Entry 14: Necessary Resources (19 August 2018)

Software

Unity Engine
The game will be running with Unity Engine as it is Leap Motion supported.
Leap Motion Programme
- This programme is required to run the Leap Motion controller

Hardware
Leap Motion controller
- It will be used for interacting objects in the game.

PC with sufficient performance
- Since the game requires to run a 3D platform game and a Leap Motion controller, I reckon it’ll require some decent performance to run the game flawlessly.
Projector
- The design of the arcade machine is intended to be compact and small, thus the arcade machine will not have a physical screen instead a projector to be replaced as.

Building materials
- Ranging from plywood to nails, the arcade machine will require some fundamental material to build a sturdy structure that can withstand the weight of the projector and the controllers.

Custom-made Joystick
- Hacking through old keyboards and turn it into a joystick by mapping the keys through linear circuits. It requires some plywood and glue to build a sturdy joystick.

3D Leap Motion holder
- To make the Leap Motion controller to be more presentable and relatable to the game.

Space (Floor Plan)
Projected screen ratio: 16:9
Project Description: A2 (flexible position or placement)

Entry 21 : Building The Crank - 3D printing

This entry will be discussing about the continuity development for decorating the MO-3 crank. I've 3D modelled 3 items for printings: - 2 Handles (UpDown and LeftRight) - KEV-7 Leap Motion holder I took atleast 2 days prototyping the size of the 3D printed prototypes to see if it fits in the crank's handle. It took few prototype to find the correct scale. After settled with the correct scale, I've loaded up the Tronxy X1 3D printer with the handles. The first print was a success while not so for the other print. It was too big and technical error that causes the model to be displaced in layers. Thus, I loaded the same model and printed it again. It failed due to knotted 3D filaments. Third try was a success. Total it took 2 full nights to fully print 2 handles. After that I've loaded KEV-7 Leap Motion holder into a bigger 3D printer (beside FabLab's main Mac) and start printing the model. Due to too much pink 3D filaments, Ron and I decided to use the p...

Entry 11: Concept Art (5 July 2018)

This entry will emphasize onto the concept of the level environments and it's mood to show the intended experience for the players to feel when they're in certain situation. I want to focused onto more diverse moods in this short game so that the players experience would be much impact rather than sticking into one visual mood. The moods that I'm emphasizing on are solitariness, danger and mysterious.   This mood board shows the intended visual treatments applying into character and level design. Stage 1: Beginning, a level where the players are introduced. The room consist of a big wall of mirror to reflect the characters, to introduce the characters without any sort of texts or narrations. Stage 2: Battery, a level which the player must pick a battery from a battery dispenser and carry it to the port at the end of this stage. The transition between the start to the port will include a narrow pathway. Through the glass panel in the pathway, there's a ...
