Week 6 Blog: Updated History & Physics Prototype

History Idea Update

This week we come up with the new idea that there are multiple cards players can collect but there are fake cards and real cards. Players need to read the information on the cards and find out the wrong description or image. By identifying the cards player can earn in-game currency.

One of the inspirations is Doodle God.

Physics Demo Update:

Instead of making an experience based on gravity, we are moving to the experience of surface friction. In this experience, we will teach the difference between rolling friction and sliding friction. The reason we change the direction is we find changing gravity is fictional and players may learn knowledge from it. 

Our reference is from an educational game but it is based on mobile so we will find a way to make the experience suit the Roblox community.

For the art style, we are thinking of experimental theme like the scene in the video game Portal

Players need to push the objects and trigger button to move to the next room(Level).

The following video is our current version of the demo.

Next Week

We will have a half-presentation next week, 1/2s is a good chance to get feedback from faculties, especially since we have some progress compared to 1/4s so we will be prepared for the presentation.
