30/9 - Day 11

Today we had our second sprint review were our teachers gave us some feedback, which mainly regarded our asset breakdown. It was the only thing that they specifically told us to change, which we need to do before the alpha presentation on Friday. This time, we were able to show them more of what we have been working on in the form of our prototype in Unity as well as the debug menu in Tengine, which we also got some minor feedback on.

I mostly spent the day on writing playtest and a variables documents for our programmers and also worked on various managerial tasks.

That is all I had to share for today!

Until next time!

21/10 - Day 26

Today was a really, really slow day. We got a lot of critique from our teachers at the sprint review, mainly regarding our progress in the project and in our planning. They would have liked to have seen more art assets and placeholders inside the game at this point, sadly though, we had a lot of sickness throughout our group last week, which resulted in us lagging a bit behind schedule. We will just have to make up for lost time this week!  I mostly spent the day on playtesting and stresstesting our version of the game on the PS4. It turned out to be a very hard task, since that version of the game just crashes for some reason. One of our programmers will have to continue with troubleshooting this problem tomorrow, or we might not be able to have a game to show for the beta presentation on Friday. // Samuel Kärvemo, Lead Designer at Les Variables.

17/10 - Day 24

We got another visit from our sound designers today, who brought us some new sounds they had been working on, as well as a new sound bank for us to try out. I also had a brief meeting with them where we discussed a bit about the project in general and what they had been working on. Afterwards they got to play some of our new levels and provided some feedback about their experience with it. It was a lot of talking for me today where I spent most of the time allowing people to playtest our game and listening to feedback. Tomorrow, we will start preparing for our sprint review that will have on Monday. That is it for today, thank you for reading! // Samuel Kärvemo, Lead Designer of Les Variables

16/10 - Day 23

We once again had a lot of sick people today but we have somehow managed to stay positive and push through the hardships we face. We had our weekly catch-up meeting today were we discussed worries and issues we have to deal with as a team. It turned out to be a very valuable discussion with simple and clear solutions in sight. We are all still a bit weary about how things will turn out, but whatever the case, it will turn out to be a spactacular game, even if we do not have time to add everything we planned to add. I spent most of the time on level design and ended up with some of the hardest puzzles the game has seen so far. I even got very positive feedback from a playtester that had tried the game out once before. This could very well be the basis of the last level in the entire game. Even though we have been a bit unlucky with a lot of us being sick, we seem to be in a good spot right now, even though our priorities need to change a bit. There is no reason to worry just yet, ...
