The Straightjacket Project PPJ

Here is what we still have to do… Our battle is to be fought on two fronts: The game and the presentation. Some of these are more important than others, and a few arent even completely necessary. Updates will be posted as comments on this post.
The Game

• Characters: List where each character is. Implement them in the game. Create dialogue .fla's and actionscript. Triggering flags and debelting animations. Trigger animations (jumping into robot,punching,etc). Script becoming a robot/controlling him instead of main character.
• Items: List where each item is. Implement them in game (attach & detach script). If possible, script custom cursor for using items (mouse.hide(); wrenchCursor._x=_xmouse; etc)
• Main character walk script and interactions for each room. Add scaling in perspective to the walk script.
• Finish environments (lab & pants king) and tie into game. Also, how does boiler/steam mini game/gondola work??
• Implement time code & create clock item to place in environments.
• Finish game art for each minigame. win conditions?
• Lay down ambient music track
• Create launch screen
• Fix bugs:
  • Preloader not always working. Somehow load all files in the background?
  • Insane camera: messes up when switching rooms & when zoomed in.

The Presentation:

• Script
  • Distill game & concepts into simple explanation
  • What did we plan to accomplish? our goals? our inspiration?
  • Break into pieces. Script each of these word for word and gather screenshot examples. Early Concepts. Environments. Minigames. Characters.
• Trailer
  • Refine and lengthen trailer. Smoother/slower pans, more environments, better convey the story. Show clips from beginning to end. Key scenes.
