For my first prototype, I created an eight-minute rough edit of phone footage I took at Scarlet Smackdown 3 at Rutgers University on October 20th. This was a Super Smash Bros. event that was a qualifier for the Collegiate Starleague national championship. I recorded footage of the players and of the game, and in the… Continue reading Luke’s Prototype 1
This past week for prototype two, instead of showing off the promo video, I instead played the track I will use for it and asked the listeners to tell me what they saw when they listened. I did this because in the first draft of the project I was telling the audience what they should… Continue reading Alex’s Prototype Sprint #2
In regards to the second prototype sprint I displayed an original VFX shot that I created in Maya to receive feedback from my peers. The feedback that I received was helpful in framing some of my design choices for the particular animation. While creating many of my animations I will often linger on sections that… Continue reading Marcus Moore Prototype Sprint #2
This week I worked on the physical and digital pieces that will be used to represent the unit in my game. There are 7 units in total, each with a unique design. My goal for this sprint was to find out if the piece designations made sense, and if they would be easily distinguishable. I… Continue reading Snyder Prototype Sprint 2
During my second review I had my peers look at both of my prototypes and see which changed aspects they liked and which they did not. I was very focused on the homepage and asked for feedback specifically on which they liked better. I had some good feedback and was told the first home screen… Continue reading Pete’s Prototype Review 2
For this prototype I made the script for the prologue of the visual novel. I hoped to learn about the quality of writing and whether or not a reader could grasp what is happening from the text without being given a synopsis. The way I collected information about this was by asking if they… Continue reading Aaron’s Prototype Sprint #2
My prototype for this week was a smaller one but one that is important to the core of the game play. The type of weapon inventory my final game would use. This prototype was a step towards a more permanent system in the game so deciding how it would be managed was paramount. I hoped… Continue reading Chad’s Prototype Sprint #2
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
The goal of Phytosophy is to present the topic of urban foraging in a digestible manner to an audience totally unfamiliar with the concept while also being a source of information useful for anyone interested in foraging. The goal isn’t to convince every person to go out and start looking for edible plants, it’s to… Continue reading Research: conceptual

Presented to a tech crowd with no relation to agriculture or botany, there’s no expectation to win over… Continue reading Research: website/identity
