Phase 1

WHERE DO WE BEGIN?

Branding

To begin Phase 1, Kiera and I need to establish our Image and Branding. This will involve thinking about the name of our game, the tone, the message we aim to convey and how this might shape itself into our own logo. We can use today's guest lecture to inspire this process and then begin to set up our own website and social media pages. I'd also like to do a bit of research into Marketing to support what I already know which we can use to enhance the way we present ourselves on social media, and to learn more of the tips and tricks I wasn't aware of already. I'd like to look into the current trends on Instagram and Twitter which will make it easier for us to reach an audience and gain engagement.

Refine Scope

We have also agreed to begin refining our Project Scope from now. Our scope is big and we are aware we are against time, so to make it easier, we plan to evaluate our proposal and begin removing unnecessary features, without losing the tone of the game. Alongside our proposal, we produced a detailed schedule to support our Agile Methodology for these next 12 weeks, however, we plan to refine this schedule after we have discussed the scale of our scope and elements to disregard. This will then lead us to prototyping and testing during Phase 2, which will influence the outcome of our refined gameplay experience.

Management

To manage our project successfully, it'll be necessary to make use of online tools and digital literacies to store work, document changes and allow us to work collaboratively. We documented useful tools for this project within our Proposal, including Trello, Miro and Slack - which we intend to use for these purposes. I'll be setting these up to ensure we have them ready in place for development and further planning.
