Week 9 (Mar. 16th – Mar. 20th)
This week:
On Weekend Before:
Before returning back to Pittsburgh from GDC, our team traveled to New York City to meet with our client and visit Washington Square Park. By visiting the park we will able to gain a better understanding of the park and its atmosphere. We also collected the following data…
Pictures at every location (intersections, statues, playgrounds, etc)
Signal Strength throughout the park
How long it takes to walk/jog from one location to another
Finding an idea location (around the Garibaldi statue)
On Monday + Tuesday
Although wanting to jump into creating a digital prototype, after returning to Pittsburgh we had to concentrate towards our Halves Presentation on Wednesday.
For this presentation, we decided to tackle using a new method where we had 1 person dedicated to become the director and overlook the entire presentation, and another person dedicated to making the presentation slides visually pleasing. By taking off the burden of presenting, the 2 were able to focus on their tasks while the rest focused on delivering our presentation. This method was quite effective in the limited time we had. By not having everyone have to use up their time solidifying the flow of the presentation, we were able to look at a key person for direction when needed.
On Wednesday
Our team delivered our Halves presentation. We were able to translate our struggles and our goals that is ahead of us.
Because of the Halves, and meeting our client only a few days earlier, we have decided to cancel this weeks client meeting.
On Friday
At our Advisor Meeting we shared our progress and updates, and received some of the feedback from the faculty. After discussing our current progress, we were recommended to think about the game and possibly add an extra layer to our experience.
Towards the end of the day, we were able to design an extra layer that we are considering of further exploring and seeing its potential.
NEXT WEEK(s):
We are fired up and running head straight towards with creating a digital prototype for the ETC play test happening on March 28th.
