Week 1

So here is where it all starts, week number 1, the capital letter from the sentence, the starting point, the origin.

FRAS is a project that CT Games agreed to start considering today, the 24th of September 2013. This project has its main objective to get the full mark at University West of Scotland, but we consider this to be the actual first step in developing the game.

CT Games is born today together with this project. It is a collaboration between Constantin Toader`s NT Games and Cristian Szabo`s Videolab Games. We really hope to achieve great things from this union.

So what is FRAS? It stands for Federatia Romana de Automobilism Sportiv (Romanian Federation of Motor Sports). It is intended to be a racing game with Romanian Vehicles and with tracks that are located in Romania.

The main goal of this game is to lower the piracy in Romania and deliver a great quality game for a very low price, and to improve how Romania is seen from outside by delivering real places of a unique beauty from Romania in our racing tracks which will coincide with the real tracks used in Romanian Rally Championship, and lastly but not least to try and put the Romanian Rally under the spotlight and promote their events.

Today we have set the foundation, we have a start, we have a game type, a good title, an idea, a concept. We talked today some abstract features of the game, like gameplay (we agreed that we want to deliver a game that is both arcade and simulation), characters (which in our case will be the cars), the levels (the tracks) the menu, the platform that will be developed for, controls to be used, and other features that we will go deeply later as the project will take contour.

We established that the first and the last post will be the same on both blogs even though the blogging activity should be an individual task.
After today`s discussions we agreed what means of communication we will use, and dispatched a few goals for next week: establish communication with the real FRAS and come up with a development plan for the following weeks.

We really believe this is going to be a successful start, because the team is very compatible on all aspects.

Updates will be available individually next week.

First week`s report ends here.
