This week i was working on the Game Design Document. Everybody was finishing up on the prototype. I was working on our group mahara page and also the paper prototype. I requested the role of UI designer as i felt I had little work to screenshot and document in my journals. This was after having a third week in a row of working on the documents. I also had to make a slide for our presentation. I found this difficult since I had little to work related to gameplay so far.
Game Design Document:
For the game design document this week I researched and wrote up on our external partner ABB. I researched about engineers to see if there was any points that could be made in our document. I wrote out the section on game description. I finalized the formatting for the document and found some pictures for use in the document. I also created an image on what was our inspiration for our character to use in the document, but it was not used since there was enough as is. Paddy used this instead and it also went to the group Mahara page.
Paper Prototype:
For the Paper Prototype I took pictures when we ran through a demo ourselves one evening. I edited these pictures in Photoshop to give a feel of how we wanted it to look. I spent a considerable amount of time creating some UI examples within the pictures to demonstrate our ideas. I researched professional fonts that could apply best to our games feel and also researched other UI examples in games for objects in worlds. I then updated the group Mahara page to include these.
