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 6: Local Co-op Games Genre Market Analysis, Target Audience, Key Industry Players and Competitor (24 June 2018)

Things that this entry will be analyzing on will be co-op games genre popularity and its target audience. Target Audiences and Co-Op Games Market Analysis MO-3 & KEV 7 is an arcade game which hardcore PC or console players will not fancy getting to that specific location to play this game unless they are willingly to play this game and that will occur if marketing of this game is sufficiently effective to create the sense of hype. This game is likely to be targeting the players who are 25 years old or older. The reason behind it is that the players who in that age would most likely to engage local cooperative games instead of online competitive games. With that information, I take this game as a market opportunity to gain more players to play this game. According to Kaleb Embaugh's findings on "Local Co-Op is The Most Consistently Appealing Mode of Social Gaming Across Gender and Age", co-op games are tend to attract friends whether it's co-located ...

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...
