Started today with a phone, we talked to Dr. Lee and had a meeting with him.It’s very exciting to talk to him. Basically, we got the concept and direction from him.
At 3:45p.m., we had a team meeting. We try to figure out the structure and the length of our game. And we got some really good website as reference.
We need to do some deep research for conceptualizing easy level(analyst) game mechanic today and discuss it more tomorrow.
Team CSI stands for “Crime Scene Innovation”!!! Alright, finally everyone from the team is on board, not that I am the last one but I felt really bad that I missed lots of mini meetings because my conflict of schedules.
Anyway, first thing first. We had a conference call with Dr. Lee who is kindly to spend his 30 minutes lunch time with us to talked about visions he has. The results are similar to what we address in last week’s meeting (which I wasn’t able to attend). We’ve another meeting with team members this afternoon to go over with everyone’s note and everyone’s research about this project. It had been a very productive day as a team.
Tonight’s assignment, research for “Phone records cross matching technique and etc.”.
Next meeting is at 1pm, thanks for everyone arranging their schedule to match mine. Thanks guys, I’ll re-arrange it too. 🙂
Had a client call and talked to Dr. Lee. Later, we had a schedule and design meeting, decided on a team name, game structure, tentative project timeline and other details. Worked on my transition from 3Ds max to Maya for the project, familiarizing with the interface. For tomorrow, I have to research on DNA pattern matching for conceptualizing easy level(analyst) game mechanic.
Today we spoke with Dr. Lee about his expectations for the project and cleared up many of our questions so that we could get started on designing. Afterward I e-mailed Dr. Lee as we discussed to get contact information for other people at New Haven who would be able to work with us as the project progresses. Later in the afternoon, the team had a schedule and design meeting to discuss core hours, the team name, our direction and goals over these next few weeks, and a tentative schedule for the entire semester.
My official work was
List of action items performed today:
Today I finished setting up the Team Blog so that we can begin recording Dailies. The pages (Project, Team, Client) of the site will be completed over the next week and a half. At noon we had a conference call with Dr. Lee to discuss the objectives of the project. Later in the afternoon we had a design meeting and discussed the structure of our games, project schedule, and assigned some research to determine game topics.
Tomorrow we will determine what topics will be used for the matching game(s) and advanced the designs for them.
Today, the team hosted a conference call with Dr. Henry Lee. He clarified the goals and expectations of the project. The decision was made to omit the synthetic interview portion to allow for more focus on game development. We expect there will be somewhere between 3 to 5 mini-games that will exist on 2 to 3 physical platforms! More to come following a team “design” meeting this afternoon!
