On wednesday we met very early before the lab and constructed our lo-fi prototype. We recognized so many details and discussed a lot. On friday, Joao and Francisco arranged a meeting with some representatives of our focus group, and tested the prototype. I started to work on the tech prototype, which can be found here. I began with showing a screen of how a neighbourhood could look like by night, added some animated fog (well it's just a alpha transparency texture that is moving horizontally) and some atmospheric background music. The others will continue and add a moving, controllable character to it.

Development Cycle and Workshop

Hello! We have done our workshop this week with our lovely focus group and we had very good results from it: we were able to remove some game ideas that weren't needed and didn't make sense for our fast gameplay. We want the players to play for fun and not make them "backtrack" too much in our game. Furthermore, we have a lot of new ideas that ressurged from this workshop such as the whistle item, which you can use to call a pet of yours! And you'll be able to choose between different pets eventually as well! They're there to help you with your tasks! You'll see :) Our deliverable, which includes our updated design documents and our workshop report, is turned in and we're ready for the next one: the prototypes ! Will you help us? Contact me at joao.meira@tecnico.ulisboa.pt or in facebook if you want to participate in our player feedback workshop! As always, stay tuned! 😄 ~evoll~

Working On The Idea

Last week we had many ideas and finally chose one. In this week's lab we talked more about our idea in detail for the first time. We realized that our visions converged quite a bit, and this led to discussions, also with the professor. Without going into the details of the concept here, my view on our game idea was that the player has to deal with the villagers (npcs) for multiple days and nights. During this time he gets to know their personalities, and learns about their preferences and interests. Like this he can make them happy during the dialogues, and so he is finally able to cure them during the night. the player character is not strong enough to defeat / weaken an angry / aggressive and therefore strong villager (in his monster transformation) during the night! Therefore the player has to survive multiple nights, and has to progress quickly during the daytime. This also opens new possibilities for the nighttime gameplay: the player has to hide and run away from strong mo...

READY!

We are officially ready for the MOJO, which is happening in a few hours! We wanted to have implemented some more features, such as the sounds and the whistle action, but unfortunately we did not have time. However, the game seems to be pretty fun to play and people that we are showing this and letting them play actually like it! Let's go! See you tomorrow @MOJO! ~ evoll ~
