What Have We Been Working On?
Presently stAR cARds is a neat little android build phone app, one that will recognize custom made markers and display information about 6 different night sky constellations and their respective Alpha, Beta and Gamma stars.
Star Cards has been an enormously fun project to work on. When we first came up with the idea of star cards we were enraptured by the simplicity of the concept. Since development has continued we have stayed true to that simplicity. The scope at times has presented itself endless possibilities to expand and build into new and exciting areas. But we've stayed the course and really knuckled down to bring to life stAR cARds in its purest form. In future we would definetely like to expand stAR cARds and explore some more of its endless potential. In its current state, star cards is a solid little app with slick interfaces and smooth handling. With the app installed, one can detect and read information of the star cards AR markers.. We have also added small polishes such as the Menu BGM, more interactive marker animations and cleaner UI. In addition to some of the build changes, we have added an additional game mode. This mode, Star Characteristics , is a game to be played with the cards via prompts to the players from the application. The aim of the game is to select a star card that matches the given prompt which is a certain star characteristic. The player(s) is then assigned points based on correct detection of a star after the prompt. Finally, for this current build, we have had professionally printer the star markers! Changes Since Last Build
UI Info Button Fixes:
Implementing AR buttons to first activate a overlay over a star. Then when clicking the overlay, the UI info panel with star information pops up. UI Aesthetic Changes and Artwork Completion: The artwork for the UI panels was remade to better match the overall minimalist aesthetic. And the design of the app,s interface. Menu and Level Controllers: The addition of the menu and level controllers was the central part of making this into a usable app by users. Gameplay Changes: The game play changes have stemmed from the addition of the additional game modes. Now we can do more than just register constellations, but also find specific values of the stars. BGM: New original track was mixed by intern DJ Ivan for the menu screens The All New Star Card Markers
Currently we have 18 individual star cards. A deck of 54 cards was printed so the deck contains 3 sets of the individual cards. We would definitely like to see 54 individual star one day! This would be 18 separate constellations!
The cards were printed on 300gsm stock and come in a a beautiful custom design tuck box. Which sports raised high-gloss UV embossing on the design! Where is the Project at?
