Today was the first time I got to interact with my supervisor and the whole team. They were really friendly during the meeting.

The meeting was to discuss a seminar called "JOM MAIN GAME' based on the program of THE GAME FESTIVAL@UTeM that will be held on 23/7/2021. The web-seminar is mainly to raise awareness about the gaming industry especially E-sports nowadays.

The main agenda of the meeting is to plan the game project. Sir Nazreen explained in detail what he had in mind for this project. It is decided that we will be creating a casual online board game similar to Mario Party and Pummel Party.

The game will be turn-based and each move is decided by throwing the dice. The ultimate goal is to get a Star and in order to do so, the players need to have enough in-game currency (Coins) to buy the Star once they reach the slot. At the end of each round in Pummel Party, there would be a mini-game section where players would compete for items. But instead of doing mini-games after each round, there would be a trivia quiz in which players could gain points. There will be a leaderboard for the number of stars, points, and coins collected.

I was assigned to find board game templates online and continue the project from there. Another thing is we needed to find a way to collaborate in real-time, a version-control software or extension.
