Hey guys, one final thing abt the stickers, wud u guys wanna have matt material or transparent shiny material for the stickers? Matt is a little cheaper, but quality mite not be as good. I have example of matt designs at home, but i wont be seeing u guys until monday...n i dun think waiting till mon to decide is a good idea, cuz it'll take the company 7days to process the order and atleast 2days to get it bak to aus. So what do u guys think?
Right now the cost is 100HKD (15AUD- 1pp) for 500pcs of matt quality. If we get the transparent shiny ones, itll be 350HKD (60AUD- $5pp) for 10000pcs. With that, if we estimate the mailin fee is $400HKD (66AUD), then it shud be abt 5.2(postage per person)

Sticker designs are looking great guys: Comments inc
QR Code for Sticker and Poster design??
From Wikipedia:
A QR Code is a matrix code (or two-dimensional bar code) created by Japanese corporation Denso-Wave in 1994. The "QR" is derived from "Quick Response", as the creator intended the code to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed. QR Codes are common in Japan, where they are currently the most popular type of two dimensional codes. Moreover, most current Japanese mobile phones can read this code with their camera.
Although initially used for tracking parts in vehicle manufacturing, QR Codes are now used in a much broader context, including both commercial tracking applications and convenience-oriented applications aimed at mobile phone users (known as mobile tagging). QR Codes storing addresses and URLs may appear in magazines, on signs, buses, business cards or just about any object that users might need information about. Users with a camera phone equipped with the correct reader software can scan the image of the QR Code causing the phone's browser to launch and redirect to the programmed URL. This act of linking from physical world objects is known as a hardlink or physical world hyperlinks. Users can also generate and print their own QR Code for others to scan and use by visiting one of several free QR Code generating sites.
So basically its just like a barcode, but you can just take a picture of it and it'll automatically opens a url, phone number, sms or any text on your mobile phone (QR code reader software needed, but its pretty common now.)
This could be interesting if used for the poster and sticker design. What do u guys think? is it too late now?

NOMINAL ROLE
Troy says we will discuss the implications of copyright and crossing the sensitivity line of the public in class. Major problem we are having atm is in regards to the nominal role, we are thinking of maybe restricting it only to monash.. but this will be discussed on monday.
So web team, there probably wont be any data for it till after monday.

WEB TEAM
Herrooo!
This is just an update for what the web team is doing. We've split web assets to marketing of the game Incursion and actual Incursion game content.
MARKETING
We're hoping to bombard the crap of Incursion using just the logo and branding.
-Facebook Group
-Twitter posts
-incursion.com.au
Only contains video? or at this first stage just the logo.
GAME CONTENT
- incursion.com.au
Main rabbit hole
- WW2 Nominal Role (Laura)
Hoping to buy another domain name? And still researching to do that search form thing. :)
- Family Tree (*content team)
On a blogger site but changed layout enough so it doesnt look like just a blog?
- Wiki entry
Information about platoon?
- Operations site/ Fan Blog (Kristian)
Army fanatic's blog and his own record of different army operations. Players access his blog to find out more about the mission.
- Cloudmakers-esque site (*Soul)
A site where we'll set up players hints and stuff. Like how cloudmakers did for A.I. Launched later on in the game just in case players don't get all our clues.
For next week we should have layouts if not all html-ed up, so we can just launch on monday. Also reminder to Roger to make the blog private. I tried but i dont think i can do it.
Enjoyyy!

synopsis
PRESENTATION - INCURSION
Just waiting on the sound file and mood board. If they could be posted that would be great.
Also Rebecca if u want to make the synopsis sound more technical for the presentation go for it, I lack your military expertise!!
CONCEPT - INCURSION
SYNOPSIS
Our narrative begins with the leakage of a video transmission. This footage consist of a naval officer in the midst of being attacked. In his rush and panic he identifies naval id and unit operation name. It ends abruptly with an explosion in which we understand that the particular soldier is dead.
This soldier is John Doe I, code name Little Fox. He was an Australian Naval officer based in operations mainland defense unit off the coast of Victoria. He had an older bother Philip Doe, code name Bog Fox, who was also in the same unit.
The unit that these two officers were in were set up as a naval mainland defense base. However the unit became corrupt and began to aid the japanese and were planning on allowing an infiltration of their based, so the Japanese could set up operations within Australia.
Philip was all for the plan, bought over by the promise of power and money, his brother John, however, was not so easily bought. While the unit made correspondence and plans for Japan infiltration, via underwater mini sub, john covertly planned to sabotage the operation.
This is where the first snippet of footage, which u heard as the audio track comes in. John sealed the base in an explosion on the day of the invasion preventing the Japanese from obtaining a secret launching ground for their forces. Killing himself and any of the other in his unit. His brother however is one of the only survivors.
The unit corruption was kept quiet by the government, as they didn't want to severe ties with the Allied forces and want the world to learn about how easily their defense forces were infiltrated and bought over.
Years later, regretful and remorseful for his treacherous actions which lead to the death of his brother, Philip wants to the truth to come out so his brother can be recognized as the true hero he deserves to be. Hence Philip begins to leak the information that he secretly so no to incriminate himself.

Big City Score Logo Draft + Theme Draft + Web Draft
Roger,
I also made a color scheme, logo, blog draft etc.. i am doing the forum design atm..
Download vector file (.ai cs4):
http://www.kawedesign.com/uni/bcs.zip
Ok thats great, we will use that for the Big City Score website. But we really need a mock up of a fake police website, where the users view the video clues, and use the forum to figure out what targets the robbers are going for. You should base this on a existing real police website, but use the fake "big city police deparment" logo, and the colour scheme.
Some points for design :

Big City Score (Cops & Robbers)
Big city Score!
Based on grid of Melbourne players place cops and defenses on a virtual grid, corresponding to a real life playing field where robbers are trying steal something.
there are three groups. Robbers, Cops and online cops. the "players" will be the online cops the robbers and ground cops will be made up of our third year group and maybe some extras if we need the manpower.
the games starts by informing the players" of a tip off that something in Melbourne is going to be stolen. this will link them to the website with the map and locations of possible targets. the "players" are encouraged to make an account and sift through the clues that are available. there will be video clues narrowing down which items that the robbers are going after.
there is a forum which the "players" can discuss possible locations and relay information they get from the clues. as the day of the hiest gets closer the volume of clues will increase and be more succinct as to where the targets are located.
Also at the disposal of the "players" are a number of police ground troops. the interactive map is a voting system that the players click to vote where they want police deployed. this will be relayed on the day of the event. the police will head out to these locations for the start of the game.
Robbers are not allowed to use public transport as the robbers will be recognised by surveilance cameras. ground forces cannot afford a metcard on the day. lol
All of this is a lead up to the actual event of the hiest!
The hiest time and date are provided in week one of the game comencing. on that day the information gathered from the prievious weeks will be used by the "players" to try and stop the robbers from stealing the item. this event will place the "players" in the control room on the day. the control room will have a game board and the location of the item being stolen. they will have Mobile/ walkie talkie contact with the police ground force to coordinate the defence. the police can radio in for help if they see a robber, and this information is past on to the players. to assist in defence aswell. the control room can contact the police ground force to infromt them where to head.
Things to do.

Monash Symboligist Club idea
underground resistance group/club
secret codes

posters, website, vdos (youtube), forum
clue in wiki
hobo chalk lang?
reason for conflict?
Storyline
From WWII soldiers found "sth", needed to hide it, hid it in a piece of land which later became monash caulfield. This "sth" holds the key to find the "leader" of the club, who holds the ultimate secret to the "group of eight". The underground resistance is split into two groups. The traditional group wants to keep the "key" unknown as a secret, but the modern group wants to make the club known and decides to leak out information for the public to locate the "key". But ultimately, only the leader of the group ("chosen one") knows about the final symbol to the secret behind Monash University.
"sth": secret behind group of eight. To outsiders, the group of eight represents prestigious uni, but theres a dark secret behind it; relate to money issue. where did that money come from??
ideas for the "sth"
-rubbix cube that can be opened with secret message in coded language
-a printed message on a rock at the caulfield grassfield
- a sticker on items to give clues that lead to next point.
ideas for linking

Confuzzled
Hey guys!
just clearing up some confusion an for those guys who couldnt make it on tuesday.
so we developed the bunch of ideas we had and narrowed it down to 3 rough ideas.
to make it easier on all of us and get better ideas on one idea rather then try and come up with ideas for all 3. weve decided to break everyone up into groups.
we focus on one idea in smaller groups so we can get further developed ideas
on thursday. we need finalised ideas by the end of the meeting. then we can separate into our original groups video, print an such an work on them.
hope that clears up that...

Rabbit Hole Idea
Could be a bit off topic but as a rabbit hole idea while giving players a clue.
It's basically the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory idea with the golden ticket. But we hide it in one of the boxes of chocolate that we're going to be selling to fundraise for the exhibition!
:)
Conspiracy Theory Plot
I hope this summary helps
Email and/or Blue Tooth Delivery of Video and Sound Media “distress call”
Included in delivery: Name of soldier and a Web site.
Web site to war veterans, Profile of soldiers, Link to Soldier and mention of him being MIA
Links to historical data: operation names, covert ops, base names (all separate Links)
Leads to consolidate that this person is missing, they were partaking in unusual activity and was stationed at a particular base.
Link to national parks site, cave attraction is the same name as the base.
Unlock more footage: falsified documents of a secret base.
Government sites with historical information.
Find location of graveyard. Plot name.
Medical records to determine natural death the ‘leaked footage’ was from private operations
Examples:
Meeting Thursday
Troy said he can make it at 1:00pm only for 30 mins. hope thats ok, if anyone wants to meet up earlier to organise ourselves im up for that.

Hey guys, since i wont be able to make it for tmr, i'll post up my ideas here.
I dont know if anyone has heard of the anime, Hunter x Hunter. Basically the story revolves around a kid trying to find his father and he undertakes an exam to become a "hunter". When one becomes a hunter in this world, he/she receives many benefits that normal citizens dont have, such as staying in any country without a passport, borrowing large sum of money from banks, allow access to many places that normal citizens cannot (ex, govt secret places). Then after the completion of the exam, he/she is also granted access to a virtual world of a game called "Greed Island". The player goes into this virtual world and everything seems very real, except when the player interacts with the npc, the npc can only answer yes/no questions, and one must complete a certain task inorder to activate the npc. Then as the story goes on, the character continues to complete tasks and collects game cards by capturing animals and monsters in the battlefield. Sorta like Monster Hunter. Also, in the Hunter's world, they have their own encrypted language.
So for the idea, i was also thinking of something similar.
we can create a world that also has its own language. In order to become a part of this world, the user must participate and pass in a test/exam within the game we've created online. This game will have practices and allow the user to learn the new language we've introduced. Besides that, we'll also have a website setup with detailed information about our world. So we're kinda like creating a secret underworld society thing...with our own language and stuff. The user must also sign up to our website inorder to gain access to the login portal to the "world", "news update", etc etc. We can create interactions among users by incorporating elements such as "trading" and certain tasks might require two ppl to complete it. For trading, we can create trading cards or small objects (key items to fulfill tasks). oh oh...btw, once the person becomes a member, we can deliver a membership card to them either via email or in real by post. Adding a forum to the website would also be good for users to share info and ask for help aswell.
Let me know what you guys think about this idea.

Then as the story goes on, the character continues to complete tasks and collects game cards by capturing animals and monsters in the battlefield. Sorta like Monster Hunter. Also, in the Hunter's world, they have their own encrypted language.
So for the idea, i was also thinking of something similar.
we can create a world that also has its own language. In order to become a part of this world, the user must participate and pass in a test/exam within the game we've created online. This game will have practices and allow the user to learn the new language we've introduced. Besides that, we'll also have a website setup with detailed information about our world. So we're kinda like creating a secret underworld society thing...with our own language and stuff. The user must also sign up to our website inorder to gain access to the login portal to the "world", "news update", etc etc. We can create interactions among users by incorporating elements such as "trading" and certain tasks might require two ppl to complete it. For trading, we can create trading cards or small objects (key items to fulfill tasks). oh oh...btw, once the person becomes a member, we can deliver a membership card to them either via email or in real by post. Adding a forum to the website would also be good for users to share info and ask for help aswell.
Let me know what you guys think about this idea.
