This week we’ve met up 3 times. Last meeting we’ve all picked out a media that we wanted to work on. Me and Timon will be working together on the board game and the app.
During one of the meetups we did a brainstorm session and looked around for some inspiration. We wanted to make something along the lines of the already existing board game called “Game of the Goose”. Its build in a way that makes you go around in circles to the center of the board game.
When we agreed the idea to make something like that we made a quick sketch. We wanted to make some sort of layered board game so the kids had to “climb up” to get to the top.
This was the first “concept idea” we had. But as cool as it may look we found out that it isn’t ideal. The rings on the sides are kind of steep so if you move the pawn you will probably fall off of the board game.
We also had this idea to build a portal on top of it. So the board game, the story, animation etc. would all match up with each other. We do want to make it interactive by using a arduino, a press button and some LED-lights.
It’s still in the very first stadium of the process so we have a lot to think about.
