Game Project 1: 22/11-2018

Project Name: *Under Consideration*

Hello again!

The project is really starting to take form, especially the programmers who made a lot of progress today. At the later part of the afternoon we had a meeting with our artist regarding the art style, which all in all was decent, but I still would have preferred art made by themselves over pictures taken from the internet. They showed us reference boards full of pictures (some were well over 30) and commented on each what they liked about it. We designers took some notes and discussed afterwards what we thought about it. A lot of  the pictures were a bit too futuristic or science fiction-esque from what we first had in mind, though. 

Our new background story for the game is a girl who is trying to escape from a research facility after they have conducted several experiments on her. Before she her escape, she has to gather evidence in order to prove to the outside world what is really going in inside the facility, because otherwise no one would believe her.

I spent most of the time re-writing the GDD, updating the summary, high concept, stealing, stealth, items, obstacles and UI chapters. Other than that I also added some things to the Asset Breakdown Document and the Trello Board. Generally making sure that everything is neat and tidy everywhere.

Overall, our programmers seem to work really effective, and they have clarified that getting a playable version of our game will pose no problem at all. On the artist side, we already got two character models from our character artist, several suggestions of assets from our environment artists. We also got a level layout which we can work on to make whiteboxing out of.

Tomorrow we will have a sprint review with our teachers and we will also elaborate more thoroughly about what we plan on doing the next coming weeks of the project.

That is all I have for now!
