It would be good to try to see how you could improve the cards the players had trouble with during David's playtest, yes. The idea is not to make a lot of iterations over this now, but it's more an opportunity to give you some time to reflect on the feedback and try a few changes. What the changes should be is up to you - just try to take into account the feedback and see what you could try to improve. > Tomorrow we would have the approval of all cards that don't need to be > modified, who's going to make this decision? :) David and I. But it shouldn't be too much of an issue imho, we'll get other opportunities to improve the cards further once the game is released. Personally, as long as you take the feedback into account and make a few changes accordingly, I will be ok with it - the goal is not to be perfect, but more to start the process to integrate feedback from the players - it's easy to do it now since the cards are only sketches, so it's a perfect opportunity. > Based on what I did untill now for the cards, it takes me about 3 > hours to finish each one of them.

That's fine with me - it shouldn't delay the project, as it doesn't change the date at which Illya will receive the site design. So unless someone sees an issues that I didn't see, I think we can go for this. Thanks for warning early about the delay! Here is the updated schedule: = Cards schedule = * Aug 26-Sept 6: Deborah progressively send cards on the mailing-list as they are designed, to get feedback and comments (she remains in charge of the content of the cards and their consistency though) * Sept 7th: Delivery of the set of 36 card sketches (7*5+1) * Sept 8th: Approval of 9 of the 36 cards * Sept 8th-Sept 12th: Play tests * Sept 11th: Delivery of a first set of 9 finalized cards * Sept 13th-Sept 14th: Based on the results of the play tests, decision on whether modifications are necessary or not. Approval of all cards that don't need to be modified to allow Deborah to start working on finalizing them * Sept 16th: Delivery of changes on the cards sketches, if any * Sept 23rd: Delivery of finalized version of all approved cards = Game interface schedule = * Sept 13th: Delivery of the game interface of *one* screen by Deborah * Sept 14th-Sept 16th: Comments on the interface design by all, modifications & validation * Sept 16th: Delivery of the fully functional game by Illya and Gary. * Sept 17th-Sept 19th: Review of the released version, comments & bug reports (especially the ones about the layout, to allow Deborah to work based on the correct layout) * Sept 20th: Illya fixes all bugs/issues relative to the interface layout, to allow Deborah to start working on the design based on the application screens * Sept 21th: Review of fixes. If ok, Deborah starts working on the rest of the game interface screens * Sept 26th: Delivery of the design for all game screens by Deborah * Sept 30th: Delivery of the design integration by Illya Xavier. _______________________________________________ Hackit Bar mailing list - [email protected] Wiki: http://community.hackit.cx/ List: http://community.hackit.cx/ml/ Forum: http://community.hackit.cx/forum/ Ideas: http://community.hackit.cx/ideas/ IRC: irc://irc.freenode.net/#politis
