For my industry event I decided to attend PAX Unplugged, which was an event focused around nondigital games. During the event, there were a few panels relating to game design and resources that can aid in that, and I feel as though I learned a substantial amount while attending them. Since a large part of… Continue reading Snyder Industry Event
PAX was incredibly enjoyable, both as someone who enjoys games and also as a developer. There’s something about seeing so many other people with the same passion as you talking and sharing the same space that really drives home how much you love something. While at PAX in Philadelphia I was not only able to… Continue reading Albright – Industry Event Write-Up
This week, I shared a rough cut of the first video in my tutorial series. I edited the entirety of the audio, and had a few basic animations and motion graphics sprinkled throughout, to help give people a sense of what the video would be like to watch. I then asked people a few questions… Continue reading Kiernan’s Prototype 3
For this prototype, I decided to create the prologue in Ren’py to gauge how the actual visual novel will play out and feel. Although I have already brought in the script for the second prototype previously, I hoped to learn how the text would feel when the actual visual novel is being played with… Continue reading Aaron’s Prototype Sprint #3

This meet up consisted of a long lecture on the basics of machine learning and then I introduced myself to attendees afterward and had discussions with them. In this lecture, I was taught basic concepts of machine learning including gathering data,… Continue reading Kenny’s Industry Event

This UI included a list of available units, an overview of a specific unit, a health bar for units, and the screen that appears when you are about to have a unit engage in battle. At… Continue reading Snyder Prototype 3
This week, I showed some mockups of what visuals in the videos might look like. I came up with two color palates, the title screen, the set of fonts that I would use, and a special overlay to make the footage look like it was on a physical computer screen. Feedback was a lot more… Continue reading Kiernan’s Prototype Sprint #2
phytosophy knowledge of plants (an actual word? unsure) Phytosophy strives to give users, especially those new to the concept of urban foraging, the tools to feel confident in finding plants with the assistance of a local expert. Presented to a tech crowd with no relation to agriculture or botany, there’s no expectation to win over… Continue reading Research: website/identity
This week for my prototype I gathered responses to questions on the subject of wild food/foraging and it was a bit of a rude awakening. I realized that the vast majority of people have never heard of the terms “wild food” nor “foraging” in a modern context. I very quickly realized that my multiple choice… Continue reading Prototype 2
