Week 2

January 31, 2020

Development

We are pleased to let you know that we have added three new teammates to help strengthen the backbone of our project (a composer, a programmer, and another 3D artist)! Their fighting spirit is by no means less than ours which is why we accepted them into our team. While we are still busy assigning the tasks, we have improved the aesthetics of the deck builder noticing its lack of impression. We added some floral and skeletal decorations to depict the two sides of using aura. In addition, the Deck Builder has some nifty animations (Sun rays, falling leaves, butterflies)!

Art Update

For this art week’s update, here are some work in progress screenshots of our first summon: the Brave Adventurer! Referenced from the 2d concept art made by Nic. The “Brave Adventurer” is commissioned by our talented 3d artist Guillermo (his instagram). This “summon” will most likely be the foot soldier of many aura users.

Technical Update

The webserver is finally up and supported by Amazon’s cloud computing service. As massive as this update suggests, we cannot, however, disclose the majority of the information due to its sensitive nature. But rest assured the webserver is now reliable and secure. We also redesigned the home page to focus on our major and minor updates, as we think it is one of the most critical aspects of developing a game.
