Project Echos - Midterm Report

As of this Thursday, my group will worked on this project for 5 week, leaving 3 weeks left until it is due. I have worked out most of the underlying systems, but have had to abandon some of them for the sake of finishing the game before the deadline. One such example was loading the maps as external files. This means that all the levels will be more or less hard coded into the games. All that is left is implementing as many levels as we can in the next 3 weeks, and debugging.

Some people in my group have stated their interest in continuing the game after the deadline as a portfolio item, and hopefully reach our original vision of the game. I also have this interest, so I may post more updates after the deadline. If we had more time we would be able to reach our original vision, but the extremely short time frame along with our relative inexperience with some specific aspects, like Lua and Corona, prevents us from reaching it.

As I said with my last post I will show some of the assets for the project, and here they are:

My next post will be sometime around the end of the project unless enough progress is made to fill a post. I will be posting the .apk file after the project is finished to all who are interested in trying the game out for themselves.
