Devlog 07: Pre-Production
This week, the group agreed to have a short half hour meeting, just to get a refresher of where we're at. During this meeting the Trello was reviewed and updated to reflect what we had to do that week. This was super helpful to get us all on the same page and have a plan for the week. We clarified meeting times, as they had changed from last semester, and between group members planned to have smaller meetings for tasks that needed to be completed together. We also decided that since the voicelines were written with the understanding that an AI talks to the player regarding bunker functions as well as the bunker owner having lines, that we would hold tryouts to find someone to voice the bunker owner, and I would voice the AI.
Yesterday I got started on the footstep sound effects, as well as testing some filters for the AI voice. I set myself up to have an easier time with the sound. Last semester and over break, whenever I heard something I liked, I would pull out my phone and record it. So for footsteps, I had a video of myself walking on salt covered pavement and me poking at a bit of frost that had formed on a tupperware sitting in the back of my fridge. The tupperware was used for the cold region's footstep sounds, and the salt covered pavement was used for the neutral region's footstep sounds. For the hot region, anything, between the two recordings that sounded a bit harder (less like snow or gravel and more like walking on stone), was clipped.
For the AI voice I recorded myself saying the phrases written on our "Lore Points" document. One thing I noticed is that there were blanks lefts where numbers should go. I believe that those numbers are in the GDD. I took a quick look to see how many resources are in the bunker when the player enters it for the first time, and couldn't find that information. Talking about, and making sure all these numbers are filled in will need to be discussed when we meet after class today. I need these values filled in before I can complete the AI voice lines, and it's a task that is supposed to be completed this week. I want to stay on top of things so hopefully this can be cleared up when we meet.
