This week we mainly iterated on our pet interaction system design. Also, we polished our diary system experience flow. Our programmers kept prototyping the pet interaction system and continued working on the diary system. We also prioritized the features we wish to have for the Half presentation.
Game Design:
- Researched on currency in different games and confirmed to use positive energy balls as the currency in the project.
Art:
- Designed four pets with their concept art for the game.
- Agreed on using the circled one as the pet.
- Polish the diary system flowchart.
- Change the previous design of using an ordinary diary with a calendar to the form of talking with the pet to keep a daily record.
Programming:
- Connected all the functions in the diary system. The prototype of the diary system is almost completed.
- Completed save and load function in the game.
- Finished the basic functions of the pet system.
Production:
- Completed building the project website.
- Finished the Project Development Timeline.
Challenge:
- Need a bunch of art assets to be implemented into the game.
- Need to playtest to find out the preference of the art style as our target audience is high-school students.
- UI/UX design for the diary system.
Plan for next week:
- Finish the poster & half sheet of the project.
- Create some animations for the pet and implement them into the game.
- Finish the diary system with UI assets.
- Sort the layout of the diary system.
- Finish the pet interaction system with animations of feeding and petting.
