Sounds

Over the weekend I worked on getting a demo reel from our voice actress so I could get her in the right direction of what voice the team wants for our game. She sent in a really good mp3 and we're excited what she'll produce for us! :D
Monday I worked on the sounds that our game is using and edited some to be a higher pitch. Now, I will start working on the beach level.

Palm Tree

I had some time so I quickly made a palm tree.

I have created more designs to the beach level. I will show them to the art team tomorrow and we'll pick one we like. Whether I will model it or not, I am not quite sure. I will also have to talk about that with the team. Roger suggested we change our sound effects to more of a cuter, high-pitched quality to match the toy-look our game has. So, I will be going through all the sounds and editing them or making new sounds to match our game. I am confident I could do both, but I will still ask my team's opinion.

I have also thought of one-liners for our two heroes and have also thought of new game titles. I have sent them to the team to get opinions and more ideas. Hopefully we'll get some good stuff! :D

Levels, Music, and Sounds

I asked if I could design a level and got the OK. I will be making a beach level. I have already sketched a few designs for the level and will get working on one as soon as I can. I have also finished the Going Commando song. I will get that song on my blog shortly so you all can hear. I have also contacted a male voice actor and a female voice actor to give us some screams and one-liners for our hero characters. Huzah!

Feedback and Editing

I went and helped out with the presentation of our game to the Entertainment Arts and Engineering masters students. We gave them a Q&A after they played the game and got some really good feedback. Apparently, many of them liked the blocky and simple art style with the environments. I will have to discuss this with my fellow artists in our group and decide what we need to do with the levels.

On a side note, I did edit the scream and death sound library a voice actor friend of mine gave me. I tried to make them as compressed as possible without them having a horrible sound.

Environments and more sound

A friend of mine who is a professional voice actor gave me a reel to use of him screaming along with dying noises, etc. I plan to edit it and make it available for our game so we can use them if we wish to.

I have also started adding more geometry to our levels. I am doing a test firstly to see if our game can handle more geometry. I would like to see if it works before I add more geometry and add textures.

Environments

So, Shane and I noticed that one of the trees was not drawing correctly in the game. We are trying to fix that. I also received the map files and will begin adding more geometry and textures to them.

Trailer

Over the break I made a trailer for our game. Looking forward to the next semester!
