Further more, Mr Mike advised us to explore the Virtual Road World game as our game reference for our project and use the camera view from the game.

Client's Feedback

Real life scenarios as well (holes etc)
Road safety - it will be beneficial if there are science behind it
How certain people have faster reaction time
Put some notes related to speed (that’s why F1 driver have really good reaction time - the reasons behind and how to link with real life scenario)

Proposal Slides:

Week 7

Based on Mr Mike’s feedback, we revised and improved our story board in a more detailed manners. Besides, we are advised to break down the animations parts that guide from the assets and decide the part that should be animated. Further more, we need to discuss and work on the colour palette for our game, also get the perspective right to have a stimulated visual for the game so that we can know about how are we going to deliver for the game when we ensure it is achievable.

Week 8

Mr Mike told us we should have a overall objective for how we want the game looks like which we can consider to make the design into a arcade game style which will looks more fun and attractive. Besides, we must think of ways to engage with the target audience which make them keep interest towards the game experience but designing the game playful yet it is educational. Further more, we should consider to add features in the gameplay experience by making it entertaining such as include fun elements and interactions for the players Besides, we also had a meeting with Mr Razif which also includes the computing side so that both side with keep on track on the progress. Mr Razif gave us feedbacks based on our story board and also provide advise and suggestion In terms of game mechanics for us to be clear on the possible outcome that we can achieve.
