All in the details

It was a busy weekend for team Growl.  The countdown is on for the debut of our Hydropic Project and we’re concentrating on all aspects right down to the marketing….or the lack of.  So to get us started we stepped out of the box and decided to combine two great things people love.  Unconventional marketing and cookies!

That’s right, fish shaped sugar cookies decorated in blue homemade frosting.   Keep an eye open because they could be showing up in a lobby near you.

In addition to all this awesomeness we now have the coolest frame to a three walled projection screen NMTP has ever EVER seen on this side of the Mississippi.  Lets watch from start to end.

First we got a plan….

Then we assemble the parts

That all came out of Neon.  Just try to imagine, halarious!

We fallow the plans almost to a t.

Well I hope you liked it come back to view more of what we’ve been up to.

Good Night

We have stopped progressing…only not really :P

It’s been a rough few weeks for Team Growl, while the looming deadline of ImagineRIT is coming soon, there is also much work to be done to secure plans for after graduation. However, that has not stopped out Team from accomplishing great work!

A major part of our project is the physical aspect to it, without the proper screens and controlling devices to support our idea the overall atmosphere of the game might not be realized. This is a picture of Nycole with a screen.

Note the bubble print skirt. That’s called attention to detail, kids.

The designers did things too. Here are some comps.

Cool right?!

Totally badass? You bet.

We’re made of win.

The developers have done stuff too! Development in XNA has had it’s learning curve but overall has been not bad, and even kinda fun!

Stay tuned for branding and more actual code talk.

Coming down to the final month, there is still a lot to do, but so far all looks to be in place to reach the ImagineRIT deadline!
