Over the past week I have been working on some characters and background pieces that will be going into the game. I made some farm animals including a horse, donkey, chicken, hen, a sheep dog and a bulldog. I also created some housing for the animals including a chicken coop, dog house and a horse and donkey stable, I created a tractor as well that will be used for multiple games the tractors can be changed in colour and size too. It took me a good amount of time to create all these characters. I did some research into the style of artwork we liked which was leapfrog and animal crossing, in these games the characters all have a round appearance they don’t have any sharp edges or a stroke so we decided the characters should go with this style of illustration.
My illustrations made on adobe Illustrator
I did some more research into what the levels will be like in terms of difficulty
The game levels will progressively get harder each time the player passes a level. The first level will be simple adding just to see what the learning capability is of the player and give them a feel for the game it’ll be really easy and fun it’ll make the player want to learn more
The next level will bring in subtraction, the level will be a touch harder than the first and will get the player used to adding and subtracting but in a fun and creative way.
Level 3 is going to include both adding and subtracting it will get the player used to using both of them and will be a vital stepping stone in their maths skill level.
The next levels will start adding simple multiplication and a touch of division. This will cater more to the players who want to be challenged more and become more comfortable with maths.
Over the next few weeks we will keep on working and collaborating for the project each week we will make sure to meet on the Wednesday and the Thursday to discuss our progress, we also have a group chat which is where we mostly make our decisions and talk about what work we are doing and how we are getting on.
Hey Emma,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading through your final game design document (GDD) for the game project this semester. I find the idea for your game to be really fun and interesting. After reading through your game design document from your powerpoint presentation video I feel like you have a real grasp on what you want to create and how you want to go about doing it. So far your GDD looks really impressive and informative. What kind of music for the game are you going for? What theme are you going for in your game? What's your stylistic approach for the design of the game? The powerpoint presentation is really good. Overall I find your game design document and game idea to be really well thought out and cute. I look forward to seeing the development of the game as the week's progress and the final result. Good luck with the development of your game!
