Happy Turkey-week everyone!
As we all know, the infamous Black Friday is happening in a few days. So if you’re out camping for those sweet deals, make sure you pick up our beta. Yep! It’s releasing on Black Friday, so get ready for some crazies to happen!
We’ve had a lack of updates for the past two weeks, we all personally apologize. It’s been extremely hectic at Fake Cake Studios. Each team is on a time crunch to get this beta ready for you all to try. There will be more information on the beta as the actual Black Friday draws closers, so stay tuned.
A huge update from our last development blog: we had to merge our 2nd and 3rd levels together. With the end of the quarter literally 3 weeks away, we do not have the time to have a fully functional and complete level 3. We’re close, but why not just have a super big awesome crazy level 2! For each level, we have Matt Thomas, Quinton Hanifen, and Asa Payan working on each level by going back and checking colliders, updating textures to floors, walls, and other objects throughout the levels.
It’s been an extremely tough week for our Lead Programmer, Joshua Murrill. He is currently working on the Artificial intelligence, our Webstore implementation, and also animation triggering. An update from Joshua, of what is already implemented and functioning in-game, Nerd (playable character), dynamic steering and detection method for the AI, menu functionality, scoring, and the PowerUps. “Currently we have a functioning and playable level,” is what we got from Joshua, so we’re close to have a demo/beta to release by this week.
On the social media sides of things, we currently have our own Fan Page on Facebook, so rush on over and hit that Like button here: Facebook.com. For the latest updates, check back often to see what we’re up to! Over the course of last week, we also have a Twitter set up, @fakecakestudios, please follow us! Currently our official website is work in progress, as our Web Designer, Jessica Roots, is working with her partner to finish the website.
Thank you for reading! Have a Happy Thanksgiving week! :)
