Daniel Todd the CEO of PRG other known as Phoenix ready games, but also a known ARC Student is working with the Design Hub by using there interns for their upcoming game Holiday wars and a new game that is in development at the moment. Many of the interns who have joined Daniels team are great with 3D modeling, 2D Artwork, Programming, and Animation.

You might of heard of them from a blog post a year ago when they were  working on Holiday Wars.

 Some of the interns that are working with PRG is getting paid for their work by the Design Hub.

Some of the interns who aren’t getting paid are working on their own time when they don’t have other Design Hub work to do.

Just like a previous blog post about Holiday Wars; Daniel and his team is still working on finishing up this project and getting the game ready to be able to play. 

The other game the company is working on is still in development and still in discussion with the team. Furthermore about this project is still in making and will be announced when the game is fully discussed and in programming.

Recently Design Hub have given Daniel couple more programmers to help them push out the game. These types of interns are going to be excellent to help them push the game out. These games in the future are going to be on steams store ready for people to play and enjoy!

Day of the Dead

Day of the Dead. In this holiday focuses on the gathering of families and and friends in praying to remember family and friends that have died.

Here at the design hub we are working on a seasonal project for this special holiday.

The project began October 1 and will continue until November 2, when the Day of the Dead officially ends.

They are making a small scaled skull to sell at the bookstore for approximately one dollar per skull.

This creative idea was suggested by one of our amazing interns Erika Gonzales. Who thought of this project due to a previous project  “Bobble-head Project”.

The bobble-head project is about peoples heads getting scanned by the 3D scanner by the 3D scanning interns here at the Hub. Making it into amazing scanned heads for bobble-heads.

The project inspired the idea for this project to create skulls using the same method as the bobble-heads.

First, a full sized skull that Erika brought in was scanned. Next they 3D printed this life sized skull. Now, Smaller Scale skulls are in the progress of being created , Then painted by the Artist team.

 

The artist team consist of : Erika, Summer and Regan. 

Currently, the artist team is finding a location to sell these 3D scanned and printed skulls at any local Day of the Dead Event.

Future development from this project includes making the skulls into bobble-heads, earrings, and charms for people to make their own jewelry from them such as necklaces and bracelets.

Final step of this project is to paint and seal the skulls  in the paintwork with a special sealant that prevents any staining.  

Then the skulls will be all ready for selling!
