got this from a chat with andy, game power - (what drives you to play the game / what does the player get out of it eg civilisation gives you the feeling of controlling a civilisation, the sims you controll their lifestyle... )
they seemed to like the ida of a tamagochi thing, so nurturing the ebuc growing it...
ideas from this meet,
using the ebuc website to network, maybe finding people who have created similar ebucs or crufts style competition / race / fights...
Donna's idea - have the ebuc on one symbol. introduce another symbol for water or any other affecting element. so if the ebuc walked towards the water you could take it away / make it chase the water or chase the ebuc with something elce.
to have individual ebucs - each base character has a set of different eyes / legs / mouths which you can choose a combination of at the start. we could just model all the eventual outcomes for one set instead of programming flash to edit 3d stuff.
Music - have a generic riff for any mood, as the ebuc gets angry / frustrated turn up the distortion, as it gets happy / satisfied fade into acoustic. - this could be done by recording each level and a transition phase or does anyone know of flash being able to distort it's own audio?
things we need to get started on:
back story behind where the ebucs have come from
logistics of how the whole thing would work together
audio - background music
foly stuff
a set of base characters - design
changeable design things (eyes...)
3d - at least one of them with all the changes
animated
papervision
a set of affecting objects (water, fire, tredmill...)
website - symbol download
competition area
networking / meeting area
story stuff
about...
also, for the final hand in we're never going to get the whole thing working so different things working independantly and some mock up's need to be done.
say...
a short animation of a competition
a run through of the networking thing
at least 1 character working in flash with an affecting object
a short animation of a bunch of other affecting things and characters
I know their must be more but it has fled my mind.
