We hit the ground running this week because on Monday was Softs and half of our team had been out last week for TEA Summit. We had the animation that was 90% complete, so it was great to be able to show faculty what it will mostly look like.
We got a lot of great feedback on what we need to do to prepare for our final installation, which we are planning for next week. Some of the feedback we got included making Button’s eyes more expressive, using the volunteer to set the mood of the experience, and to add more shading to the background to make it look 3D. Our biggest concern now is that we will not have enough time to install it, or that parts that we are ordering will not arrive on time. We put in our final requests for ordering and travel and will learn more about it next week.
We began working with subtitles and playing around with how they look. We decided to go with a rounded font, with a light white border, and a light blue text. We chose blue because it contrasts and stands out against Buttons. We also improved on ways to skip from chapter to chapter without the scene flashing so that it flows better. Lastly, we worked on the background which we think is almost complete.
Next week we are going to be preparing for installation, archiving, doing volunteer documentation, and creating our finals PowerPoint.
