In this week of CPD lessons, everyone is tasked to their work load that is given by me during week 7. Hence, I had been coming up with some visuals for the board game, improving a little bit on the menu page that the lectures suggested from the Mini Viva presentation. And also I came up other visuals.

Here are the visuals:

In this week of CPD lessons, Hestia Production have not much progress as this is the examination week, everyone had their focus at different places, thus not much progress had been made. However, the programming of the board game is going well and that it is presentable for the next progress presentation to the teacher in-charged.

In this week CPD lessons, we started on all the technical stuff that is to be done. I held a meeting to assign the work load that each of us is to do. I had YongXiang finalise on the Singapore History Story that we are going to use. I had YunTeik start programming the game and I am to start doing the visuals of the board game.

Hence, for this week, I start to draw the characters and also colour it. I redo the line work of the characters to be cleaner and add in colours which will be the final character design that we are going to use. I had to redraw the line work as the previous drawn character is on a lower resolution and the line work is a bit messy.

The character designs progress:

In this week of CPD lessons, we did not had much to do as there is only just touch up on completing the Viva slides. We are to present at Viva this week and we had a practice presentation infront of a few classamates to brush up on our presentation skills before the actual Mini Viva Presentation.

After the Viva Presentation, we had quite a few positive feedback from the lectures that we presented our Viva to. Hence, in order to not forget what the lectures told us, I held a meeting to discuss on what to improve on and hear from my members on their feedback on the ideas.

To conclude, we are to touch up on the menu page colours and also design aspect. And we decided that we had to start programming the board game as we had limited time to finish this project as we have alot to accomplish before week18 the actual Viva Presentation.

In this week of CPD lessons, we as Hestia Production starts do work on the technical stuff. I designed the menu page that our game is going to have using Photoshop, and also updated on the Shotgun for the schedules and also updated on the group blog. I helped out Yong Xiang with finishing up the powerpoint slides and also double check the content in preparations for the upcoming Viva presentation the following week.

The menu page that I created:

In this week of CPD lessons, YongXiang and I came up with this idea of the board game to be story driven as the theme for our board game is about Singapore History, I feel that the the History is rich in story thus a story driven approach. We also came up with the idea of having the story with multiple endings or path to feature different story telling approach too. The different endings would be decided from the player choices that they make in the game where they have to decide the path they want to take to reach the end of the board.

We had to present the progress to the teacher in-charged and I held another meeting after the presentation for debrief and revisit how to improve on our ideas, assigning the members with different work load. I had YongXiang to be in-charged of the powerpoint slides where as I am to research on the type of visuals we want for our board game. I assigned Yunteik to research on how to connect the phone with the board game to have the phone to act as an controller for our game.

In this week of CPD lessons, I called for another team meeting to discuss on what kind of board game we want it to be, and also the theme of our boar game. After the discussion, I  tasked my members to research on what we discuss earlier in order to be prepared for the up coming presentation to update the teacher in-charged of our progress with the project.

The week ended with us presenting our power point slide for the first time to the teacher in-charged and we had another meeting after the presentation to debrief on the suggestions that the teacher in-charged presented us.

To conclude, we decided that our board game would be a 2D side scrolling game done in Flash or Unity, which ever is easier or meet our technical needs. The theme for our board game would be about Singapore History. This week would be just researching on how to create a good board game and the History of Singapore for the theme of our game.

In this week of CPD lessons, the group is to submit to the teacher in-charged the finalised group logo. We are to come up with 5 Logo design so that the lecture can choose from it the best of the 5 Logo designs that we came up with. Out of the 5 Logo, I came up with 3 designs. And we finalized on a logo that yuntiek came up with. Also this week we are to submit the name for our team, as a team we came up with group name Hestia Production and agreed to use it as our team name.

The 3 Logo design that I came up with:

In this week of CPD lessons, we are to form a group of 3 to handle a project for the semester. I formed the group with YunTeik and YongXiang. I as the group leader asked for a meeting with my members. For this week, we had to come up with 10 ideas that we want for the group to work on. The ideas had to be presented the following week. So we discussed and I came up with 3 of the ideas presented.

1. Ngee Ann Polytechnic Phone Application
2. IQ Test Application
3. Environmental Video on Saving the Earth

Although it is not required to be done this weel, we came as a group to discuss on what the group name is going to be and also came up with a rough sketch on what the group logo is going to look like.

As group leader, I am in charged of the group blog and to update it, hence I am the one that will be updating the blog and also the meeting minutes.
