Team Vex:<\/p>\n
Before break we split up the task of researching the different possibilities, we were considering for our project.<\/p>\n
Giang \u2013 was tasked with researching Portal 2 level creation as an option<\/p>\n
Cory \u2013 was\u00a0tasked with researching Garry’s Mod level creation as an option<\/p>\n
Jacob – followed up on the research to create a fully custom game<\/p>\n
Accomplishments:<\/p>\n
Due to existing commitments, the time left in the semester, and a desire to complete the project on time we decided to prototype a few levels in the Portal 2 level creator that would test the game concept and then to move on to create a full\u00a0Garry\u2019s Mod Gamemode using custom scripts.<\/p>\n
Giang was unable to research Portal 2 level creation as the level editor requires the game. Jacob downloaded the level editor and made an example game.<\/p>\n
Problems:<\/p>\n
Are we still on schedule?\u00a0Yes. The project is still on schedule.<\/p>\n
Garry’s Mod may not actually allow the portals to be transparent.<\/p>\n

Revisions from plan from March 14th:<\/p>\n
At this point, it seems unlikely that we will complete a fully custom game, but considering the fact that I already completed a Portal 2 level, there may be some hope.<\/p>\n
Weekly Plans:<\/p>\n
4\/4: Team members spend time learning to create Portal maps and
\nfamiliarizing themselves with Garry\u2019s Mod Gamemodes. The latter involves
\nlearning Lua.<\/p>\n
4\/11: Set up a basic Gamemode with the correct rules. Set up Oculus Rift
\ncompatibility.<\/p>\n
4\/18: Work on including portals into the Gamemode.<\/p>\n
4\/25: Finish working on portals. Design and include different maps for the
\ngame.<\/p>\n
5\/2: Finishing touches on the game.<\/p>\n
5\/9:<\/p>\n
Contingency plans:<\/p>\n
We already finished a Portal 2 level, so just turning that in would be a contingency plan. Ultimately, we can pivot to any interesting game on the Garry’s Mod platform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
