Week 12

PROJECT PROGRESS | 22-24 March 2021


This week, we are having our VR workshop. During the workshop, I have understood how to build a VR game from the beginning and it took quite some time to learn as I didn't know much about unity. To create the project there is two software to learn which is a unity to build the environment, and cinema 4D to create the 3D object of the VR game. There is some problem where I come across, whereas some of the function would need #C Script and from there I am having a difficult time figuring out how it's work.

While learning how to create the VR game, I am also working on the character "Evil Magician" and do some research and experiment on how to improve the environment of the game. Coming out with two sketches of the environment to see which is more interesting and also listing out the food and asset that is needed in the game. 

Asset list:
- Building 
- Food Stall 
- Character 
- Information stand
- Cashier counter

As for the food, I would be creating a food base on Malaysian culture which you would see types of food that would appear in the Malaysia food festival. For example, nasi lemak, satay (chicken, beef, and lamb skewers), dried beef curry, burger, pizza, dim sum, etc. The natural advantages of multiculturalism and ethnicity have varieties of special cuisine in Malaysia. (Malaysian Food Festival 2020 on 10 September 2020, Kunming - News From Mission - Portal, 2021) Malaysia has similar dishes from other Southeast Asian countries, mostly flavoured with pepper and curry that known for its spiciness, sweetness, and sourness. Why food festival? It serves as a platform for the cultural expression of traditional food and agricultural traditions. Festival celebrations promote communal harmony. 

VR Workshop
In the progress, I have also face some difficulty which is some parts need coding.


Figuring out how to add the click and add to cart function. This would need # C Script to create the function. It took me some time to understand how it works. 



Prototype Documentation Template
After I have done with the first website prototype 01 usability test, I have started documenting the test. It shows how the user responds to the prototype and what they think about the functionality of the product. This allows me to analyse how to improve the website.

Final Project Planning Phase
This week, I have also done some planning for the overall final project. This allows me to have a clearer direction on which to complete first and to manage my time.

For the environment, I have done some research on how to create a Food Festival that would attract the user to play the VR game. Both of the environment art styles would be in low poly. The difference between the two research is to see which is more fun and interesting to attract people in playing the game.

There, I have listed out what I have learned throughout the prototype that I had created.  Project Prototype Documentation I have also done the documentation of the prototype, the documentation is for documenting the prototype process that I had done. This, I had also documented the things that I learned from the prototype that I created.  3029MAPA CW1 Prototype Documentation by ABBY LIEW MAY XING on Scribd Presentation Slide Presentation slides that I had prepared.

  PROJECT PROGRESS   | 05-07 April 2021 This week, I would be continuing working on the VR Game and also sketches of the character storyboard. In the progress of building the food festival, I have noticed that the environment is a bit empty. Therefore, I have started placing tree from the free asset store. It is to make the environment closer to nature. The food festival will be held in a park where people from all around the world would enjoy a sunny day with a clean environment. Why is it a park? It is because the park has lots of tree and grass surrounding the environment and when in the colour blind world the colour of green and red would appear as yellow and blue. This would allow the players to experience what it looks like in a world without green and red.   VR Working Progress Image 01 Image 02 Image 03 To solve the lighting on the right of the food stalls, I have decided to lower down the wall and also work on the entry of the food festival.  Image 04 ...

   PROJECT PROGRESS   | 19-21 April 2021 This week, I will be working on the VR Game progress, high fidelity prototype 01, high fidelity prototype 02, character bubble speech and button design. I have researched the button design before started on designing the button. Moving on, I have also done some experimenting on the bubble speech to let the audience have the mood to play the game. To add the character story inside, I have done some character animation at the beginning of the VR Game to create excitement for the audience.  VR Working Progress Character Button / Speech bubble  Game Button Research by ABBY LIEW MAY XING on Scribd High Fidelity Prototype 01 High Fidelity Prototype 02
