Status Update on Beta Part 2

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

We are aiming to have the official beta release of Leaf Bound: Mecha Monkey Mayhem by tonight as promised. If you haven’t signed up for beta testing yet then please do so. Duy completed the design of the elements for the first boss. I’m going to do a test on the boss battle in a moment. The menu screen and loaders are completed. We are close to having a fully functional game. We are aiming at knocking out the game over screen tonight. Hopefully I’ll be able to have an update on the video with sound. Quynh is finishing up the boss soundtrack. Check back tonight!

Hang in there! We are getting there!

Status update on beta

Monday, May 4th, 2009

Been out all day. Finally got home to do a conference call with Tony and Duy. So we are aiming at getting the first official BETA release by Wednesday. A handful of people had already signed up to test our Leaf Bound: Mecha Monkey Mayhem beta.

Quynh is finishing up the sound track for the boss battle and finalizing some in game sound effects. We should have those ready by the time we release the Beta. All the pieces are being put together rapidly the further we go into the project.

We are completing the transition of the levels and main boss for the first level. Once we have our two levels with boss in it then we will release the beta. We will keep the beta updated with revisions until the official release of the game. We just have to get the hard part out of the way.

There are a lot of small items in the game play that makes it fun and exciting. We are going to add invincibility for our character. If she collects 3 hot sauce bottles in a row then she will turn red and become faster and invincible for a period of time.

I will email everyone that is on our beta test list instructions on how to download it as soon as we get the official one going.

Night Level Screen Shots

Saturday, May 2nd, 2009

I’ve completed the design of the night level a week ago. It was a tweak of the original bamboo day time stage. I altered the colors and changed the background to fit with a more nightly theme.

In the screen shots below I demonstrate the resized smoke explosion of the monkeys. Now the explosions are even bigger!

Snow Stage Screen Shots

Saturday, May 2nd, 2009

Duy just finished designing the snow stage. This is our brightest level thus far. I added in the stage’s ledge to match the snow level a little bit. Sprinkled some snow on top of the ledge.

Pictures below:

Video: Coconut throwing and exploding monkeys!

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Here is another video that I just uploaded. It is a demonstration of coconut throwing and exploding monkeys! This is still in beta! I’ve been having fun stomping on monkeys. Right now the coconuts don’t do any damage to our character. We will add that part in next.

I’ve been working on the explosion animation all day. Spent a while tweaking it so it would look right when I stomp on the Monkeys.

Enjoy the video!
