Communication Lab 6
Game Treatment Draft

1. (10 minutes) Instructors talk about your Game Treatment, which will be your website for this course.

   The game treatment:

   • expands upon your concept doc
   • provides backstory, screenshots, level layouts
   • (CIS 300 specific) downloads for source, other documents, link to blog, group charter, all contributors and their roles

   More info? Refer to lecture notes (Lecture 5, panel 6) and examples of industry games.

2. (40 minutes) Design/set up skeleton of website.

   Setting up of your site...no password/user protected sites! (Souleater...)

   • Cornell: http://www.people.cornell.edu/
   • other hosts OK, but again NO RESTRICTED ACCESS

What to submit:

• "Draft version" (site available, skeleton, group charter, link to Blog) due by next communication lab (Tue 3/15 or Fri 3/18). On CMS, submit a text file that contains the link to your website.

• "Interim version" (complete version of game treatment, though material will be work-in-progress) due by 2nd communication lab from now (Tue Mar 3/29 or Fri Apr 1). Nothing to submit on CMS

• "Final version" (everything) by Sun 5/1. We will post your current treatment on GDIAC's gallery page. So, we must have a complete version to host (you can see what happens when we don't by visiting some of the older gallery links!) You will be allowed to submit updated material after the showcase, even after the semester. (We don't have our own server...yet...so you would need to submit disks for us to upload.) Nothing to submit on CMS.
