The Prologue

Edward Edward "Bill" Wilson
Much of the work up until now has been divided into three categories:  research into the history of Antarctic exploration in the early 1900s, testing out various gameplay mechanics, and coding.   I recently switched programming languages, which has afforded me more flexibility.  Development has become a lot easier now that I've made it more database driven.

Work on the Prologue for Heroes of the Antarctic is in full swing.  The Prologue acts as both a demo/prototype of the game and a way to experiment with gameplay mechanics while I write the script for the full game.   Many of the graphics are placeholders and will be replaced.  The user interface, in particular, is likely to receive a major change that isn't as pixelated.

I had fun making the faces, although I will need to rework them to match the photos I have for the various crew members.

Added:

People:
  1. First face images created for Shackleton, Scott, and Wilson.
  2. There are additional images of the various expressions they have too (angry, surprised, sick, happy, etc).
  3. Created movement sprites for my initial characters.
  4. Added several face and tile sprites.

Maps:
  1. Map 01 and 02 were created and some nice details were added, although it's hard to add details when your entire environment is snow and ice! 
  2. Where possible I'm going to have to work on a set of textures to give the Antarctic more visual depth.  The maps are mostly comprised of various scripts and events right now because they start the game off. 

Dialogue & Mission:
  1. I have added the first few lines of an early plot element.
  2. I added supplementary text (journals etc.) too.

Misc:
  1. I've created various mini-scripts (a sleeping system, for example) and some minor details.
