20 days before MOJO

Hello! Tomorrow is the class before the design documents delivery. We have already delivered the documents and tomorrow we will confirm everything is fine with the professor.

Furthermore, the game development keeps being done and everything is being enhanced. We were able to fix all collisions in the game, as well as add other elements to the game that help giving the player more feedback about his game status. Furthermore, we have already a draft of the background map, which we're going to use from now on due to other elements calculation.

Next big steps are introducing ALL static elements to the map (still need to have this, but use placeholders), adding game-level organization and progression (waves of monsters, stronger monsters, new monsters) and adding monster sight / monster awareness / monster attacks.

About what we still need from designers:
Designs: the 4 perspectives of the monsters (normal and angry), static elements on map, finished map, solving the daylight problem
Fine-tuned designs we still don't have: animating the player drawing weapon, animating player walking, animating monsters walking

Thank you for reading

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...

1st Cycle - 2nd Week

Hello again! This week, we started working on the project document for the first cycle. This wednesday, 06/03/2019, we shall discuss our progress with Professor Carlos Martinho, apply corrections to the document and continue to work on it. We have defined our game concept (and title), core experience, first tweet (elevator pitch), domain research, focus group, some play scenarios and the core gameplay loop. We'll start defining player personas after we gather some more people for the focus group! As of right now, the focus group has 2 members already (they fit in the target audience and they are available to give their opinions throughout the semester) and they have already commented on our game idea/concept, so that we could understand what they like and dislike about it. We have also updated our game concept in light of these comments, but we are still thinking a lot about whether these changes should happen or not. Stay tuned for more news! ~ evoll ~
