For developing my own character, I remade a character rather than use the “clown model” that I developed before. This would be an octopus that has some similarity in design in terms of the eyes being “x” and the overall creepy vibe. I rendered it to have lavender surface which is more mysterious to capture the vibe of this character.
As of Wednesday 1:00 AM, the model has not been fully printed yet so I have not posted it on this blog.
Update: it has been printed, but the head fell off due to printer malfunction. I do like the aesthetic so I’m happy with this result.
PROJECT 4:
For Project 4, I plan on creating a board game revolving around communication interaction between the players to create the playing experience. As the central theme for the final project is isolation, I wish to create a game that will be for preventing isolation and allow for socialization. This is due to my belief that boardgames shouldn’t separate people, but they should improve relations between people.
“I’m the Boss!” is a board game that is one inspiration for my board game as it is a model game that revolves around negotiation between all players where all of them can participate in the game all the time. They have interactions of communication in which players can select other players to cooperate with in terms of money. This informs my project to be one that allows for cooperation to dissolve isolation between people. Link: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/115/im-boss
“Three Kingdoms” is another board game that is an inspiration for my board game as it is a model of having different characters with different attributes, allowing for variating gameplay and more options of gameplay. This type of game has people in unknown teams where they have to cooperate in order to win for themselves or their team. This informs my project to possibly include more types of characters.

The intended user would be NYUSH university students where I wish to create a board game that can be played in the community and allow for new friendships to spawn. Rather than to isolate someone, I want to bring everyone out of isolation, to meet new people, and interact with their peers. The experience of playing would then to be to interact. Of course, some people may be more introvert such as myself, but I wish to make the playing experience exciting and enjoyable for them too by making the connections and conversations between people more organic during gameplay.
For the digital techniques, I plan on doing 3d modeling and illustration to create the game pieces which may include cards, or game boards. As for analog techniques, I may be looking into creating the color of the characters (if they are 3d printed) with paint, as well as creating the packaging for the work. I will also look into creating the game with my hand through constructing it myself rather than utilizing a vendor.
