Sprint 1.0

Hola!

Welcome to our first devlog! We aren't super sure what to put in these devlogs just yet. What we do know is that we want to keep everyone updated on the status of our projects by posting every now and then.

Currently, TupperWar(Working title) is being actively worked on.

What is Tupper War any way? 

Tupper war is a large number of this. From testing how the team works under the current environment (covid), along with working together. Everyone on the team is extremely talented and we know that we can build an amazing game. Currently, the game is planned out as a rogue-like space shooter(That rolls off the tounge nicely). We were heavily inspired by an older Atari game called Defender. Along with rogue-like elements from titles like The Binding of Issac, Risk of Rain 2, And Enter the Gungeon.

Why defender? 

The suggestion actually came from my dad a couple of years back. He excitingly one day reminisced about the older games he used to play when he was younger. He mentioned defender and then showed me a video with some game-play. He then said, "If there's anything you should remake, it should be defender!" I(Jordan Harris) remembered to keep it in my mental notes for when a new project kind of freed up/presented itself.  If I was to even start working on something like this I would need some reliable team members to help.

More info!

This first upload is a very small file because there really isn't a lot going on with it. We are building the framework for the rest of the game to be developed on top of. Our team is also an amalgamation of people with their own schedules going on.

One of the way we are solving this is by using an agile development style. We will be focusing on certain areas of development each sprint and release the game in whatever state its in at the end of the sprint. 

Q: What does this mean for you? 

A: This means that you(the player) will be getting constant updates about the game and its progression. Along with a new patch to play with at the end of that sprint.

We have a lot planned for this project but nothing that is out of reach that we would need more people than we currently have on the team. We are planning to add:

• Enemies (Technically the big wall in the middle of the map is an enemy)
• Screen UI (Targeted for sprint 2)
• Main Menu (Targeted  for sprint 3)
• Boss battles (Targeted for sprint 3)
• Shops (Targeted for sprint 3)
• And many more features that we will annouce as they get worked on

Thanks so much for reading to the end of the post. We will be having technical patch notes for new uploads along with general devlogs like this one!
