This is currently in the designing process, I have restarted the design of the game as I was coming up with new and exciting ideas. I really cannot wait to get this game up and running.
We are concentrating on the multi-player aspect of the game with future plans to make it playable with a single player mode. The game will journey via a variety of mazes and mini-games in a variety of environments with cartoon cutscenes between levels to fill in a fantasy/comedy stroyline when transitioning via levels.
My role in this project was to design the game concept, type the documentation and then work my charm to convince others that it's totally awesome and we're going to win DARE to be digital with it, but at this time 4th Year Honours had just begun for me and the people I know so gathering a team of people that I knew were good at their discipline and have personalities that would not jeopardise the game and team itself became challenging.
I somehow managed to gather a team of great talent. We entered the Dare to be digital competition as planned.
Getting the ball rolling
Organization & Storage
We set up a gmail account for the team and used the google drive as a storage base for the documentation, schedules, art and videos.
We set up a trello board as a base for research references and team checklists.
To communicate we set up an account on slack where we have chat channels for each discipline for the development of the game. This allows us to quickly track a conversation or attachment we may need to find. And we can still have one on one chats between each member.
