Current project introduction:
The entire game revolves around an environmental theme, depicting the inevitable demise of a forest as it gradually transforms into an industrial city. Following the first chapter of the game, the second chapter will feature a desolate industrial setting, characterized by cold, mechanized urban landscapes, with a spider-shaped metallic monster looming within it.
Week 1 Meeting Overview:
During our first week meeting, we laid the groundwork for our project. We introduced team members, including Han Luoqing, He Liuyihao, Zhu Yuhong, Zheng Shihong, and Zou Jianqiu. Each member’s role and responsibilities were outlined as follows:
- Zhu Yuhong: Conceptual design and 2D animation.
- Zheng Shihong: 3D model construction and texture creation.
- He Liuyihao: Mechanism development within the game engine.
- Han Luoqing: Story concept formulation.
Additionally, we discussed the allocation of tasks within the group:
- Project Coordination: Zou Jianqiu
- Conceptual Design and 2D Animation: Zhu Yuhong
- 3D Modeling and Texture Creation: Zheng Shihong
- Game Engine Mechanism Development: He Liuyihao
- Story Conceptualization and Writing: Han Luoqing
Furthermore, we set the stage for the game’s theme, focusing on environmental conservation. The narrative explores the inevitable demise of a forest transitioning into an industrial city. Following the first chapter, the second chapter will depict a dilapidated industrial scene, featuring a spider-shaped metallic monster amidst the urban decay.
In this meeting, I primarily contributed by presenting character binding requirements and suggesting design styles based on my gaming experiences. Recognizing the importance of captivating visuals, I proposed keeping facial details of game characters intentionally blurry to intrigue players further. We concluded by deciding to use Miro as our project handover platform and provided initial project recommendations and front-end development requirements.
This meeting served as the foundation for our project, aligning team members and establishing key objectives for the weeks ahead.
