Some more screens

Ok, I've been working quite a lot today on different screens, there's only a couple more I have to do then we should have a layout to work from when going into flash.

So, first I refined the Home screen. Now it has a trophy score and I changed the style of name because I didn't think the other font really worked that well. As well as this I made the text smaller and left room for both prefix's and suffix's.




The second screen I worked on was the character creation UI. J will be working on the actual items for the characters so I've just set up a layout for him to work with.


 

The last screen I've worked on today is the collections mini-menu. This will appear when the user clicks on an accessory to choose.

Dizzee Screen finished


Wednesday, 18 November 2009

One aspect of the game we've massivly overlooked, and considering the games theme it really should have been thought about from the beginning, and that's sound. OK, we agree it's going to be Dizzee, that's a given, but we need a whole bunch of sound effects for everything in the game. I don't think every button should play a sound, that gets annoying, especially how many times you actually press buttons in a mafia wars style game. But sounds for levelling up, when an hour passes by and your money goes up, when a twitter feed is addressed to you, etc. I think we should start cutting up some sounds for next weeks meeting, or even earlier and bring them in for next Wednesday.

First Draft of Home Screen


Job Screen - Finished

OK, as far as I'm concerned the job screen layout is finished, bar a few icons which Liam is working on. Next I'll work on some more screens and then next week I think we should begin getting the work into Flash.

Character Select

Unless anyone can think of any more I'm going to have six or 7 different categories;

Head: Hat's, facial hair and glasses etc

Haircut: Different styles

Upper body: T-shirts, hoodys etc

Jackets: Coats etc

Trousers: Jeans shorts etc

Footwear: Trainers, flipflops (what ever floats yer boat)

Accessories: I'll include this for the time being but not sure if its too much detail, but it will be watches rings and bling etc.

I'll see about including skin tones and maybe hair colours.
