Last post

The presentations for the project have been held and the only thing left to do is to deliver the final report. The whole afternoon was used for the presentation. It felt a bit tiresome, but it was interesting to see what the others had been doing for their projects.

This will be the last post for this blog and I will end it by saying thanks to all who have read my writings. It has been a both fun and sometimes difficult project, but I have a learned a lot of useful things that I will carry with me and use in future projects.

Presentations finished

The PowerPoint presentations for the project have been completed and the presentation itself will be held on wednesday. The only thing left to finish is the final project report, but the deadline for that is a few days after the presentations. However, I and Simon aims to have it finished the same day as the presentations. So far it looks like we’ll manage that.

Then there is another presentation day about a week later. There a few thing that needs to be done for that presentation. We have already made some information and pictures for a folder, but most our work right now is focused on the first presentation day.

Nearing the end

The project is nearing its end and work have begun on the final report. The design documents for the 2 final game ideas are pretty much complete and a playtest was held yersterday. The work left, besides the final report, is to summarize all playtests and draw some conclusions from that, and of course make presentations of the whole project.

Another flash prototype

Our other prototype for our game idea Troglodyte Mania, we decided to do in flash. The reason for this was that we could see it as a smaller game in flash and we already have some knowledge of how to work with the program, since we already have ceated a flash prototype for our first selected game idea. The few images that will be in the prototype we will make in photoshop. It will not look pretty, but that doesn’t matter since it’s only a prototype. We have only a few days to make the prototype so it will probably not have all the functionalites we want, and it will probably also have a number of bugs, but hopefully it will suffice to test if the idea works and if it has any fun value.

Second game selected for prototyping

This week we have started to work with prototypes for the second of our final ideas. We are going to make 2 different prototypes for this game too, as we did with our first final idea. Simon has written more about the actual process, so head over to Simon’s blog if you want to read more about it.
