Meeting Four - Monday 17th November 2008

Regular 1pm meeting in Eldon basement. Everyone
apart from Alex turned up, so we have decided Alex will have to go in
the MOCAP suit for our performance, cos he has failed to appear twice
to meetings.
Jack has done models uploaded to this group, and are taking shape.
Fran has now created the 3 characters involved in the story, and
created them in flash. Her idea for the animation/background story
will be scripted and storyboarded and uploaded soon. We decided that I
can help fran in animating the story at the start.
We also discussed making our game into more of a performance, by maybe
getting someone from the audience to get up and play our game, trying
it out for themselves. Altho, is this really a performance, or an
interaction? If it is a performance, I guess it must be controlled by
us, and although getting audience participation might seem a good
idea, it not really a performance. We also decided that maybe the
audience should decide what final door to open. Altho all 3 doors lead
to exactly the same ending of THE WRONG DOOR idea meaning that we
don't have to do a fancy ending story, and the player is just killed
or whatever. Who thinks we should do any of this?
Our roles were this week were:

Hel - Create a logo for the website, and maybe create a banner also

Jack + Alex - Create the 3D character based on Fran's drawings

Fran - Upload the story, and characters for Jack and Alex to model.
Continue the storyboarding, and once done, upload to this group

Simon - Create some drawings ON PAPER of the level designs you had.
Making sure its a simple design. Simon has put up image of cave
environment on the group, and i dunno what others think, but I'm
liking it! We able to get the text and all that outta the way?

Me - Help Fran with animation of background story, and continue
documentation and production process, AND PROPOSAL.

We decided that next monday we would meet up with all our work, so we
can check it before giving it all to our client, Alex Counsell. The week
after that, we will arrange a meeting, and get our idea signed off.
