14/03/2010: Feedback and planning

Okay, Saturday I've shown my work to my coach Raoul and as I expected there is still a lot to do. Currently, my progress bar is at 50%... which is not the best situation since there are only three months left. Anyway, this is the timeline for the weeks to come:

• now -> 28/03: rounding up the game engine. Things that have to be done yet:
• Physics (with or without physics engine)
• Collision detection
• Sound
• Video playback (for the intro/outro)
• 28/03 -> 21/04: setting up Anime Studio in order to create all in game animations and the intro/outro animations since the approach I'm following now is too tedious. Compositing will be done in After Effects.
• Also some modifications will be made to the backgrounds:
• More houses that are closer to each other to create a typical 'Ardens' style.
• A path with no gap in it.
• And I will need to find out some way to stitch the individual frames together.
• 21/04 -> 30/04: include all new content in the game and make it work.
• 1/5->7/5: voices, sounds and music. I will need to record some voices, that will be fun :)
• 8/5->21/5: intro (= a lot of work!)
• 21/5-> 6/6: outro (= a lot of work!)
• 7/6->15/06: packaging (eg. create a DVD cover)
• 15/06->26/6: testing, debugging, quality check, ...
• And some study for the examination and presentation.

Additionally, some small modifications are needed to the figures; will do that today.
