WARP DOGS’ CORP LOGS

The state of our Warp Corp is strong. Since the last update I was able to stockpile another $1,000 or so. We’re still in the earning period, so no spending yet.

Sprint Goals

This sprint will have a fairly specific goal for once – dialogue, and everything surrounding it. I’ve decided to write my own dialogue library as well, which will be good practice!

• A better dialogue system. Let’s display text in a cool way, that’s easy to add onto, where you can change colors and sizes easily, and more
• Basic responses and choices. Nothing fancy, but you should be able to ‘respond’ to a question
• Bonus flavor features. Text boxes that shake when scared, that try to fly away, that bounce around, that spin in circles

Dialogue is going to be a big part of this game, so it’s important to dedicate some time to it. Hope to have a good amount to share at the end

No One Goal Should Have All That Power

WARP DOGS’ CORP LOGS

The state of our corporation is strong, mostly because we aren’t spending anything yet. We currently have enough cash to sustain us for 8 weeks once we take the plunge – a good amount, but not nearly enough.

November’s cash is being largely spent on the future so that anything in December (henceforth known as Mega Month) can be deposited directly into the company coffers

Sprint Power Goals

Last sprint I had a mini-revelation for how I prefer to work. Instead of epics and features and stories, I’ve decided instead to use something I’m calling Power Goals. The 1-week sprint structure allows me to make changes quickly and, uh, with agility, so that’s just what I plan to do

• The tired dog makes his way to the warmest spot in the room and, with a sigh, plops down and falls asleep
• The player throws a ball. It bounces. The dog fetches it – but to where?
• An inn full of strange regulars
• Stalk, chase, and catch a sea fly
• The player enters the room, plops down a chair, and sits in it

Let’s-a-go
