Week 7
Progress Update
We've revamped the game, again. Although we only have 4 weeks left in the semester, the team feels confident that we can pull something together in the limited timeframe.
The New New Design
Our newly revamped game consists of one player using the Guitar Hero controller in conjunction with the Microsoft Kinect for a new and unique gaming experience. The game plays as an on rails shooter, with the player using the guitar as their weapon. The player can aim by moving the guitar around, and then fire by strumming. But it's not as simple as that - the enemies on screen will be one of four different colors - green, red, yellow, or blue. Each color of enemy can only be killed with ammo of their color. So how do you change ammo? By pressing one of the buttons on the guitar hero controller. You have limited ammo, though, so you'll have to use the orange button to reload if you run out. Finally, you have a few grenades that you can use by pushing the whammy bar. Grenades kill all enemies on screen, but cannot be refilled. The game plays out in stages, and each stage ends when the player gets to the end of the level.
Moving Forwards
At this point, all of our work is going to be focused on bringing this game to life in the incredibly limited timeframe we have. It may seem impossible, but the team is confident that they can pull it off.
Until next time.
