Development Log - Week10

This week, we focussed on fixing most of our graphical and gameplay bugs and making sure everything we want it the game functions as it should. One of the important things we fixed right at the start of the game, is the character select. It is now actually possible to choose what character you want to play as and spawn in accordingly, instead of spawning in as a random character as soon as you press a button in game. We almost broke this system at the eleventh hour by changing a minor thing in the Captain's HUD, somehow leading to a domino effect of problems that made our whole game unplayable. Fortunately, our programmers quickly figured out what the problem was and everything seems to be working smoothly now.

In addition, we started polishing some of our features. Diver can do some cool loops now, as well as light up the scenery. So does the big monster, but his light is purple. The rest of the polish will be taken care of next week, as well as sound effects. Our artists already started working on ambient sounds and music. Maybe we will even include some personalized voice acting...
