To record our discussion about design ideas for our sketchbook tabs, which serves the function of helping players navigate through the different biomes and other categories we declared in the project proposal. We documented this process by creating a chat log covering factors such as define the appeal of the functional tabs and possible viability for the discussed method in the production making.

We provided a keycode for ourselves by the speech bubble’s colours:

• Pink representing Janle
• Green representing Yao

Summary

Through the discussion, we talked about the tab system on its functionality and placements.

We also brought up other issues we had about the sketchbook concept in our project proposal regarding the logical placement of the bookmark. Additionally, we took consideration into the contents on the front page of the sketchbook that would greet the players when they first open it.

Next Steps These queries all come down to taking trial and error into testing whilst gradually refining the core mechanics that the sketchbook holds. We will be experimenting with several approaches during future development…

• Either having the biomes tab on the top or right side of the book
• Possibility in utilising a content page of the biomes
• Viability in our creatures, structures & ruins subtabs to further categorise the section in each biome
• Having the first page when opened to be a spread page of random sketches that were drawn which would then lead to a categorised collection
• Use a custom cursor of a pen to mimic and increase the immersive feel that player is using the book
