Introduction

Hello fellow game enthusiasts i am glad to say we made a lot of progress ready to present to the world.

Art

Over the past few weeks, we've been hard at work adding a ton of new features to our game. We've fine-tuned a couple of models from previous production weeks to ensure they fit seamlessly into the game. We've also textured most of the models, and they'll be ready to be implemented into the game by next week. One exciting update is that we're proud to introduce the four crazy scientists, with each player getting to play as one of them. The player animations have already been implemented, so the character is fully playable.

 We've also completed the portal mechanics, allowing players to teleport themselves and others. The creepy zombies have been modeled and textured, ready for our programmers to bring them to "life" or rather, "death" in this case. 

We've made great progress on the join room, which is almost complete. It will serve as a hub for players to gather before moving on to the next phase of the game, which will be implemented next week. 

Additionally, we've created visual effects (VFX) for the turret and portals, adding visual flair to the game. Sound effects, such as music for the join room, portal sound effects, walking, and jumping sounds have also been implemented to enhance the overall gaming experience. 

We added a few pictures for the readers to check out. I hope you guys are excited as we are, and check out our progress each week!

Programming

On the programming front, progress is going well and we're making steady strides towards completion. The player features have been largely implemented, including the functionality for using portal guns and executing running and jumping actions. It's shaping up to be a solid foundation for the rest of the development process.

On the next episode:

Next week the main arena will start to get shape, new backgrounds, areas and dangerous hazards are comming this way so the battle to the death can almost begin.

See you then!!!
