deadline

week 11

 

Deadline

Tomorrow is the deadline.
The whole week we have been trying to finish our game..
Upload the latest pictures,
Include the mini clips,
Fix everything until the last detail.
We have also tried it on different devices, (tablets and phones) to see if it works good on all of them.
And fortunately it does work good on all. :)

So this is it.
We are ready to present  it to the testers and listen to their opinions,
and we sure hope they like it.

I'm so excited I can't wait.

           Week 10

In 2 weeks we have the deadline.
That means that we must have everything ready and working fine.
The more time we were spending on the game the more bugs we were finding.
There are a lot of details that must be fixed, and must be ready on time.

Most of the pictures are already integrated in the game,
the mini games are getting better and better,
the maps have been updated, the buttons are all on the interface
and the improvements are now obvious.

It is starting to be very nice and we are getting close to the image we had in mind when we started building it.

As soon as the game is delivered we will start the Alpha testing.
We must starting looking for testers, so we can start the process of testing as soon as possible.

It is one of the best projects I was a part of until now and I am very proud for the results we have so far.
I know that until we reach the end,we will have a game that will be much better than what we could imagine.

week 9

This week the work was on the graphics.

Pictures and animations are ready to be included in the game.
At the end of this week we hopefully will have our first view of the complete game and we will be ready to start our testing.

We are reaching to the end of our project and I can see that we will have the results we were expecting.

   

        

Week 8

This week we can see the finish line.
The actual game has finished.

There are some mini clips that must get ready and some pictures  that must get in the program for it to become more user friendly and more fun to play with, but the programming part is complete.

As soon as we include the pictures and the clips we will start our testing to get some feedback. That will help us  to find out which things need improvements and point to us errors we might have misted. 
I am sure that we will find some details that will need to be fixed but that is not a problem.

 

Week 7 

 

This week really made a difference.
It was extremely productive and I am very happy about it.
The Story boards are ready and we got everything in order.
The game is finally getting flesh and bones, and it is not only in paper.
Due to the hard work of our programmers team  the core of the game is almost complete.
It was really amazing seeing the mini games to be created and after all that frustration as soon as the errors were fixed the relive and pleasure was huge.  In a week they got from nothing to almost completing the game.
Now is time to start working hard on the graphics so we can make it look even better.

                                      week 6

We are already behind of schedule so there is no time to waste.
We must restructure the story we have so far in order to include the new points we want in our Game, and that is what we did.



We all sat down, putted our heads together and came up with the new story.
Hopefully we will stick to it, because we have no extra time to spend.

The story is only a part of the project but with out it,all the other parts can't start.
So now we are ready to start the actual implementation our Game.

The graphics team will start to work with the basic background and the main buttons of the interface and the programming team will create the basic functions of our Game

week 5

We are at the fifth week and can see that our story has some problems.
After we decided that we must change the story, we all met downtown to get some fresh ideas.




After a couple of hours that we were walking throught the old town of Nicosia we got the basic points that we want to include to the Game.
We have pictures and we got the details we want to get as started again.
We must now sit down and compare what we have so far with the new points we want to include to see how we will continue from now on.

Week 3

I believe that this week we have made some important progress :)
The story is almost completed.
 We had another visit to the museums and we found all the little details that were missing from the original story we had.
There were things that needed to change,  but there were also some great ideas that we wanted to include no matter what, so we finally adjusted the story to feat into the ideas.
There are steal some minor issues with the ending, but we will figure it out shortly.
An important part of the project is complete and now we are able to move on :)

Digital Game design

Week  2

    This is a lesson that at first I wasn't so fond of on doing, but in the second week i already changed my mind. In these two weeks we briefly saw what categories of games exist and how the differentiate from each other.  Each one of as sat down and decided what kind of game he/she would like to to this semester. Then we presented our thoughts in class where we chose one of the ideas to implement.

   That game has to do with Cyprus and has an educational but also a fun side .To get as started we went around Nicosia and saw lots of places. Despite the fact that we got some amazing ideas,we had a great time with the guys, and it is something i would definitely would love to do again. That helped us a lot in getting ideas and putting our thoughts in order  We already came up with a part of the story and i can't wait for the rest.
