Progress updates January 19

Our team has started a bit slow but this last week all of us worked like crazy horses! 🙂

Here are our weekly updates:

 

Cristian:

– started creating controls for TS Demo Humanoid:

– created joysticks using new Unity 4.6 UI

– added left-right functionality on TS Demo Car android build

– r&d for android controls using the new 4.6 UI

– created TS Demo Humanoid android build (single player) with touch controls ( work in progress)

Found Issues:
– android build crashes when using photon (search if DFVoice or Photon itself crashes)
– Photon is theoretically compatible with android builds when using Unity Pro ( as an alternative – Photon Unity Networking PLUS (PUN+))
– Play Store does not submit .apk file greater than 50 MB:
– Split Application Binary – This automatically splits up your build in a way that can be submitted to the store by creating an .APK and an .OBB file.

– APK Expansion Files – can be up to 2 Gigabytes and should contain the graphics / video / storage expensive stuff

– make Location smaller/optimized (current android build is @190MB)

 

Bogdan:

• optimized the free early access registration process architecture (graphical design by Cornel Harsan, texts by Paul Manea)
• implemented the client side part of the free early access registration (XHTML, CSS and jQuery)

• implemented the server side part of the free early access registration, including the sending of confirmation e-mails (uses PHP, Smarty and MySQL)

• polished the back-end interface (using ExtJS)

Alex:

– tested the new material editor in Unity 5

– I used the diffuse map,normal map ,heightmap, specular map, reflection probes to make a cube feel like it has geometry

– All the traffic lights in Times Square are now changing color and synchronized to each other

– The cars are now responsive to traffic lights and also react to pedestrians trying to avoid a crash.
