weekly update 001 – Friday 5th April, 2013
Welcome, all, to the first weekly update.weekly update 001 – Friday 5th April, 2013
In the upcoming weeks, we will keep you all up to date on the development of our current project, Dark Matter, and what has been done on a week-to-week basis.
Firstly, if any of you out there reading this are animators or know any that are looking for work, please contact us. We need an animator for Dark Matter’s story 2D cut-scenes, which average between 10-30 seconds each. There are roughly 6 of these. We have had all sorts of problems with previous people interested backing out or being fully booked until towards the end of the year, so any help would be appreciated.
Secondly, we recently decided to take out one of our story-related planets and replace it with something else. If any of you have seen the story progression, on the main scripts, you will have noted Death Bringers – a story planet within Galaxy #2 of the game. It wasn’t quite fitting, no matter how matter how many times we reworked it, and is now being replaced by a planet with the story title of Transcendence Alliance.
Now for this week’s game progression:
Lee:
Lee worked heavily on the planet story Dragonknights (more on this in next week’s update).
The Dark Matter lore and history book was started, to ensure everything is in line.
Test-played Dark Matter and discovered an audio glitch as well as a
couple of difficult sections.
Edgar:
Received and incorporated lines from Chase, Gianni and Craig into the
game (Nova, Phoenix and the Warden). Great work, guys!
Rewrote Alex’s character to Max, someone who was to join in Death Bringers but was suited better to replacing Alex’s character. 98% of the lines remain, but there have been a couple of tweaks. Nexus part 1 and 2 have been edited to reflect this.
The script for Chimera has been edited to incorporate Max. No other character’s lines change.
The story for the Black Wolf Pirate planet has been radically rewritten and now includes a main plot point for Lione and another for Nova and the game’s story.
Mapping Final Gear’s city more, in-game.
Week conclusion :
So although
it may not seem like that much, we have now settled on a meeting each week to let you guys know what’s going on with Dark Matter. Our production should now pick up even more.
Thanks for reading!
