1.Went to EFSD last Monday. Find a lot useful information which we don’t realized before but critically important. For example, kids in 5th grade is capable of calculating quite hard equation, but not able to build the equation by themselves without pen and paper. Based on this, our design changed to build the equation all the time for them.
2.Create several visual effect to enhance the experience of game.
His plan for next week
1.Keep doing VFX stuff, there are several needed for different event and level change such as when the math is done correct or not.
2.Help Allyn to finish the first prototype on SmallLab integration. The 1st prototype is 90% done but not tested on SmallLab yet.
