Clara came by and commented on our project.

Philip brought us some games to try today. Our producer tried the GameCube ones while I tried the DS. The producer asked me to note the things and basic mechanics into notes. For today, I only tried out 2 games. However, the second games seems promising so I show it to our producer and he liked the mechanics. He motivate me to play mroe games now.

The game I tried today has a sort of point and click and able to alter the consequences of choices, whici is promising.

there were some sort of heated disussion and debate today where voice is being raised and all. It was quite scary actually, but I guess I had to get used to it since if 10 people are being squeezed in 1 tiny room and we had little chance to get a turn to talk where everyone keep interupting each other, this will happen.

Our designer was not feeling well today, so she went to doctor with Marleigh in the noon. She went back soon after.

Our programmer has finished making the digital mock up to show the mock up interface and the game mechanics of realtime. We showed it to the client and she seems satisfied. However we had to postpone our internal mock up as there are not enough preparation.

There were heated discussions again today... it was quite bad today as I did not manage to find correct time to butt in ( I just do not want to be rude, but apparently I think I need to be rude at times to get a turn to speak up). When i finally get my turn, I had waited 15 minutes and forgot half of the things I want to say. But since some of them apologised I was rather satisfied.

Playing those games for research appeared useful, I can use some of the mechanics to be applied for our games. Our producer seems satisfied and encouraged me to play more games.

As for dinner I got some Dunkin Donuts at Galleria, it was too bad we do not have time to shop there as last bus was leaving at 6.40 PM ( we finished dinner at around 6. 25 PM)

There are some presentation about estimation today from Philip. Just a short lecture to teach us to manage time and to plan better and not to make empty promises/impossible plans.

Our writer finished with the mock up dialogue, so we decided to prototype it today. We discussed on the ways to present it for tomorrow. After some long discussion we decided to just test play it.

Our artist (arist not artists) shown us some promising concept art. The audio person also come with soothing melody which is very nice. I am quite happy that he is pleased with my comments that he think is pretty constructive.

I manage to actually teach one of the artists a very basic tutorial of flash.

We tested our prototype, i apparently seems playable in digital format but not presentable in paper format, so we will scrap that and just show our digital mock up for green light meeting. We will show our dialogue branch if they ask for it.

jet want us to make a second life account for Friday's second life convention meeting. So i used the office computer and borrowed my friend account to use.

there are nothing much today, i just went to buy some marvel comics and thats all.. oh.. and Kids Ben & Jerry ice cream cone for dinner.
