Producer Blog #5

Hello, and welcome to the fifth producer blog of Robot Riot! My name is Miciah Coley and I am excited to share all of the hard work my team has put in throughout the sprint. Robot Riot has 14 members and our design of the game came from our game designer, Marisa Moreno. If you want to learn more about what went into our design process you are welcome to take a look here. 

Robot Riot is a competitive battle royale game in which you will face off against another player, collecting various weapons and powers ups to fight them in battle and win. The game takes place in the main facility of Atonal Industries, a robot manufacturer that also specializes in quirky weaponry props. Players will square off against each other in a best of three lives on four different levels to determine who is the best robot. 

With our vision out of the way. Let’s talk about the work that was completed during the sprint.

Modeling

Our goal this sprint was just adding in models throughout all of the levels just to add more depth to each of the levels. We also wanted to get more props to fit the West theme of being Western. So let’s take a look at some of the hard work from my team:
