Week 13

week13

(17/2/14)

This beta week base on last week comment we start to correct and finalised our job scope. I bought some of the material to make the projector stand stronger. We are making more support in between to make it more stable.

Jazmi advised us to spray the projector stand into black so it look nicer.

So i focus on coding more because this week is beta week. To make the game more user friendly we need add in timer and when the timer is counting and people interact with the mouse deer it will auto restart.

Today is one day before beta so we gather up to set up at iis to make sure during beta nothing went wrong. And basically focus on logistic. So at the same time i continue to refine the coding.

Wilson is refining the User Interface and make the story intro video and ending video.

And Angela need to voice over the poem.

We end and 6 then we head back home. I am suppose to change ui and design few more stage to continue the poem but turn out wilson send me the files and 10 pm so i need to rush out the stage overnight.

Due to the design have slightly different so basically changing the whole files is faster than replace one by one then copy over the coding. So i start over a flash to import the design files over. When i realise i finish one stage is already 3 am . Then i continue create the pause page and main page. Then i went to sleep and wake up early to continue.

(19/2/14)

Today is beta test due to overnight i wake up slightly late. When i reach i continue to my code. And the time is rushing and other are busy setting up. Although Angela want to help me but if i explain the coding and the structure to her will just waste the time of coding so i just do it myself.

After finish the stage almost beta test. Then i create the sound manager to play music. Thank to leon for helping me out. After when i think everything i correct that time. Proxy that connect AS3 and arduino have some error that make our coding when wrong. We tried to fix but due to the time we cannot do much so first come to my mind is to ask Jam to help. Jam show up on time and help us solve the code. But the still got some error. I try to fixed the error and the member is very nervous and rushing me. And say just show first. But i say cannot because if show also need to show one stage that are complete. So i use all the time i have to fixed it.

Although I cannot complete the stage but there are still some outcome for the beta test. For the part that are still unable to test out i use computer to show how it work and how is the game play look like.

And these are feedback we get after the beta test:

beta 19/2/14
1. how many min for the whole game play? too long?
2. can save the game?
3. gt 2 main purpose: folktale, teamwork, try make it more focus
4. a bit too monotonous, cz just 1 interaction (jump) only
5. can try to tilt the carpet
6. graphic is unfinished, typography
7. the green dots on the kancil's body like kena virus
8. the star on top of kancil is ambiguous, star indicates some positive meaning but actually is the kancil life -1, maybe can make it like turning in circle
9. game stage background can try to make it more graphical, like different level showing diff time (day/night) or (cold to warm), can refer to Badland graphics
10. the design of booth can make it into a cave
11. carpet to shoe?
12. for the intro, certain text at the side cant read, maybe can make it smaller font and change the color of font, or make the middle part very bright so that is like people are flashing a torchlight in a cave
13. ending movie
14. destination, stop few frame then continue
15. documentary video
