Josue's Log: Week 2

In this week, our team continued doing a little bit more of designing for the game and we also started working making prototypes for some of the mini games that the game will include. In my case, the first thing that I started working on was work on the first narrative for the virus game play. We also finished our power point and at the end of Tuesday we met up with our clients. During the meeting, we demonstrated the power point to our client which included all of the ideas that we all came up for the game. In the end, the clients really liked our ideas and told us that they would share our idea with their colleagues and let us know if any thoughts emerges later on.

On Thursday I continued working on the second narration and then started working on the other narration for the Cell game play. I managed to finish by noon and then started working on prototyping one of the mini games I came up with. This mini game consists of you being the virus in first person view and you have to make it to the red cell without crashing with white cells. During the afternoon, I started setting up the prototype. I managed by the end of our working hours to make the camera just move along the z axis and if it collided with a white cell, it will respwan to where it started.

During Saturday, I managed to improve the movement of the camera so that it goes towards wherever its looking instead of just the z axis. I also started coming up with a little algorithm so that it generates random white cells in the game in ideal positions. The results looked alright, but needed improvement. Lastly I tried to see if I could create a cylinder object and make it inside out so that it is view able from the inside in order to give the player the illusion that he is inside a blood vessel. Unfortunately I wasn't able to make that happen, so I decided on leaving that for a later cause. In the end, I kept working on the algorithm until I started getting results that looked like what I envisioned at first.
