RE: [pigeoncide-devel] Problems with the graphics, and others...

[Sari Sariola]

Hi,

I guess that mistake was a wrong choise of words but as I said i don't really even know what the problem is :)

I can obviously do the 2d drawings of menus and such, I just paniced a bit(sorry...) as it seemed you needed all this stuff before Marc is back online(which was the 5th of jan if I remember correctly?) and as we are moving on the 3rd. As the place we are moving to hasen't been lived in for two years you can imagine the state it's in so we have to renovate like crazy still before that. But if it's ok for you to get the menus and such after the vacation, maybe latest around the 15th?, I can totally do them. I'll just need the info about what the menu's and such will need to have in them to get it done. I have also done some sketches of the levels before and we have talked abou it a bit with Katri so I think she'll be able to do it if she can just find the time. One of our classmates also promised we can use his ready made game models for clutter if we need them on the clouds so I don't think we need more than the cloud itself? It sucks that we never got around to going through this before the vacation, it would all be so much easier now :p

I have two different e-mails for both Katri(address@hidden or address@hidden) and Ville(address@hidden or address@hidden) and have no idea which one they use at the moment so you'd probably be best off by mailing to both.

I have no idea what Marc has even done so I don't have no way of correcting any possible mistakes there are.The reason you haven't heard of me in ages is that I've had nothing to do with the project except for Marc mentioning to me every few weeks that he has done something for it. Katri from our class was supposed to do something about the level design but I have no idea if anyone has told her what to do as we kept talking that we should talk about it after class some day but we never got around to it. I can try contacting her or Ville but the thing is I have no idea if either of them will even answer as they are both on holiday as am I and don't think any of ous realised that you guys would need something for it now. Am also moving in less than a week so there is no way I can do anything for the game at least for the next couple of weeks.
