Chicopee Games Inc.

Last Wednesday [21th of October] after the GBL lecture, chicopee games inc. was holding a meeting. Together, we discussed new ideas. Ideas from which we thought they would be possible to realise, but also funny and smart. We determined to present the two most winning ones to M. Pivec.

Both games would be web applications [probably even for facebook.com] but the issues were quite different. We where happy to realise that M. Pivec was willing to accept our change of mind and support both concepts.

Each member of chicopee games inc. was working on the game. But in the end we had to face the fact that time we spend on creating the story was far too much. We recognised that if we would stick with this concept, we probably wouldn’t be able to finish the work until the end of the semester.

So we had a terrible choice to make: we could keep the giant concept of our game or we could try to find a new one. And that’s what we did. We realised that we had to make this choice now or never, because waiting too long was no possibility.

Last Friday [16th of October] chicopee games inc. decided to work on one of the two existing ideas. After the discussion with M. Pivec, none of us was really comfortable with the outcome. Even though the idea was interesting and had a useful concept – M. Pivec explained to us that the amount of work for designing the game would maybe be too much for the four of us.

However, we continued on planning the game, working on the concept, the learning outcome and the storyline.

Yesterday during our group discussion we presented our game ideas to each other. In the end we decided to work on two of the discussed ideas until friday where we planned to talk with M. Pivec about them. After that we are going to make a final agreement on which idea we will put into action.

Until monday (October 5th, 2009):

on Monday: Group Discussion

Once upon a time there were four students forming a group, for which they had to find a name.
Even inspired by other corporation names nothing suitable came to their mind.
After various discussions they decided to take a simple street name that all four of them liked. Therefore they used google maps. After some time they focused on the USA, where they found no street, but a city with a fabulous and awesome name. almost legendary: Chicopee, MA.

So they decided to drop their other ideas like Westerley, Sussex, WhizzKid Games, Halo Games and E-Joy Games.

From that day on they were only known as "Chicopee Games Inc.".

Group name: Chicopee Games Inc.
