We are SeptoBunny, a team working with Electronic Arts\u2019 O\u001effice of the Chief Creative O\u001ecer to create a gol\u001fng game for Connected TVs. Our team includes designer and artist Lucien Chen, programmer Davis Dong, gameplay programmer and designer Frank Hamilton, animator Momo Jiao, character and environment artist Sahana Vijai, producer David Wegbreit, and UI\/UX artist Key Wu.<\/p>\n
In our \u001ffirst week we began learning about our platform\u2014a system that streams games from a server to set top box and uses a tablet as a controller and our game genre. We brainstormed over sixty diff\u001derent ideas for gofi\u001fng and connected TV games and refi\u001fned these down to \u001ffive best ideas, which we consolidated into three core ideas.<\/p>\n
In the second week we presented these ideas to one of our client representatives. One centered around arcade-style action, something casual players could learn easily and get excited about. Another centered around strange physics and challenging puzzles. We pitched it as \u201cInception golf\u201d. Our fi\u001fnal idea was a series of features we could add to or improve on in a traditional golf game.<\/p>\n
Following our presentation, we began a kind of pre-production, digging into a code and art base we would be building upon. At the same time we began refi\u001fning our three core ideas, drafting and sorting potential features for each game.<\/p>\n
In the week ahead, we will present our three concepts to the Offi\u001ece of the Chief Creative O\u001efficer. By mid-week, we hope to know which of the three games (or which combination of their features) our client would like. From here, we will establish a plan for an Alpha release in week seven or eight.<\/p>\n
