Week 7

not  much new this week, just preparing for and supporting other departments projects. I've been going through the contact info i'm responsible for checking and designing a carnival game for the halloween party, as well as preparing for the first keynote presentation. I've made it through about 60 contacts at this point, and plan to be finished soon. the game i'm designing will be a shooting gallery game where the player must hit monsters and avoid humans, using a nerf gun. I’ll build a frame and run a couple of dowel rods between it. On those rods I will attach small posts with target pictures on them and strings on the bottom. The strings will be used to pull the targets upright so the player can shoot them. It’s proving a little hard to keep together, so I will be coming up with a backup plan in case it does not work out. I’ve received replies from about half of the first batch of people I emailed asking for an update, and once I present the first choices I’ll be able to follow up with the most popular ones to offer them the keynote speaker position for this year’s conference.
