studio-gameOn

Some random snaps of shapes in the State Library - once you get over the strange tufty grass, the building is extra-ordinary actually ..

We think it won a prize - perhaps someone could let us know - more pics of the trip over on our Flickr stream …

Okay … so, Mondo grass it is then … time to wander around and find the GAME ON exhibition itself and our nice ambassador person who is telling everone about the studio and collecting drawings and handing out leaflets ..

Notice the BLUE BOX - this is where you can put drawings and suggestion for the studio-gameOn design team - there is also a rumour that they accept pot noodles …  you can find the box and the ambassador on the second level of the SLQ ..

And studio-gameOn day 2 dawned in true QLD style - hmmm, nice to be inside with air conditioning actually! Today being the second day, time for the art team to head down to the state library to get some reference shots and do some drawing …

we arrive in the museum car park and make our way via the tunnel with the whales and the plane out to the library - we’re off to see the wizard … the group consist of Toby (in the yellow t-shirt), Liam, Abbey, Bow (James Bowman) and Clyde … our studio manager, Sheryl; came with us …

The first thing you notice when you reach the library is that bizarre tufty grass - Liam informs in a learned way that it is Mondo grass …

the whiteboard is fleshing out:

The team are busy working on 2 proposals - these boards show some of the brainstorming that has been going on … catch some of the ideas over on youtube

And the first day is almost gone! Everyone arrived bright and early this monring and they were all quickly presented with a store cupboard full of computers … oh - you mean we have to set it all up too?

OMG … no power cables?! Still it is now 3.00pm and the studio is all set up bar the network - the fabulous Mitch is away working on that one … and then we will once again be graced with the awesome Chen who will come and help fix up the webcams for the live stream…

And the Saturday before we open - two more sleeps and the studio is all go! The studio labelling has gone up ready for the team to arrive on Monday …

There are some really interesting discussions about potential game designs going on over on the studio forums and some inspirational art work contributed by people visiting the GAME ON exhibition at the SLQ …

The film crew should be at the studio all day on Monday, watching the team as they arrive and literally set up their working space - they all have to start by setting up the computers - and tables and chairs even! Still there should be a moment to raise a toast and launch the studio itself … six weeks - it seems like such a short time period to make a game in … !
