Week 4: The Finishing Touches

Going into our final week, we laid out a set plan of what we needed to do. Mine and Gavin's task was to create the game's Instruction Manual, which seemed like a relatively easy task at the time. While the others were finishing their parts of the game such as the board's final design, tiles and cards, me and Gavin had to round up everybody's artwork to add to the manual to give it a more 'professional' feel. After this had been done, we started to write up our final refined set of rules in a theme and style fitting to our game. Use old-style text and language, I think we made a very believable booklet.

When the manual was complete, me and Gavin started to help Paul with putting the board and tiles together. Paul had previously printed the designs for them, so it made the process of sticking them to Mountboard an easy task. Once everything else was complete and put together, we came in and made a day of giving our game a final play-through to make sure everything worked as it should. We all had a great time, with some really tense moments and good laughs. We knew all the hard work had paid off at this moment. Now all we needed to do was create a document show each individual person's responsibilities and the processes of creating our board game.


The final result. Huzzah!
