Week 4

Update Millatone 3


Millstone 3 is done, the basic character model "B.B." is done. There were some set-backs, but the character and platforms are mainly done.


The only thing to do is creating the planets and dividing them into breaking when the player attach to them to pull.

Week 4

•What stages of the project am I on and how is it progressing?

Right now we have finshed the level design and are about to put the coding into the game.

•How or what could I improve?

We both can Improve our communication

•Did I change my milestone goals? If so, why?

I wanted to have coding done this week but because the level wasn't ready I decided to finish that and then I got side tracked by adding art :p

•How did I deal with the problems that came up?

We troubleshoot what we can and ask for help with what we don't know.

•What is working and what is not working in the planning and implementation of the project?

Right now the Computer will have to be taken out the game and The winning element would be beating a top score.

•Briefly describe your time spent and any problems (within the team, with a computer, etc)



•Evaluate the project as a whole.


Project is coming along fine but it will be down to the wire to see if we get it done.

Week 3

Team ArmnHammer here with an update on Code Name B.B.

•What stages of the project am I on and how is it progressing?

Milestone 2 is done, a phototype is almost done, I fix the jump and movement part of the phototype. I will be starting on the modeling as soon as possible.

How or what could I improve?

Just the movement controlls, and how to stick the player controller on the planets a little better.

•Did I change my milestone goals? If so, why?

No, Not really.

•How did I deal with the problems that came up?

There was a problem with the scale of the whole level, Unity only have a limited reach as well as planning a colider wall to tell the player how far he/she can go. I can import models just fine, I hope the characters models workout fine too.

•What is working and what is not working in the planning and implementation of the project?

I will be working on the movement and jump, but the gravity and the fall speed is working better than before. I need to work on the long jump speed and reach as that is a isseue.

•Briefly describe your time spent and any problems (within the team, with a computer, etc)

As before, I fix some of the problems with the movement and jump. If I can get the phototype working all I have to do is just put in the models and codeing scripts.

•Evaluate the project as a whole.

Everything is fine for now, just need to speed things up with the models.

Week 2

Team ArmnHammer here with an update on Code Name B.B.

•What stages of the project am I on and how is it progressing?

Right now we are still polishing our concept and making the levels

How or what could I improve?

Well right now it's just a race against time as the challenge to the game. It could improve by adding more elements to challenge the player.

•Did I change my milestone goals? If so, why?

They changed alot, right now i thought i would be buried in programming but I am actually doing some level design which is pretty fun.

•How did I deal with the problems that came up?

With denial. No, i usually explain the problem to Anthony and come up with a solution to whatever problem we may have.

•What is working and what is not working in the planning and implementation of the project?

Right now i don't know what will work. One idea we have is to throw land back out but I don't know how that would work without destroying the game. So it may be scrapped or we may fine tune it. But for now we haven't come to that stage yet.

•Briefly describe your time spent and any problems (within the team, with a computer, etc)

No time as been spen on projects as of now.

•Evaluate the project as a whole.

The project has strong potential. I think I need to get into the game world to truely evalute it though.

Week 1

Hey everybody! Im Edward from ArmnHammer and I will let you guys follow me through the first week of our new project!

The name of our game is called Code Name; B.B. in which we will try to explain the vast mysteries of the universe with our uniquely styled game!

What stages of the project am I on and how is it progressing? How or what could I improve?

At the very moment that I am typing this we are in the very first stage of the project. That does not mean we are figuring out the mysteries of the universe because we already know that. But it means we are putting those mysteries into a concept document for you guys to see.

Did I change my milestone goals? If so, why?

Now as of right now my milestone goals are to get most of the coding done before next week. So I should be able to explain that in later blogs as I get more detailed into the project. (no spoilers)

How did I deal with the problems that came up?

We haven't had problems yet but I will use search engines and other online sources to get pass them when they come up.

What is working and what is not working in the planning and implementation of the project?

So far everything is working on paper. We did have to change the name bu so far the goals and concept flow throughout the game.

Briefly describe your time spent and any problems (within the team, with a computer, etc)

pass

Evaluate the project as a whole.

The project has potential to be a really great game that could be a teaching tool for children!
