#Development History
Me & Caleb have agreed to share to you the development history of smile & how smile is going on today & also what we plan to do in the future.
Caleb pitches to me an idea during downtime between classes about a game based on Smile Dog. I think its a cool concept. You get emailed a picture of Smile Dog & must close the emails. A simple game idea, we start working on a small demo & come up with a little house.
Its also around here where Dominic joins in as a graphic designer
I had already made most of the textures in the game, but Dominic helped out with the remaining textures.
So now. Things are going well, we have a working prototype of the Email system, which generates a random number 1-2000 every 30 frames & if it is over 1950 it will get an email.
Everything is cool.
I continue to work on sprites & caleb continues work on the story. Its about here where I make the SMILE DEMON sprite art & named it bob. I thought it was pretty cool. It was completely unrelated to SMILE at the time though
Caleb is finished with the story. I'm almost finished with the random generation code & the Smile Dog AI.
I realized here that Dominic was forcing us to pay him to make the sprites & textures now. So I decided to make the rest myself. And it turned out pretty cool.
Its about here where Me & Caleb decided to replace the Smile Dog in the game with the beloved bob so we could make money off of the game.
Caleb decided to cut Dominic out of SMILE because he was charging us for making sprites, & keep in mind this is mostly non-profit & it would be a death sentence to ask our parents for how much he's charging. And he got mad, reasonably. Its about here where Quin joined in as a map creator & Gio as a concept artist. & Dominic threatens to steal SMILE in its entirety. Caleb doesn't think he has the balls to im getting scared because I know he can code & he could come to my house and steal the project file on a hard drive at any time. So nobody knows what to do. We kick him outta Ratmen Productions.
