(MA) Mid Point Review presentation

Hello all!

Since its a powerpoint presentation I'm having difficulties uploading every image. I'll write down everything, but the end might be a tad different than the presentation. Atleast you won't get bored!

Anyways;

You all know the project, I'll just speak about the changes/news.

I've got the Edinburgh map in grid now, and I've done some research into old maps and other funky "occult" stuff that might be found about edinburgh. This is to find some symbolic references on the map. I'm talking about streets, buildings etc. shaped in some specific way for something. If I cannot find many, I'll just make them up as I go along.

We've decided the game will be played by 2 factions. The players will choose them from the start, and they cannot change it. The two factions will try to "capture" the grids on the map, or specific points, by being there and clicking on the program. The GPS on their smartphones will understand their position, and add a point to their faction.

This could be visual as well, where the factions actually imprint/write/spray their logos on the streets, although I think the governement could be a bit angry about that. We could also use barcode readers for it as well. So many ideas!

Anyways, the factions will be witch hunters and the pagan cultists. I chose them because they're quite recognisable. The storyline will be written later, but the pagan people are basically searching for occult symbols and trying to capture relics/artifact while the witch hunters are....hunting them!

Well what else? There's good news on the funding front, where my friend can get a programmer with his university funding, which would ease up our situation a lot. After this whole business with the research paper is done, I will sit down and create the artwork for the game, and the design of the maps.

Thats about it! thanks for reading and see you on tuesday.
