Brief

RESEARCH & PROCESS

WEEK 2 / 07.09.2022

Since we had our public holiday last week, this week we had a short briefing of our MIB and also the group project that we will be making.

Project conclusion:

- Recreate the UI of among us and or goose goose duck.

- Exercise: Do research about among us and goose goose duck.

- Proposal: Propose a new art direction with the same concept.

Then Ms. Anis gave us a seniors project as an example and divided us into groups.

Group:

- Luisa

- Abigail

- Cecilia

- Michelle

In a group, we were playing among us together for a better understanding of this game. We also divided our tasks and thought about what would we use for the proposal later.

Then our leader divided the task for all of us.

WEEK 3 / 14.09.2023

We had our very first presentation today.

Exercise One: Observation Findings by Group 2

After the presentation, Ms. Anis explained to us our next task.

Based on the initial findings, continue with the design process to determine the best stylisation for your re-make. Consider the project's limitation where the new art direction strategy does not alter the original narrative plots and game mechanics.

Determine the best stylisation to fit with the AMONG US narrative for your group to work on
Compile the factors for the stylisation range in Google Slide
Refer to the content in the lecture for details of factors to consider

Exercise 2: Perfect Visual Analysis.

Today, we had our first meeting to do Exercise 2. We decided on the theme, style, etc.

Fig. 1.18 / Exercise 2, Week 3 (19.09.2023)

Then compile everything into the presentation slides.

WEEK 4 / 21.09.2023

Before we start our presentation, Ms. Anis would like us to add more information about Must Have, Good to Have, and Nice to Have (referred to the previous slide).

Additional information
History of our design.

Cats and Humans are living together, however, Cats can't bear the stupidity of humans. They wanted to make a new world with the new system, which we call Revolutions. The only system that they want to keep is "slaving humans", such as humans cleaning their poop and giving them food.

On the other hand, Cats are bored with all the foods given by Humans. They wanted to explore more to other planets and new environments for inspiration. While on their journey, they had a birthday celebration.

Who is the impostor?

Among them, there are impostors whose birthdays were never celebrated before (envy), so they sneak between them and become the "clowns".

How to eject each of them?

By popping the balloons that they bring. When the balloon pops! The possesses will surprise, cry, and sulk.

How about the ghost mode?

When they're sulking, they've become introverts. They isolated themselves by hiding in a space-transparent capsule. They still can do their own tasks but other cats couldn't see them.

FEEDBACK

WEEK 3 / 17.04.2023

It's good that your group can come up with further exploration besides among us and goose goose duck. Well done!
