Work Completed This Milestone: General improvements: - Added multi-res terrain with multi-texture blending. - Ported the code to Xbox. This involved: - writing some extra font handling code. - modifying the input handling code. - modifying the shaders. - scaling down the terrain. - adding logic to keep the important game elements inside the TV safe region. - a good deal of debugging. Adventure mode improvements: - Enhanced movement from simple 8 direction walking to analog-sensitive walking/running. - Added cows. - Started working on aliens spawning and going after the cows. (still in progress) Battle mode improvements: - Taught the aliens to fight back. - Added a quick & dirty implementation of the aiming skill game. - Started working on projectile physics. (still in progress) Work Remaining: - Finish adventure mode gameplay - Finish implementing battle physics - Sound & Music - Deformable terrain - Shadow maps - Billboarded textures, Particle System Would be nice, but probably won't get to: - Character growth - Save/load progress Current Bottlenecks: Nothing is really holding up our work. Our progress is a little slower than we hoped, due to things like other classes and the distractions of being second-semester seniors. Getting the game to run on the Xbox took a while because we had to support 2 versions of DirectX. Timeline: Week of April 18th: Finish up adventure mode basics and make some progress with the battle physics/hit boxes. Week of April 25th: Implement shadow maps, terrain deformation, extra visuals. Add music and sound code. Tweak effects. Week of May 2nd: Add artwork, music, sound, and models. Adjust gameplay settings. |
