Final Project Team 9: Scaffolding Progress Review

Concept - Final Fantasy I

Our controller is based off a tome inspired by the Final Fantasy franchise, modelled after Final Fantasy 1 specifically. The controller uses an accelerometer to control left/right inputs, two buttons on the front cover for up/down, a potentiometer on the back cover for confirm/cancel, and two light sensors under two different pages for the party and main menus. When the book is opened, and a page is flipped, that menu will open. We designed the controller to feel like you're manipulating a tome through gameplay. The controller itself is going to have the different inputs disguised as different crystals, with the book itself being 3D modelled, and hollow. Our circuit playground will reside in this middle hollow space, and we're still working out the logistics of using paper vs plastic pages, as well as some kind of leather covering for the book.
