This week we have started working on the combat mechanics and the concepts that we have in mind.
Combat mechanics include
– Aim and shoot from anywhere
– Aim and shoot by putting the phone in the location of ship in the AR space
– Shooting by moving turrets
Movement mechanics include
– Flicking the ship and moving in the direction its facing in the AR Space
– Physically moving the ship in the space by getting the phone close to the virtual object
– Flying the ship like a pilot in virtual space
We aim to create these prototypes and playtest them the next week with students around the ETC so that we can learn more about these prototypes.
While doing these, we also are working on the networking backened to create a basic framework so that we can integrate and create an experience that is closely tied.
We have some challenges with syncing the AR space across devices, but we have a few ideas and we’ll be working around those
We are also working on the branding for the team, including logo, poster and the team photo.
Joke of the week!
