Time for another weekly update! Looks like we had another busy week working on all sorts of aspects of the game.

Bryan - This week I’ve been doing a polish and FX pass on the game’s final cutscene. This is the phase where I add any special effects like particle systems and tweak minor things like camera and character placement to get the scenes feeling just right. It’s pretty tedious to replay the same cutscene over and over to test each incremental change, but it’s definitely worth the effort!

Lauren - This week I’ve been making short videos for our Tiktok and Youtube channels and finding more ways to share the good word of Cosmo out into the interwebs! The videos were super fun to make, and I hope you enjoy watching them! I chose to focus the video content on alien lore this week because we have such a wide variety of backstories and quirks for each customer you meet at Cosmo’s Quickstop!

Erin - Our team’s focus is changing to getting the multiplayer campaign done, so my focus is now on new mini-cutscene animations! We already had a start-of-game animation done for Morvin, but we needed one for his grill robot buddy, Morv-o. Things are clearly going well with that as you can see below. This was a test to see whether we could get some simple squash and stretch working without needing to do more complicated Unity magic. I think you can make your own assumptions on whether the test was successful.

Ian - I wear a lot of hats on this project. This week I was diving back into my role of producer. I met up with our audio folks and started doing an audit of the ingame sound. This involves finding sounds that have been made but not implemented, finding sounds that might not be the latest versions, finding sounds we feel the game still needs, and tweaking the final mixing. As I am not an audio person myself, my role here is just to make it as easy as possible for them to do their job by providing them with as much information, transparency, and insider knowledge about where everything is at. Here is a little sample of the current spreadsheet we are working on.

And that's that. Tune in next week to see what we are working on next!
