A couple weekends ago, I finally decided on a Project Idea for my Capstone. I'm going to be abstracting some of the goals, skills and such of the culinary arts into a card game. It'll focus around Mad Chefs (kinda like Mad Scientists) with a goal of matching your mixing bowl (or playing field) to the goal on the Dish Card (goal card). For 2-4 players. While I'd obviously like to focus on making the game fun, another big part of the project is going to be creating an art-style that fits the overall feel of the game (silly, mostly).
I recently had to put my timeline down on paper and my first thought was: SHIT. I'm a little behind from the get-go. While a lot of people have already begun working on their projects, I just picked mine out a week or two ago! Still, it really helped show me how much work I have ahead of me and how busy I need to start being. Since I'm making a card game, I'm trying to get most things accomplished a full month before presentations begin so that I can get a finished product in my hand and know whether or not I need to make some drastic changes or not. I'm assuming that a lot of things can (and possibly will) go wrong, so I'm just trying to allow for a little extra time for that. I actually started out my timeline by working backwards. I decided when I'd like to be finished with my project, and figured out what I'd have to accomplish each week in order to do that.
