We began our journey this week! Our first client meeting happened, and the idea for the game ended up being COMPLETELY different than our previous thoughts. We actually came prepared to talk about ideas but they are all useless now...But that's okay. We really focused on brainstorming to think of new game design ideas/concepts for the game vision. Literally, we are planning on streaming video as the main scene instead of a static 2d image. This changes the gameplay style a lot.
So far, we've come up with 3 different games modes, each with a different feeling. 2 are cooperation based experiences and the 3rd is competitive. Competition isn't usually ever done for hidden object games so this will certainly be an experience for us.
Also, we've determined our roles. Jack - Programmer/UI Dev, Chiu - Programming/Server Manager, Sam - Lead Programmer/Tool creator, Tim - Game Designer/External Producer, Jake - Game Designer/Internal Producer
Next week we'll be presenting our game ideas so hopefully it goes well!
