This week we had a productive meeting with Dr. John. We talked about the actual submission for the module and some points in that which had changed. The biggest change was the removal of a formal presentation of the project and instead a proposal on a crowd funding site. My initial thoughts were positive, since I was very much not looking forward to a presentation of our project so this suited much better. I hadn't heard of these sites before but after Dr.John explained it to us it wasn't anything worse than I presumed. They are basically sites were people put up projects that require funding. Most of the sites have tools to propose a project nicely by including screenshots or videos and often including offering benefits to contributors. To me it definitely sounded like a good way for going about getting money for a project. Though in our case, we would definitely not be looking to actually get any funding from these kinds of sites since we have no plans of continuing with this project or any game related projects for at least a year or so. We were to include a couple of crowd funding proposals as part of our final submission, so we would look to make them up in the next couple of weeks. To ensure the unexpected doesn't happen we will set up our crowd funding projects fairly late on in the module and as soon as we get word on our marks we will remove the project proposals from the site to make sure nothing bad happens with people giving us money we don't plan to use.
Other than that we just went over a couple of other bits and pieces, we were really just advised to try work on as many different things that we could include in our final submission. So we will try think of as much as possible between the two of us. Our game is definitely quite weak, but we hope that we can make a good effort on the documentation side of things and be able to pass.
