Dev Log: Production

 Development continues on Lia's Library. We had a new teammate come onboard, Robin. It is great to have a new member and he has taken on the roll of sound lead on the project. This freed up some work on Valdirk so he can focus more on UX.  I have been continuing to act as producer for the team and we have found a good rhythm. Each week we reprioritizes the backlog and complete user stories. The first level is coming along well and we are nearly complete it, although I think the team knows it can do with some more polish. We have fallen a little behind on level 2 but the LDD and concept art are nearly complete. LDD just needs a couple more sections fleshing out the quest path and concept art just need a pass of corrupter plants. As for the art end I worked on the concept art for level 1 and 2. As well as completed the tile-map for level 1. Ben handled the set up of the tile-map placement in game and did a great job making the level look pretty. As I was familiar with tile-map creation it was pretty simple to create and I did not face a lot of hurdles apart from the amount of art needed. I wanted to complete the tile-map for the whole game in 2 sprints but other assignments and obligations got in the way of completing the tile-maps and concepts. Tile-maps for Level 2 will be coming up next for me and tile-map 3 will likely have a lot of reuse of tile-map 1 so I should be okay for time. I also completed Lia's animations for the first playtest. As an art lead I also gave feedback to Ben on some of the art he created for the project. He worked on our professor concept art and sprite. Very little notes were needed in the concept phase and when it came to the pixel art sprite minor tweeks and adjustments were needed to match style and fit in a couple details he wanted to make work. 
Here is some of the art. 

^Concepts for level 1

^Animations for Virus points, this developed a little bit to be able to pulse to indicate direction of the eye to players. Val is a badass and implemented that so quick.

^Concepts for Level 2

^The tile map additions

^Lia animations

^Revisions on Ladyora (our Professor) mine is on the left Ben's is on the right, minor style changes.
