Still plugging away at these cutscenes.  Here is the one that will play in between levels 1 & 2.

Loading & Game Over Screen Updates

I made a loading screen for in between cutscenes and levels as well as updated the art for the game over screen.  Both of these changes are currently implemented into the game.

Intro Cutscene: Mae'o's Backstory

Drawing and writing this cutscene took much longer than anticipated and set me rather far behind schedule.  Although I have been keeping up with the animation and level extension portions, the rest of the cutscenes are pushed back.  With only a month left of production, it will be a major push to complete the remaining cutscenes, but it is certainly doable.

Milestones & Playtesting Sessions

We have reached the half-way point of the semester and are moving into the final stretch of production.  Here is what we have accomplished so far:

• Level 1 Extensions (implemented)
• Level 2 Extensions (implemented)
• Level 3 Extensions (implemented)
• Jackals (implemented)
• New HUD 
• Power-up assets
• Intro Cutscene
• Sound Effects
• Coins
• Level-up
• Power-ups
• Added X-box controller support

We have also conducted several playtests and received overall positive feedback.  The playtests also alerted us to some problems that we intend to remedy such as:

• more Checkpoints
• more Story elements (cutscenes)
• changes to the control scheme

SFX Update

I have completed sfx for coins and power ups. I used FL Studio to create the sounds using the piano with added effects to it.

Enemy Health HUD

I wrote another health HUD script that will be used for the Sand Witch. I imported the jackal image into the game for testing and applied the script into the game manager and the image. Following the same method I used for the player health HUD from last semester helped me to write this script.
