This is the week before halves, and so our focus for this week is to polish enough things to cut together for a little demo reel at the beginning of the presentation.
You may have noticed two new things in there. The first is this new interaction, chopping wood!
This action uses the crank in a different way then we’ve done it for our previous interactions. For this, you move the crank forward in a sharp, quick motion. If you don’t go fast enough, you don’t chop through the wood. Also, the axe can get “stuck” if you don’t pull it out hard enough.
We’ve shown these before, but here are the more polished demos of our other interactions, that we included in the demo and our Halves presentation:
And we have some new character portraits! A frog, and our Messenger Bird!
Anyways, that’s all I have for this week. Things are coming along!
