Last saturday we saw the annual SUPINFOGAME open doors day. For us, it was the first time we were able to show Little Jurassic People to some visitors and gather some feedback.

The little demo we showed contained:

• A test map for solo play
• A completely reworked player movement system
• The entire HUD (inventory, customisation, communication)
• Our pictographic communication system, working
• Tree shake and falling apples
• Quite a lot of art assets
• Bucket loads of bugs!

Overall response was really positive despite the game being, at the moment, little more than some tech demo with no real player experience built in yet. Of course, the visual design really helped grab the attention of all the by-standers.

My hope is that what we showed and what we said about our exciting work on the project has convinced some people (and often, their parents) to pursue a career in the gaming industry.

On a side note, I added some additional information to the GAME DESIGN page about Little Jurassic People and my function on the project…check it out.
