Building a Battery

Environment work has started. The first area we're creating is based off of one of the many abandoned military gun batteries that scatter the pacific coast. We've got a full proxy of the level built and navigable and now we're putting forth the hard work of turning those boring grey boxes into something beautiful.

We started by doing a few paint overs of our grey boxed level.

And from there we've begun creating assets.

More art to come so keep your eyes posted.

Head of the Class

Progress update for Dani and Gabe.  With the final designs nailed down, we begin working on the creation of assets to bring the game together!  These are the current head models for Dani and Gabe respectively.  Their featureless, hairless craniums are rendered in porcelain of added creepy effect.  The bodies will soon be completed and connected to make our full characters, and the next task will be clothing them.

Team Building: Favorites!

Hello all!  Today's post will be about team building.  One thing that helps people connect is common interests.  It's how we relate to one another, right?.  But what do you do when you're so eager to know someone, you just want to instantly be friends?  We've come up with the perfect solution.

Don't let all those pesky extra words get in the way: just work on a spreadsheet like us!  A simple, efficient, and interactive way to know almost everything you'd want to know about someone.  Instead of putting words together in your brain, just filter to the golden nuggets of information you need to truly bond with another human being.  So the way it's broken down is easy: rows of categories and columns for each participant's answers.  "What's your favorite food?" No need to ask questions.  Make it a statement!  "You like cheeseburgers!"

Check out this absurdly cool chart!

Joking aside, it's a great little game to figure out what each person likes and dislikes.  A set of prompts that you can refer to when you need to buy Christmas presents, can't decide on lunch, or whatever other disputes you need settled.  The categories can really be anything.  So far, we have about 25, ranging from games, movies, music, animals, even worst fears.  It constantly gets updated with new categories or revised answers, and we had a great time spending hours figuring out out favorite Pokemon, books, and actors/actresses.
