Play (a game to be determined later)…
Research greyboxing techniques for your game engine of choice. Note that greyboxing is also known as “grayboxing” or “whiteboxing”. Choose on of the techniques you researched and greybox a very simple level, just enough to get you familiar with how the tools feel to be used.
Follow the criteria above to make a poster that summarizes your findings. Be sure to include your name, the name of your engine, the name of the technique, and your impression of the experience.
Be ready to demonstrate and discuss your greyboxed project in today’s meeting.
Before the meeting, submit a link to your repository on Canvas.
Before the end of our meeting, you will complete and submit a prototype report. It will include the following:
Watch Joe Baxter-Webb’s Indie Game Clinic video on ideation methods. Choose any one of the techniques he mentions and try it. Document your results in a poster.
The poster should be on letter or legal paper. Write large enough that the text is clearly legible from twenty feet away. Make sure the poster includes your name, the name of the technique you used, and the result. Experimenting with colors and illustrations is encouraged. We will put all the posters on the front whiteboard for discussion.
