14/06/2010: two weeks left!

Today, we made some time to party for my birthday :)

Besides the party, following things have been done the last couple of days:

1. Creation of a main menu video: I did some recordings of the church in our village and processed it in After Effects (night effect based on the day to night conversion tutorial on video copilot, some cartoon effect and - took some time - motion tracking on the roof of the church to put in some light in the tower). The main menu looks really cool now!
2. Created the level boss behaviour: the game has now a boss that behaves like a boss. To be honest he is a little bit too difficult to beat, will have to tweak the parameters :)
3. Created a basic HUD: the HUD displays the health of Simon in the upper left corner of the screen.

 I also uniformized the text fonts used in the intro, the main menu and the HUD: everything is based on Gill Sans Ultra Bold.

Saturday, I also got my final coaching session: got quite some remarks on the outro. As such, this week I will be working on those remarks and the ones made on the intro. Since time is going fast, it will not be possible to process all remarks.
