Bringing it all together

[Scott Meaney]

Hey dudes and dudettes

Right, the time has come to me to gather EVERYTHING up and place it in
engine. The only thing that is not needed until Monday is the
animation and sound. I need every level asset as tomorrow morning,
yes, "morning" I will start to place it into engine to be able to pass
to the programmers.

I know that some people have had issues with UV maps and texturing but
we cant wait for people much longer. If everyone could make finishing
touches to UV maps and textures tonight and get them all uploaded
before Midnight it would be great. Regardless of UV maps not getting
finished, I need the files. If something is not done by now, and we
wait any longer, we are going to be pushing our luck. This doesnt mean
people can not continue working on assets for the presentation, but
for the hand in, just upload what you have got. Does that make sense?

I want to be able to hand everything to the programmers Monday morning
in engine. I do not see a rason why we cannot achieve this.

Rhys, I dont know what your weekend plans are, but me and Pete are
meeting Saturday to finalise the level in engine, if you can make it
to university on Saturday and give us a hand that would be excellent.

Sammie and Jason, I am taking it you are working to give me everything
Monday. If this is not achieveable please tell me asap. As stated
above, I want to get the level working in engine for Monday, and then
simply add your animations and sounds into the file to also give to
the programmers Monday.

How does this sound to everyone? We have 14days left, and I want to
give the programmers 10days (that includes us testing the game) to get
it working.

Programmers: Can one of you please upload the current build of the
game for us to download and playtest?

Thanks

the site keeps crashing for me when i try to upload. ok if i bring the
cardinals and the lower ledge textured piece on a usb in the meeting
tomorrow? what tinme are we meeting anyway? + i got the uv for the
lower ledge but no actual ledge :S

[Scott Meaney]

I dont think we need a meeting tomorrow due to Jason and Sammie
needing as much time as they can have to animate and do sound.

I think everyone understands that all the UVs and Textures, if not
done by now have missed the deadline so even though they can go into
the version we present, we have NO TIME to wait for them to add to the
piece we give in. Time is not on our side anymore! If we slip anymore
deadlines we for one will have an issue with our production being
pushed back, and also we cant then write up that we stuck to deadlines
because if Mike and Corado have been reading this they know we didnt!
As Mike said, getting a working game is more important then actually
having a pretty game that doesnt work.

Now about tomorrows meeting, I will not be present if you have one but
I actually dont think we need to have one. There is too much to be
done and not enough to discuss. Anything that needs to be addressed,
use this message board as this is what it is here for. I tomorrow will
be adding every asset to engine, so upload now or you are going to get
phone calls tomorrow when I cant find it. I am driving North tomorrow
to take Vicki home but I will be coming back tomorrow too to get work
done. Pete is coming over mine on Saturday to further assit me on
adding assets to engine. I hope that Rhys can come too but I am yet to
ask him formally (please come dude if you read this :P).

For everyone else, use this time wisely and get your essays done, your
dissertation work and if you want to start to think about it, the
presentational work! Just because there is no more things to make for
engine doesnt mean we are finished.

Can I ask that the programmers get the Alpha to us designers please?
The one that we played and saw on Tuesday.

If anyone has uploading issues to google sites, please text me during
the day tomorrow (dont call me after 12 as I will be driving) and I
will get back to you when I can ok to discuss how to get me the files.
If anyone is near Uni, you can actually drop into my flat USB keys or
CDs with stuff on, hopefully someone will be in to recieve it. Maybe
Charlotte can be here, I dont know her plans yet.

Ok, I think that has covered everything that needs discussing. Please
can I have thoughts on this ASAP. I do recieve updates to my iphone
that get posted on here so I will be able to read them here and there.

Thanks for reading all this.

Yep agreed, me and Jason will be in today finishing up animation and
sounds, so would rather not have a meeting, too much to be done :P

[Charlotte]

I have no plans to be going anywhere today, so if anyone might be
dropping stuff round or anything I can keep it that way. If I do pop
out around campus I'll have my phone on me anyways :)

Hey guys, I have not been able to do anything since Tuesday except the
main menu, splash screen and suff. I havent been able to do anything
on the painting as my PC graphics card is overheated so i cant really
use my pc, apart from simple things as it seems to freeze when i open
unity. I have ordered a new graphics card but it wont be here until
tuesday so i be able to get it done then. What i need for the painting
is just the textured assets to scale, i can code the level then no
probs.
