Week 7

Where we are so far...

Obasi has re sized the characters , and added the zombie wall, we also decided to remove zombies flying. we also agreed to make the combo text more random in terms of where it appears.
Logan is continuing his work on the coffee cup, as well as the background work.
Akila is working on the revisions for the Humans, and Zombies that need work.
Tika has updated the in between on the environments.
Josh has begun adding Easter eggs, and working on the document. 
Justin has removed the falling animation for the wall, and re worked the size of them.
Andrea has begun texturing the blood and gore animations from the line work.
Andrew has begun adding a collision animation, and re tweaking the audio.

Zombie Mowers Blood and Gore concepts

So this is the block in of the blood and gore for the zombie mowers, Andrea will be texturing them.
These concepts are just the blood and gore, and will not feature the mowers themselves. this will be added onto them.

Bloodtrail concept

So, after creating the blood trail concept, myself and andrew ran into a conundrum, if the player ever decides to translate up or down, the blood trail would technically follow, unless theres a way to generate the trail behind the mower.
The only way I could think of having the trail follow, is to have the trail broken up in to 40+ sprites, so that when the mower moves, the trail will be broken up.

and yes, its a concept, because I dont want to texture/color a idea that wont come to fruition.

Week 5

Its week 5! which means we need to not only have all the animations that were done uploaded to the game, but all the obstacles, and power ups as well. The midterm is Thursday.

As of right now from this post.
Tika has uploaded a suburban environment which is very well done,
Andrea needs to upload her sprite sheets to give to Obasi.
Andrew is doing 2 of the human animations, after finishing the mower.
Justin is doing the other 2 human animations, after he finishes the Zombie wall.
Logan needs to finish the power ups, and begin adding the HUD elements.
Obasi is adding the final touches to making the game Beta worthy.
Josh will be adding some unique obstacles with certain Easter eggs.

All in all, we are on schedule, and with just a few hiccups, we plan to have the rest of the animations done by week 7. and have any bugs fixed by the end of week 6.
week 8 is when we begin to add more to the game, like more zombies, humans, obstacles, environments etc.

Obstacles Cont.

Here are the rest of the obstacles, in total there are 21. 

Obstacles

Week 2

This week, we refined the roles that we will be doing.
Andrea and Akila have agreed to do 4 humans and zombies each.
Programming is coming along, and has the basic structure of the game set up.
A rough zombie mower has been made as well.
We decided that the concept art would be due on Tuesday of Week 3. And we would see what each other would be up to during Thursday class to see if everyone is on track.
