This week was a short week for Future Tech due to the Labor Day holiday. Nonetheless, the team conducted extensive research about world issues, and discussed the modding tool and process over the course of the week. On Friday, we were finaly able to meet with 2K/Firaxis. They will be giving us creative freedom for the project and asked us to come up with inspirational and innovative ideas about how to keep people engaged in the game and the community while addressing a real world issue. The client will be giving us access to Hansoft, a project management software, which wil definitely help us to streamline and work more efficiently. Furthermore, they mentioned that an updated version of the modding tool wil be released in late October. However, we should continue using the current modding tool that is available, due to possible instability and bug issues with the new tool. Finally, the client does not expect us to deliver a polished product, but Future Tech hopes to exceed their expectations.
In the meantime, we are working hard on branding the project and team through the website, poster, and half sheets. The team will continue to conduct research and brainstorm ideas over the weekend, and discuss the outcome next week.
