Prequel: We started early planning for our Final Project (Actually we already wrote the proposal the previous semesters). We had great ideas, like Avatar, chatroom and network games. I remember gathering around the FC4 top level staircase to discuss these, and even meet up to discuss at a LJS branch at Dhoby Ghaut during the holidays. Little did we know that all these effort would come to naught when......
The Meeting: We were "summoned" to a huge meeting room inside the ICT office. First time we've been there and quite nervous, added to that Ben was not feeling very well that day and had to head home. I remembered Mr Quek, Spicer and Arthur Poh in there.
Hyper Relay Meet: Aha...First meeting with the client. 3 of them came (Of course Geraldine left the deepest impression because......). We were given a magazine that sort of explains Hyper Relay, and Ben went up to talk some stuff. Best thing about that meeting was the Hyper Relay giant poster we got in my opinion...hahaha.
Brainstorming: Basically, we tried out the games and for a few times we would gather at John's place to brainstorm the ideas. After that (or even during that), they will play Burnout......
SP Hyper Relay Roadshow: Aha...that day I was slacking away playing "Long Jump" on the Lap top while the others had to went around pursuading "customers". Hahaha. Remember Xiao Hui ask me to host this "Bejeweled contest". Got to listen to Pei Xuan sing "Lao Shu Ai Da Mi"... (Mwahahaha...I still got the video of this) Of course, also the video of Sharkpeng retarded actions. Geraldine sent those to me as a whole when she sent the photos...my team never knew these video exists...LOL... Man I am smart!
The Games:
Spot The Difference (First game which we "Directly Modified" from Big Number)
Hit It (No comment...LOL)
Fire Rings (Easy to pick up, hard to master! Ben is godly at this...)
Long Jump (Nomaro leg is funny and I got Zhiwei to change it...Haha)
Burn Ants (Zhiwei redraw the Ants and Tomato Sauce till he goes crazy...haha)
Costume Party (Used S.H.E at the beginning, that was fun! Woo!)
Volcano Rush (If you can clear you can go buy 4D)
Gutter Run (Sharkpeng falling down is cute)
Catch Me If Can (Zhi Wei "evil" versions of the cute characters...nice)
3D (Would be better if it support 3 digits...heh)
WCG 2005: Basically we just spam Hyper Relay there competing with each other and played Conkers there. Heh. Remember aunties coming up to us and ask "这个可以拿吗？", "可以给两个吗？". Xuan Jie and me was quite pissed off with her and her daughter. Haha. Keep saying them...guess what happened in the end?! Ben, Xuan Jie and me kope 5 times more than them when we basically "dump" the ENTIRE SET of magnets, post-kit and screws into our bag... The bag is still rotting in my cupboard now...don't know what the hell we were doing and brought that back for.
Aftermath: Long story short, we successfully cleared our FYP with great results I must say...Later on, we got to know that a lot of people left Techwah...Xiao Hui...Geraldine. One by one they all left...Is this the end? Later on we went to the Hyper Relay site. Down, can't play, can't do anything...what has become of Edenii? Geez...
Now the only "souvenirs " is the Edenii $5 worth game card, 3 cute little soft toys key chains and ......Hyper Relay Polo T-Shirt.
Update: I just visited edenii site again and was shocked to see that Techwah had ceased all operation on the servers...it means edenii is down. Hyper relay is down. Gone and is now history...does that means we would never get a chance to play Hyper Relay multiplayer together again? Haizz...this is what we call "遗失的美好"......Goodbye Techwah and all staff. Wish you well in all your future endeavors......
