Flash Game Dev - 5

This week the goal was to follow the set duedates and try and get as much done as possible. We had a discussion on how to get things moving faster. Since there is so few of us, am we cannot dedicate our fulltime to this project things have been getting rather slow. But I managed to finish up all of my ship sprites, plus try some animation. Shannon the made the first version of a possible theme tune. Zach created a wiki to put all of our ideas together, which made the whole project seem more tight. Alex started working on the tilesets for the islands. And Steve did a great mock up of the UI. This is all great, but its not like we have moved on much further from where we have been. One idea for geting things moving faster, is to imrove comunication between the team, So Zach has set up a group chat on mibbit.net where we can go whenever and chat as a group. After one session we have come up with a decent plot, and a story board for the first mission.

Making something so simple as a flash game, is much more time and thought consuming than one would think.
