Day 71: Bits and Bobs

We're slowly reaching the end of production as the assignments on our Trello trickle into the "Done" folder. Chances are pretty good that we get back to school, realize we've overlooked something really important and have a panic at the end (as so often happens with game production) but hey-ho. Its part of the job ;P

Molly and Erik went over all the voice acting deciding if any takes had to be redone. While doing so they noticed there was a sequence that could do with a bit of extra art. NOW all the extra art is done...We hope.


Art-wise, mainly User Interface stuff (such as menus) has to be done now. We made a bit of a start but we'll have to make sure everything is good together when we get back to the office next week.

Day 70: Extra Art is All Done!

Before the Christmas holiday we made a sheet of illustrations we were considering adding to the game if we had the time to make them. Today, the last of them were finished! We just need to see now if we have the time to implement them into the actual game. :X

Day 69: Boxing Day

Tomorrow its full steam ahead but there is one more day of freedom.

We do have something to post though. One of the presents Molly (writer/artist) got for Christmas was "The People's Almanac presents the Book of Lists 1977". An odd present for sure but an interesting source of facts from a bygone era without internet. One of the lists is "11 Prominent Coffee Drinkers", which has Johann Sebastian Bach at the top.

"Bach wrote Coffee Cantata, a humorous one-act operetta about a stern father's attempt to check his daughter's indulgence in the coffee habit. From the Cantata: " Betty: "Dear father, don't be so strict! If I can't have my little demitasse of coffee three times a day, I'm just like a dried-up piece of roast goat!""""

Betty must be a programmer. :P

We're not going to work tomorrow (our families miss us) but there will still be a blog entry. Be sure to check it out tomorrow. ;) 

Merry Christmas! We hope you all get your last-minute Christmas shopping done today. :)

Day 65: School's Out

Today was the last day before our college shuts for Christmas. The next two weeks we're all working from home. Hopefully we ought to still be able to post blog updates despite this. There will probably the the odd day with no updates seeing that it's Christmas and all.

We hope to get all the assets implemented over the next two weeks so we can use the rest of our time getting ready for launch, the school showcase and polish things up in the game.

Speaking of the showcase, a message to all our Dutch readers. Storkinators will be showcased on the 16th of January at our college. You are more than welcome to pop by and say hi!
