The trip to Tokyo and Maker Faire were really interesting, but also really tiring.
I've fixed somes rules in game design document. I've also started working on a website to introduction this project and our progress, and I've made some test with NFC.
3 weeks without writing any report, shame on me.
During last weeks, I've started to write a real game design document, I've also created the logo for the project, now called "Hikari no Sumi". This week was also our first presentation to FUN students and teachers : I've worked on the poster and the video presentation. I hope next time we will able to speak japanese well enough to explain our project.
This week, I'll continue game design and I will try to test NFC chips.
Universe seems to be confirmed now, so I've adapted almost all my game design ideas to fit a Japanese-style universe.
I've also started designing the first map of the game, that ill be used as a "teaching" map.
We have received the NFC Reader and some tags, I hope we will have some time to test them.
I'm also still working on my resume, but I have to focus a little more on this project this week : I really want to be able to show a paperboard demonstration next week.
I've worked on game design, but I need to have confirmation about which universe we will use.
I've started looking some NFC explainations, I think on monday and tuesday I'll do some test with the NFC reader.
I've also started working on my new resume because I want to find an internship in Japan.
This is my first post about our project with Nico and Alfred.
Since the presentation last tuesday, I've started by looking for a good NFC reader/writer device. When we will be sure about it, we will tell our choice to Prof. Mukaiyama.
I've also started writing a game concept for our project. It's starting to be more precise. I hope this project will be fun for Japanese people.
On a side note, I've started learning how to read and write hiragana. This is quite difficult for me, but I hope I will able to read and write hiragana and Katakana by the end of october.
Don't hesitate to teach me some japanese words !
