“If at first the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it”
-Albert Einstein
This week was all about deciding about what type of game we would want to make. After meeting with our client, we narrowed down our ideas to strategy games. We would be starting off with the idea of making a strategy game.
Our programmers are currently exploring the Metaio SDK and the Vuforia SDK that we plan to use for our project. They established the 3D tracking of the object using the Metaio SDK which works pretty decent. The other SDK – Vuforia works well for tracking 2D images. They are also working on making some Tech demos that we would be showing our client/advisors in the tomorrow’s (Tuesday’s) meeting.
On the other hand, Shashank, Bo and Roma are working on the game design ideas and trying to give variations to different strategy games. We would be working on the paper prototype today to get a clear picture on what we plan to do. On the parallel side, Bo is also working on getting all the branding material together. We also entered into the Epson’s Moverio Glass Competition last week. We are waiting on the results to be announced later this week to move on the next round.
By this week, we would be giving more variations to the ideas that we have and are going to discuss with our advisors and get feedback over it.
As per schedule, we would be giving gameplay ideas, showing some demos to our advisors Carl and Stone tomorrow, and get some more detailed feedback over it, and the team would then iterate over those ideas.
Next week is going to be more focused on rapid prototyping where the team would be concentrating on getting prototypes done for a few ideas that we have.
