Studio |||: feedback during the showcase!

The concept has an interesting turning point as it holds multiple sensations within the maps given in the solid prototype. 

Must develop this game.

This lady liked the idea of showing the interdisciplinary domain in the concept of not having a game that is either scary or just one way like. It’s testing the players several behaviours, encountering different sensations.

Maps should automatically develop according to the players skills.

6 estimated people are looking forward for the further development after hearing the idea of this game being implemented into virtual reality, mobile and PC game. Negative point: May get boring since it will have 2 different platforms of the same kind but VR would be interesting.

The concept itself is great but it would be interesting to transform this into a different theme and encourage them all through creativity. (This was originally our idea because us as a group would like to experiment next semesters theme onto this as well)

The given image below is conceptualised by Hooryah but I touched upon the white spaces as they’re aren’t very pleasing for exhibitions.

The idea behind this design was to portray its own style through the concept. In this case, it had a rough look to it but foreshadowing the idea of having something shady. We wouldn't have been able to give the project a rough look if the black plastic in the background was going on the wall as it'll only be flat and that’s why we’ve chosen that little area just so that we could give it a little nature-like texture to the project with a light in the middle, projecting upwards, shading into the maps, proving the concept creatively. 

Working on the solid prototype...

As I got to the end of this making, I touched upon the rough texture on the stairs and this triggered another new idea about the installation for the show case... 

The original idea was to have the solid prototype placed on a decent height that keeps the attraction connected with the public and not to have it too high or too low where they would have to bend over to have a closer look of the model. The idea was to also have documentation of the making of this project on the wall but I still don’t like the idea of having too many paper work around the exhibit model as the attention draws off the model and kills the point of having the product as public are more interested into the product”creativity’ then the background information of how it was made. I want to have a warm coloured light on the top of the model, projecting downwards to give the whole area a calm look with a nice texture forecasting the rough texture given to the prototype. 

But anyways...my group had decided to showcase a demo of the game but because that was impossible as we had very limited time, we came across presenting a solid prototype. We are still going with this idea BUT....like i said before....that something triggered as I started giving the stairs a rough texture...

I was thinking of producing a video of the solid prototype but panned in slow motion and have a story about the game, giving every word a name,taken from the concept. For example; if the concept holds the idea about an AI, a name is given to the AI and it’s special characterization into the game as the same is given to the human player. A well organised explanation is given to the whole atmosphere with reasoning. The reasons must be connected to the research done by each member of the group. 

My role as a Practical(Game developer), UX/UI Designer, Researcher, Audio Designer, I have divided my work into weekly timeline so I have a clear direction of what needs to be implemented before the due date. 

Team: Hard Skinned

Studio Theme: Posthuman

Hard Skinned Theme: Making something comfortable uncomfortable.

Concept:Testing out the human psychological behaviours in-game to experiment the process of neural network from the Artificial Intelligence. The purpose of this is to compete with the human mind using AI.

Why do we need to experiment the players behaviours in-game? To break their comfort zone and reveal their insecurities.

How are we going to do this? Through effects of colours, sounds, and different types of behaviours that is generated by the AI’s in-game.

Why does this matter to others? What is the purpose? To challenge the human players and help them realise their insecurities and to help them learn their controlled neural process while gaming.

I think Steven Hawkings brain should’ve been preserved and passed onto Sofia, developed by Hanson Robitics!!!
