 Milestone 9

Hours Spent: 16 hours

This week I spent a lot of it working on getting all the sound finished up. There was a lot of small sound effects that I found but had to edit to fit it to how we want it. Same with the music, I chopped it up a little bit more and tried to get it to be just how we wanted it. The dialogue was also quite a lot of work, I had to remove a lot of background noise from the VA which was difficult since some of it was people and that made it so that the denoise didn't just remove it automatically. We also wanted to test a version of a more "Godlike" sounding character, so some reverb and other tweaks to the audio. This took a while as I haven't done much sound editing in my time, and what I had done was pretty basic and I wanted it to sound just right. I also continued to optimize some models, and made a couple more versions of some different ones.

The biggest challenge this week was definitely doing the "Godlike" dialogue. It was a lot of work to really get it to sound good. There were so many settings that I didn't know what they did and not very much information online on how to do something like this. So I spent a lot of time figuring out what the settings do, and then changing it so that it sounded better. There were difficulties all the way up until the end, and we may not even use that version of the audio but it's good to have in case we decide to use it. 

The biggest success this week was having everything working in VR. All the optimization managed to work so we got the VR version running without lag and that is a huge positive that gave us a good boost in morale to keep going and really get as much done as possible. We're really happy with where we are now, and I think the continuation of the path we're on will result in a really good final product. 



The final different dialogue files split by color.

 Milestone 2 - Selecting an Idea Hours Spent: 2.5h This week we really wanted to narrow down our ideas from the large list, to maybe a more specific idea that our group as a whole thought was good. Our first step was eliminating all of the ones that nobody was hugely interested in so we held a little vote session where we had three votes each to put into the different ideas and we managed to narrow it down to around five ideas. We had a few choices that we felt were better as modifiers rather than whole ideas, for example the escape room could be combined with a larger idea to really strengthen an idea. The most difficult task was removing ideas we thought were good but just didn't think were plausible or felt a little too vague of an idea.  So this brought us down to even less ideas until we finally settled on one idea that ALL of us had voted for which was that YOU are the art. You create your character and from there we are going to expand on ideas once we get our idea chec...

 Milestone 4 - Getting Started     Hours Spent: 10 hours           To get started this milestone I worked on a lot of things. including the Alpha presentation, really narrowing ideas down with the group. I managed to get a little bit of a jump on getting some information on what the music is going to sound like and how I can go about creating that. We also managed to cast a voice actor to play our singularity, Gea.      First off with the Alpha presentation, creating it went pretty smoothly. We were just finishing up the proposal document, so a lot of the information wasn't new and it was just being transferred over from that, which was pretty easy. Our biggest challenge on that was how many other things we had to finish so we didn't have much time to practice. Luckily for me memorizing scripts isn't too hard, but we didn't have time to practice so it was a bit of a kerfuffle for presenting as a group.      Secon...

  Milestone 1 (Brainstorming)         Creating a VR art gallery. What would be different between a normal art gallery and a VR art gallery, and what is really considered art? What type of art do we want to include. We think that art is very subjective so we decided to really spread out our ideas to be all sorts of different things. Here are some of the ideas I came up with and why I thought they would be good ideas... Visualized Music:      Music is such a phenomenal form of art. Imagine a movie or game with no music, it wouldn't be the same. The amount of immersion you can get from music alone is phenomenal, so I think that visualizing music in VR could be one of the most interesting and immersive ways to make an art gallery. It's very different from a normal art gallery as it's visualizing music which you wouldn't really be able to do in general. It's different and it can be beautiful.  Choose Your Own Adventure Gallery:  ...
