The week leading up to the alpha:

Last week, I outlined my goals for the upcoming alpha. Since then I've changed my goals for the alpha. This came as a result of other assignments and projects taking up more time than I suspected. So what has changed then? Firstly - the game modes. The Obstacle Course game mode won't be playable in the alpha and is instead being replaced by Football. I wasn't happy with any layouts I have for the Obstacle Course and on top of that there were some pretty major problems I was having with the functionality. I opted to switch out the obstacle course for Football because I want to see how players react to a more open area and form of movement while trying to complete a task. The game mode select and tutorial level won't be available to players for the alpha also. The game mode select does work but I haven't had proper time to test it out.

Is it alpha ready?:

I certainly hope so...
