Week Four - Class One

Today we discussed characters and stories. We discussed the "Hero's Journey", Act's, and character descriptions. We also discussed target market and personas. The largest part of class today was the feedback of their Green Light/Pitch presentations and the final two game mechanics that will be completed over the next 1.5 quarters. The "Banana Bonanza" and "Diabetes 101" were the two mechanics selected for the rest of the time. The class split into two teams and assigned roles to themselves. Now they need to present their ideas to eachother, work out milestones until the next Green Light, and start iterating the gameplay and story. They are to be working on a story bible and playtesting.
