New GoGo model W.I.P.

08/08/2008 by admin.

Hello everyone,
Well it’s been a busy work week for me, this week.

The day job has really take up most of my time this week and because I have spent a lot of time in air conditioned computer rooms the last couple of weeks, I’m fighting a bit of a cold so my night work has been a bit slow.
I also bought a pack of music files from All Game Music.com (1000+ MP3 tunes) for about $32 us dollars. I was actually surprised by the quality of the tunes. I was expecting to only get about 6-12 tunes that I would like, but so far, there’s been at least 12 tunes I really like and I’ve only looked at the first section (about 80 files). They will be handy for little freeware game and in game menu music, and I’ve still got another 900+ tunes to listen to yet.
Also finally got my empty game case replaced from Tesco (it’s the biggest super market chain in the UK). It took an e-mail to the main branch and three arguments with the staff at the store to get it replaced and I don’t think I would have got it replaced if it wasn’t for who I work for, as you could tell by the look on their faces they really didn’t want to do it, but simply because of the way the first staff members talked to me when I tried to get a replacement, I was determined to get it replaced. So the next time you buy something from a big super market, check the box straight away.

GoGo Digger:
I need to start trying to push the game around to some of the indie websites to try to get some reviews of the game and try to get some more publicity for the game.
Isaac is still having a rest from finishing the game, well I say resting, but he has been working on Lucky 7 as well =)

Shuffle Blocks:
I’ve been working out how the Cannons will work in the game and creating the basic cross hair sizes for the game, I’m guessing you may be wondering how cannons are involved in a word game, well I’ll explain that later.
I’ve also been remodelling the GoGo character. I’ve changed the design slightly and made the model a lot more detailed so I can now animate the full face and the hands now. I guess the new model has a slightly 50’s art deco style to it and I’ve slimed him down a bit. Not totally sure if it’s the right way to go with the character, but I think it will read better on the screen. It’s still a work in progress of course, so thing could and probably will change.
