The Pitch!

Hello!
As you would all know the pitch today went off really well =) in terms of how it was presented and laid out. Congrats guys! It was really nice to see so much thought put into what you guys have done!

The general consensus was that it was really professional and the effort that the concept team has put in has been awesome. From what we hear, teams from previous years haven't had a chance to present it in this fashion and this is a great start indeed. For us especially. Andy's remark was that we've done a great job to have reached the point we're at now and we're well ahead.

But as all things would have a backside to it, we've got real issues to deal with, things to test out and nutting down to a concise and clearer idea of gameplay and scale. We also need to deal with it in terms of the timeframe we have.

According to Matt, there are some areas that need further consideration:
1. the scale
2. the multi-user aspect (I think Paul and Em B have worked this out now!)
3. the emphasis on goal-oriented gameplay
4. the 'reward' or 'pay-off' at the end

And I think Paul and the Concept team would probably be working on these for the next 3 days.

The meeting with the EPs today lifted so much weight off our shoulders, as we've resolved to break it down into a more concise piece.
1. We've resolved to make it CLEARLY a multi-player game. So it needs atleast two people playing it at any point in time.
2. We've decided to have only two spaces, the city and the island (as one slightly more complex area where all 4 stages of the game would be played.)

The Engine team at the moment is trying to work out whether the concept would work as a whole and if the multi-player nature of it would present problems!

Jo and Cherry, from the Production team, have offered to test out a few things as well tomorrow.

Another reminder: Please do your time-sheets by 4PM tomorrow and load them onto Terra 'cause we are planning to log them in! Please do it, cause we have higher ups that we need to answer to. And remember managing your time is crucial as it would help you in your minor and major project as well =)

Cheers guys!
And thanks for the effort and feedback today!
