Final version

Hey everyone,

Here is the final version of the game that we submitted for assessment. It's packed into an installer to compress the game (from 1GB+ down to 300MB) so it's a bit more download friendly and easy to get going.

Enjoy!

Update for 5/8/14

Today we presented our pitch of the game we plan to make in the coming months. We will upload a pdf of the powerpoint presentation we made very soon, and we are going to present it to a panel of industry professionals as well in two weeks. Here is the title screen we made for the presentation.

Stealth Prototype screenshots

 Here's some screenshots of the Stealth Game prototype we presented last week.

Today we:
-Worked on documentation about the dragon game, including a design document, an art bible and a technical design document.
-Worked on creating a presentation and pitch for our game.
-Decided upon a name for the game:

Update for 30/7/14

Today, we:
-Furnished the rooms in the stealth robbery prototype with the props we made, and added lasers as well. We will move onto a different prototype next week.
-Decided on what game we plan to proceed with. We decided on a multiplayer dragon game where you go around killing villagers and claiming their treasures, meanwhile other dragons are doing the same thing and can steal your treasures (however, they have to deal with tiny dragons you can spawn defending the villages).

Update for 29/7/14

Today, for our stealth robbery prototype we're currently working on, we:

-Modelled some props and furniture, such as shelves, televisions and security cameras.
-Partially fixed AI for the security guards of the prototype.
-Created a camera system to switch between stationary cameras for different sections of the level based on where the player was currently at.

Introduction

Hello, and welcome to the Overcharge Studios blog! We are a group of six students who intend to create a great game for our final assessment. We have several ideas for this and we're currently crafting prototypes to see which ones we like best. Here are screenshots of two of them!
