Reflection :
After this lecture we thought about and discussed about the tasks from last week and new tasks for this week. I had already began trying pixel art however the aspect was wrong, therefore I had to retry it in a different size. To avoid this happening again we made a set aspect for the rooms. We applied today’s lectures by revising our Lament plan and making a few changes by breaking down variables into deliverables and tasks. For example,
- Create new character > concept art > 3d modelling > rig/animate.
- I prioritized what characters to make with what my teammates were working on so when they were finished with the coding they can just implement it with my design.
🔴 – Not implemented
🟠 – Working on
🟢 – complete
Current vertical slice idea :
First Realm (Depression) Containing:
