Introduction

Hey all, and welcome to my blog. I'm Iain Walsh, and I'm a third year Computer and Video Games student at the University of Salford.  On this blog I'll be talking about games, how my group game is going (Fletch: Dawn of the Golden Eagle) and how I'm generally getting on both in the course and with life.

To start with, let's talk about Fletch: Dawn of the Golden Eagle. This is a 3D Platformer that my team, Three Stage Studios, are working on. Powered by Unity, it follows the adventures of a janitor ferret named Fletch, who must embark on a mission to retrieve his stolen comrades before the evil golden eagle, Klauss, can take over the world! Fletch can take full advantage of three suits which can be used to overcome certain obstacles. A platform too far away to jump to? Use the agility suit? A tough enemy beating you up? Use the combat suit. Need to sneak past the guards? Use the stealth suit. Each suit comes with it's own strengths and weaknesses meaning the player has to plan out in advance about what they're going to do.
