More Animations

Over the past two weeks I have been working on the animations for the game so now the dog goes for a bath and eats his food properly (Timing was out) as well as other things. The dog now navigates through the different animations.

My job in the final presentation was to show off the game for the audience. I was pleased with the progress that we had made to this point but I was hoping we would have been further along with more functionality implemented. Our feedback was mixed. People thought the dog was cute, but we had it pooing too often so many people were more busy laughing at the trail of poo than paying much notice to the game itself. Reducing the pooing was the first thing that I fixed after the presentation. Seeing the ball moving on screen and seeing the dog walk around were both really rewarding, it made the game feel like it had life. Unfortunately the mini-game was not re-skinned in time which was a real set back. The other major feedback we got was the need to keep polishing the visuals.
