Game Jam Week: Day One

Welcome to the first post in what could be many documenting the game we make over the coming week. The GameJam is running at Glasgow Caledonian University and is organised be our much beloved lecturer Brian McDonald.

The idea of the jam is to pick a input device or platform to develop for that we have never worked with before. The idea will help us expand our thought process and learn to work to certain constrictions that may come with our platform. Our team has chose to use Microsoft's Kinect and implement the gestures that are available through this medium.

The basic idea of the game is to have planet that you can manipulate and influence through various gestures. These gestures would then influence the population and resources in the world with the aim of the game being that you maintain an equilibrium across the earth.

From their we aim to develop and elaborate on our ideas but as it stands we are in the pre-planning stages and are making a basic mock up of the screen. So stay tuned for more news. There is even a little sneak peak at what we have planned down below.
