Unit 73 HCI Final Day!

Yo!
Today is the final day of my HCI development. I will mostly be trying to clean up my HCI so it runs smooth, there might be some areas that won't be finished, but I will try to make it run smoothly.
9.00am - started to try and make a slider bar, so far, I am not getting it to work as well, the program says it's wrong, but that's that. I've decided to not make my slider bar move, the programming is too confusing and the only site that works on the college's network doesn't make much sense, I've also decided not to do this, as I don't want to be using up all my time making something that won't work.
9.46am finished my pause menu, so far it is working and the options now go back to the pause menu, and if the user presses pause on the menu, it goes back to the game.
10.22am - just finished the new game screen, the user can now change hair styles as an elf and dwarf without it keep going back to the human screen.
10.47 am - how now just changed the code, so now the user can change between the races at any hair style without going back to default hair.
11.11 am - finished all the modifications for my HCI. There are a few elements on my HCI that I would add due to time, so in the new game the user can't:

• change gender
• name them self
• change hair colour
• change skin colour
• change eye colour of shapes

I also decided to remove the credits, I think it is just there for display, and I can't think as to what to put into the credits, so I will remove it.

I have made 19 folders and used around 345 frames for my HCI.

11.31 am- I have just finished cleaning up my HCI by going through my programming for my new game, this will now allow the user to not have to go back to the first page.

11.52am - just finished a save menu remod, just testing it, it should ask the player if they want to save or not, if no, it should go back to the save menu, if yes it should go back to the game. It does work! So now I am about finished, I've done all the menus I can with the time I have, the New game is the biggest and complicated, if I had more time, I would be able to finish the new game, with other features in it, like change of gender and colour, but I'm happy with the overall project and how it looks so far.

11.59 am- just had a quick run though on my HCI and it is working, all the buttons go to the right page and they are all looking good. I'm very pround of the way the HCI has turned out and have found it a time comsuming but good working process.

Unit 73 HCI final stages.

Yo!

Nearly finished my HCI, I only have to do a few more menus:

• Control menu
• Camera
• DLC menu
• Credits
• Sign-in

9.00 am -09.33 am Just finished the layout of the Control menu. I've done a simple controller picture, placed my controls on the arrows and used the picture from the menu screen. I've choosen to do this because the rest of my menus are brown and I wanted to have a change and make the screen more appeling.

9.45am Finished my control menu! Here it is on Flash

10.26am Finished the Camera menu, Sign-in menu and the DLC menu. I am currently working on the sign-in menu links, signing the people in. To do this I have made the number buttons so when the player clicks on the number it will sign the player in.

11.44 am Just started my credits for my HCI. Nearly finished. All I have to do is create some text to scroll up the screen, I will have a button that will return the player back to the main menu. If I have enough time, I will put more into my new game menu, by having the option to change gender, hair colour, eye colour, and redo the races, as it is still no perfect.

11.56am Near the end of the lesson, so I've started to create the different colour hair, if I have time, I will try to put them in, if not, I will leave it the way it is, but I will still try to make the program match up, so the dwarf can change hair without saying human same for the elf. I know how I am going to do this, I will copy the frames that have the different hair, but change the programming so it links up better than it does now. The credits are coming alone, I only need to make up names and positions, or I might leave it out, it is not a major part of my HCI, we'll see. ^_^

Unit 73 HCI

Yo!

4 weeks left for college, only three weeks of work left to do. Today I plan to finish my new game screen.

9.08am starting on my HCI. My new game screen is becoming very hard, so I might make a few things changable so I don't spend more time making it harder.

10.19am finished a smaller version of my new game menum you can change hair stlyes and races now. I've started to create the options menu. I've made the difficulty, by using buttons to go to another screen with a different type, there is casual, normal and hard to choose from.

11.50 am Manage to finish the menu, now I am starting on the other potions menus. I finished audio and now an working on visual menu. I've added a slider bar on some of my options, but they are not available to move at the moment, I have only five menus left and I am currently on 175 frames.

12.00 pm Finished the visual menu and audio now I will start the control menu.

Unit 73 HCI Week 2 Development stage

Yo!

Hopefully today I will finish all the HCI backgrounds. I will start to finish the start screen and start on the menu screen.

9.00 am started my shield and sword background. Got the base colour

9.52 am, finished the lion on the shield!

10.30 Finished the shield ! All I did was make a lighter shade of the grey and a darker grey. Then I painted on where I wanted them, before smudging the colours to blend. This technique I have done on all the shading for all the images.

10.34 am Flipped the sword to make a cross. I duplicated the sword's layers, before merging into one, then I ctrl + T to transform, before right clicking the mouse and selecting flip to horizontal to make the sword flip.

10.45 am started in Flash.

10.57 am Starting to make screen two of my Flash HCI. Finish screen one on Flash, need to make the button work, but apart from that it works.

11.222 am finished my menu screen. What I did was get my sword from sword and shield, copy it to a new document. Scaled it to make it smaller, and turned it on a angle to represent the sword being planted into the ground. I did a rough sketch of all the ground. Recoloured the sword blade, coloured the ground in, before using the grass paintbrush to paint on some grass, then I did a gradient blue for the sky. I smudged some dirt onto the blade, before creating some blood for the blade.

11.34 am. Back on Flash.........and Flash crash!!!!!! try again. Now I am working on Flash, The button is making the sound, but I can't get it to move onto the next screen.

I have finished the main backgrounds for my HCI, all the other backgrounds are simple, and will not take too much time to create.

Me Blogging!!!!!!!!
