This month's prototype is to be made using HTML5. I was really excited with the technology and was looking forward to the clients and my team. There were 2 clients, one of which wanted a game based on Shoshone and the other was the psychiatry department which wanted a game to help autistic young adults.
My team was Zack (Producer), Jake (Who wanted to do art this time), Max (Engineer) and me (Engineer of course!).
The first week and good part of the next was full of brainstorming and physical playtesting. We brainstormed and then decided a card game would be a good way to create a game based on conversation. And we named it .. CONVERSE! Also, Our game was chosen to be featured on Utah News Break by Matt Jensen who would be filming our team's progress the entire month. Cool!
The playtesting was very critical to the project. We managed to try out many ideas and tried to find out what elements of the ideas made the game fun. Once we got a hang of what we wanted as a game, we started the coding process.
Me and Max started with the coding. Max is a code demon. I thought it best to help him and compliment his work and I guess it worked very well. I was able to contribute portions of game and integrated it with Max's code. Roger also helped us out by providing valuable suggestions, like to introduce a money management system instead of using swag to buy stuff.. etc.
By the 3rd week beginning, the game was pretty much done. And we playtested it a lot with friends and family. We got a lot of feedback and we incorporated most of it. We also found out proper values for game items and also tinkered with environment cards. The game was initially too difficult, but after a while, it was balanced.
Finally, on the 4th week the game was ready and Zack did a great presentation to the clients. They were highly impressed. They eventually offered us an internship in the summer if their dept gets funds to fund us. We would be only too happy to do the same.
The game is hosted on the following link. Play it if you get time!

I'm amazed, I must say. Seldom do I come across a blog that's both equally educative and amusing, and without a doubt, you've hit the nail on the head. The issue is something too few people are speaking intelligently about. Now i'm very
happy I came across this during my hunt for something concerning this.

Hi! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing
months of hard work due to no back up. Do you have any methods to
protect against hackers?
