Week 2 - First week of the Game Development Workshop

Christian and Yang here, time to start on our new requirements for the semester… We would also like to introduce two new members into our group: Seonghyun Lee and Shing Hei Yee. Pretty excited about this because now we have the chance to improve our game further with more support. Kinda unexpected though.

When we started the class, Dr. Finney reported to us about all the features in the upcoming classes. We now have second year support for our Game Design and Production class, as well as the Graphics II and Sound & Audio classes for some of our other members. Meeting up with Dr. Finney and Professor Fullerton, we have a great idea on what’s going to be happening this semester.

As you may know already our game ‘Medium Rare’ gives players the role of a protagonist Alien whose race has invaded earth and is trying to find a new food source. They find that they do not like humans, so instead they go after cows. Our game gives the player the control of a good alien of the race whose goal is to try and beam up the cows to safety. Some design aspects we wish to change and update in our game would first be our gameplay. We want to make the game play in the sense where it will compete with NPC Evil Alien characters to beam up cows. We also plan on adding a HUD! It should look a lot better.

After meeting with Professor Fullerton, we’ve also been pointed in the right direction of where our models should be going. We’ve came to the conclusion that we would need to make our models a bit more cartoony with more realistic textures. The ones we’re using now aren’t the best but have served the proper purpose.

And now we’re working on our commitment documents, it’s good to be organized :)
