Newsletter 9 ( week10 )

This week our team has crossed the halfway point in our project and have presented our previous findings to our faculty and received very positive feedback. Our great results have reinvigorated our team’s passion and drive for our project which will is essential in helping us maintain our high quality throughout the game.

And on that note, team Daedalus is ready to release the cast and set for level 2 of picoCTF 2014. Level 2 is a police station and is designed to be a transition stage, where players would have many of the story questions answered by breaking into protected data, and uncovering the truth behind his father and the evil Daedalus Corp. Once all the questions have been answered, we will build up to the climatic level 3 where players get to face Daedalus and its deadly weapon.

To save up on in game resources we used police officers with a very similar in game character so hefty animation sheets do not have to be redrawn 3 times over, but when players interact with the police officers, they will notice that there is diversity in them.

And of course, lets not forget the 2 police officers from level 1, Steven and Lisa, both high ranking police officers. Steven is the influential and wise police captain and Lisa, his trusted Sergeant with a strong personality.
