Sprint the 1st of this semester

I have been put on getting some of the Main menu stuff working. What I have accomplished this sprint is getting my Layout scheme, that I worked on at the beginning of the project, to work with a place in our Options menu. I have created multiple Layouts that get cycled through.The coding is in place, I just need a graphical representation of what layouts are being cycled through.  I was also assigned to get all the avatars of signed in players onto the start screen. I have code in place to test this and I will be testing it in the near future.
So far this sprint we are working quickly to have a game we can submit for approval and start the testing sequence of the xblig dev process.
Also on the plate to do is to test games with our business license. We are approaching deadlines and things are getting tight. Today we are hopefully going to have a level and more in the game.

Second Semester

The semester has started and out team has hit the ground running. We had a good sit down meeting to really flesh out out game and the direction we are going.
We really nailed down what the UI system is going to be. and some of the GUI elements. My job right now is to make the menu system look and reacted nice to the player input. First we are going to add the players avatar onto the start menu screen. This start menu screen will give the player the feel of there avatar is what they are playing with. We are adding the ability to press buttons besides start and see different ninja moves that your character will have in the game. Though there will be a scripted sequence that you can watch if you don't want to press buttons. My next task is to take the ability to have multiple layouts that I created last semester and add it to the Options screen.

So some of the cool things we have decided was the starting tutorial like area of your avatar breaking out of a prison cell. This will give you small challenges to learn how to move throughout the game. When you finish getting out of the prison cell. When you get out your character set out to complete trials/quests/objectives.
I will post pictures ect once things change and get working.
