Weekly project meeting notes & ideas



talk to Dan tonight about:

emerging idea.... its a collection of small games, held together with a visual style.
navigating all the games... the traditional game style is you unlock the next level... we could present a map ... click on an element and you go to that game. we could think about a centralizing motif that hold all the small games together?
animals around a - waterhole ? Something much more designy? A large coloured pie chart - click on a pie wedge to play that game?

visual styles
full illustration vs vector vs hand drawn

marketing
visual styles must be about marketing...
adults perception of innocence - adults buy the apps.
build something we can redo with North American animals, then Latin American animals, etc

The games
We should define our audience pretty soon... it will have a huge impact on what sort of games we design. Especially the age!
These sketches include a flip the card game, a catch the falling drop bear game, a 'make your way through a maze' game, a drag the correct animal onto the random food source game...
Could also have a 'what animal makes this noise?' game (kookaburras, thumping kangaroos)
