What’s this? An easter egg?
If you find ten of these in the game something good will happen. Maybe.
Happy Easter!

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010Story and dolls
Wednesday, March 24th, 2010Last summer it was decided that ilo and milo needed some kind of story. But how would it be presented? The initial idea was to have kids drawings, but that felt somehow like it had been done a lot of times before. So I came up with the idea of presenting it through photographs of stuffed ilo and milo dolls. We contacted Margaretas Dockskåp here in Malmö. They agreed to make the dolls.

Newly born ilomilos, on their way to the office!
Finally home!
We printed out big pictures of backgrounds and props on some nice glossy paper, to create a little stage for our photos.
Working hard, hardly working

Final story picture. This looks shopped…
Fabric-ilo prototype (hence the weird colors) to get the shapes right. The legs are a bit to big…

What’s going on?
Friday, March 12th, 2010Ok, been slacking with this blog for a little too long, so let’s do a round-up of what’s happening in the project!
Right now we are working on a number of different things.
Martin is as usual busy creating (mind bending) levels.
Johan has finished some camerascripting, co-op stuff and is now working on touching up menus – fixing transitions, making animations for icons and stuff like that.
Björn coded behaviour for a new creature and a new placeable cube. He’s currently working on system to log data from user tests and system for unlockable secret stuff (and one of those secret things is awesome. Will return for more info when time is ready).
Carl is working on set dressing the levels – Placing and animating props.
Daniel have done a lot of new sounds – voices for creatures, storysounds, menu blips and blops. He’s also composed songs for the tutorial puzzles the story.
… And I (Simon) have been creating co-op specific assets, fixing and touching up the last menu assets, writing texts (manuals and boring stuff like that) working on the story sequences, and getting in some cameos from other games in to our game (more on that topic later…).
Fredrik and Kim are visiting GDC to talk with people and do some ilomilopimping.
Also! Some links! Clicky clicky!
1up has a preview on ilomilo! (… one thing though: the video is showing an unfinished level with no props whatsoever)
Swedish community loading.se has got some exclusive ilomilo screenshots!
Alright then, See you later.
