It’s been quite a while since we last updated our progress. Most of this has to do with most of the team going on vacation or getting paying jobs, all of which we knew was going to happen. The rest of it is just laziness in actually writing one. Our bad. Anyways, when we last left […]

It’s been a hectic last week or so as we have been trying to get back into the groove of things. Transitioning from a team that worked together in the same room for about four months to one that is only meeting for a few hours per week has been quite challenging. Part of our […]

It has been a few weeks since we last posted as most of the team went on a much needed break, but we are now back together and preparing plans for the future of our company and the House of Usher. While we did give ourselves some time off, most of us kept pushing forward. […]

As last week was the last week of our semester, we worked feverishly trying to get all our content in. The house itself was finally pared down to a reasonable size and we were able to start getting all the textures onto the surfaces. We did an initial pass on the lighting to set the […]

Over the last week we have been keeping our heads down and focused on getting everything into the game itself. Marcelo has been busy finishing up the animations and finally handed over the JSON format so the animations could be coded into the game. He also started making all the 3D assets and UVing them. […]

Last week was a big week for the team as we finally could go into proper production in all areas of the game. Monkey was able to get our new object interaction system into the game so we can now pick up and place down objects or even toss them somewhere. Marcelo was able to finish […]

Real progress is finally starting to appear in our work. We had a lot of assets that had to be UV’d and the appropriate texture sizes had to be decided upon. Previously this had all been just guess work, but after some discussion within the team, we created some UV tile maps and applied it to […]

Last week began with the team deciding that we needed to start having much shorter sprints if we were going to be able to hit our goals. While we were on track to achieving our final goal, it was hard to know what actually needed to be done at any given point. We also knew that […]

Once again we had a week with a messed up schedule and we found it difficult to gain traction. There was a holiday in the middle of the week and most of the team had make up classes that ate into our development time together. At times it felts as though we weren’t making any […]

The week started off with a review of our milestone and an adjustment to our schedule going forward. As previously mentioned, we were pretty happy with what we have achieved, but that we had not completed everything we had intended. Looking forward at what we promised for the next milestone, we still believed that we […]
