This week we mainly focus on changing our long narrative ideas into short experience.  We have two ideas right now, one is modern life style and the other is medieval legend style. All the media archives are done. We also get preparation for quarters.

 PROGRESS

 Brainstorm

After we discussed our ideas for the game with advisers, we realized that what we came up with were long narratives and somehow unrealistic which might not be able to give the players a quick impact and encourage them to empathize with the patients. However, the client still would like to see some dramatic elements because it is a game and it needs to be fun. According to these requirements, we did the brainstorm again and this time we tried to make it more like a daily life experience but still have some incidents or situations that may not happen very often to ordinary people.

Now we have two new ideas. One of them is kind of modern daily life stuff while the other one is under a medieval background. We will review these two ideas with advisers and client again. We also would like to hear feedbacks from other faculties during Quarters.

Production Stuff

Logo, Poster, Half-sheet, Description

Artists have done an awesome job with the logo, poster and half-sheet. During the critique session, we received valuable suggestions from both faculties and students which help us make the production stuff better.

Website

The design and structure of the website is almost done by this week. We will continue update the website with our latest progress.

Prototype

Programmers have finished the two prototypes and showed them to the advisers. We achieved the effect of color blind and double vision with Oculus Rift dk2. With the prototype, we already started to learn the painful experience of the patients. Faculties would be free to play our prototypes during Quarters as they want.

Research

Prism

The prism set has been delivered by this week. We tried different approaches to use the prisms, and we also asked our client about the right way to wear the prisms. Once we got the introduction from the client we would be able to see the world with double vision.

More information from client & ourselves

While doing brainstorm, we did more researches of the symptoms. For example, we learned that Migraine auras just happens randomly but not always and people who has color blind won’t meets with many difficulties in their daily life.

Preparation for Quarters

We have made detailed schedule for Quarters. Ideas and prototypes are in progress. Besides, we’ve made the outline for the slides.

PROSPECT

We will show our refined new ideas to the client and advisers by Monday to get their feedbacks. It would be the last chance for us to make small changes to the ideas before Quarters. The slides will be done by next Monday. Then we will have two or three rehearsals internally or to our advisers.

We also planned to meet several faculties after Quarters in order to talk with them in depth into the ideas.
