Goodtimes...... J is all well, good and out of hospitol.
We had our second or third proper tutorial of this project today. It's crazy how much work we've got to do in such little time. That, topped off with the feeling that we are a couple of weeks behind schedule on the project (which i think everyone is) it isn't a good time to be starting the process of putting theory and planning into action. I mean, we haven't even got our hand on the 'making things kit' and we're already into week 6 or something.
I'm losing track of what week we're on. It would be nice if we can get some clarification on when we need to have this done by (wink wink, to any tutors who are reading this)
Anyway, about the project, well another week and another concept. Now the idea is to create a virtual universe which consists of people individually created and personal planets, which comes with it's chosen name and date of creation. Each planet will be individual to users through a series of variables that when changed creates a planet with it's own unique characteristics.
Possible ideas for further individualism, for the web variables could be decided by a series of questions i.e.... what time do you normally get up? options (early bird 5 - 7, earlyish 7-9, mid 9-10, late 10-12, ridiculas 12-2)...... a further 5 questions can be set with similar outcomes. so to summarize, users answer a series of questions with all answers attached to different variables which in turn effect the possible outcome of the inderviduals planet. Just to note this idea is just that, an idea. If we coud use it to better our project or user experience within the time scale which we have to complete the project then it could work. But, at this moment in time it's just a seggestion put forward by myself (Leon).
This weeks to do list goes as:
Leon
- organise planning and all other work so far into one stuctured folder (or for any hand written work and tutorial records to be together)
- create 101 different texture maps to go onto different planets
-update blog
Sam
-crack on with creating the interactive universe and planet skeletons
-look at the making things kit on-line
-look at creating a group on-line planner with Sarah Humphreys
Dan
-look at creating a php data base to store peoples planets and information, date of creation, name, ect.
- organize sound files into background music and sound effects
-find some more sound effects and background music.
I'll Keep'ya posted. Talk to you soon, Leon
