Programming: work of the weekend.
I spent some time yesterday (Sunday) working on Candy Wars. I added sounds (a piece of cake actually!) and a life bar. The terrain objects “Healing Soda cans” and “Victory point” are now working properly. I also added the main menu made by Gud!
But well, when I was almost done something got messed up in the project files – the game was working no more – and I hadn’t commit my work! :( *boink*
However, the source files were still remaining intact, so I was able to restore the project earlier this morning. I’ve also exchanged the splash/loading screen picture and the ground selectors’ sprite to the new ones Pelle has made. The victory screen is also included now. The game is looking fantastic!
Our group met this morning and we’ve decided that we’re done with the game now. There’s still some time left to make some improvements (bug testing ftw!) and add additional game content (levels, new elements/terrain etc), but how we’re dealing with it shall be decided later when we got a emptier scheme =)
Great tutorial for adding sounds:

We’re announcing that the game is done by today.

Things like the trailer, the dvd-cover and the game itself will be presented june 5th.
A round of champagne for everyone.
