The Next Steps

At this early stage we have developed a general Design Plan for the game and have explored a possible visual approach. The next steps will involve generating a more detailed Design Plan. In the next week, we will discuss and document all possible gameplay scenarios in order to achieve a clearer notion of how users will interact with the game. This analysis should contribute to a more concise and considered Design Plan.

Work up until now.

After initial game research, development of ideas began for different topics. Some of these topics included hydraulics, marking and food safety. Research also began on such things as art work styles and game engine design and implementations. After much discussion Paula and myself decided to work on a game with a food safety aspect. With met up with Greg (food science and environmental health lecturer D.I.T. Cathal Brugha St. and one of the consultants for this project) and trips to such places like the Dublin city council markets and the D.I.T Cathal Brugha street kitchens soon followed. This gave us a great feel for the idea of a health and safety project and also allowed us to take pictures which we could benefit from in the future. During this week (2nd - 8th July) we came up with a few ideas and after consultation with Hugh (Supervisor of the project) the team presented an idea to Kevin and Noreen ( D.I.T. e-Learning supervisors). The working title of the game ' contamin8 ' and the blog were also created today.
