Current Schedule
We had a play test on one of the version of Liubo on Tuesday Feb 7. We made another two versions and playtested on Friday Feb 10. We will start to implement during the weekend and prepare for halfs.
Project Summary
Our different versions of Liubo share some mechanisms in common and we will starting to develop based on the shared mechanisms.
What Went Well
The play test we had this week all went very well. It takes about 15 minutes for each round. The game feels very balanced and player got similar scores. We went to the Tuesday night playtest at CMU hunt library. And we also had some playtest among ourselves.
Issues For Support
We need to decide if we want to make physical versions and what we want to order to do so.
Prototype Update
We decided that the circles on the board are nests that the owl will bring the fish to.
The green line in the below image indicating that path is only for owls and only owls are allowed to enter. This part is different from the Week 3 prototype which any pieces can go there. Also in Week 4 prototype, pieces are allowed to move in any directions in while Week 3 prototype, pieces are only allowed to move in one direction. This gives player more freedom and increases the strategy of the game.
Art Update
The model of the board is complete.
