paper prototype

Our game idea or our concept is to show people that bats are cool and that they should learn more about them.when we were imagining our game  our ideas weren't very different all it took was a couple of minutes to decide on our game idea.we also choosed our own roles i'm the producer and artist Calvin is the programmer and Yohan is a artist and scene designer .Once we were done with choosing our roles we started researching our topic  by finding interesting facts about bats like what they eat and what they do and where they live. We got our info from Bat Conservation,Bat conservation and management,and Bat Conservation International we now the info from these websites are legit because they specialize in saving bats.Now impact wise we do not think people will get offended with our game because we wont have any gour or violence on it.The way our game is going to work is in the first level which is the cave level you will be a baby bat and you are trying to find your mom so she can feed you. In level 2 which is the forest level you  will be an adolescent bat trying to get out of the forest so you can get to the congress bridge. now the third level you will have to play to find out and when we've been working in flash we have learned that watching videos helps us out the most. Finale now me personally i think the hardest curriculum topic is making an interactive mini game because it took the most coding  and i had the most challenges in that topic.

mini game

While making my interactive mini game i learned one important thing that surprised me it turns out that if you think a game is easy for the players make sure that you double check that it is easy because looks can be deceiving i had to change my game so it could be easier and i think it works better now.

Play to Learn Part 2

The game topic or genre i piked was action because those type of games are really fun to play and they are also a chalange to make. I also learned from the games  reviewed.  I have learned that puzzle and maze games are the best type of games to show a learning topic.Some game features that stood out to me the most were how in some games the animation was so real.In conclusion i have no questions about my game genre (action).

presenting your final game

The learning topic of my game is to learn what tools the colonist in the thirteen colonies used to use .I specifically want my players to learn how hard the colonist had it back then not being able to use the tech noligi  we have  now.It took me a while to find the information i needed  until i found this website called history .org it had all the information about the tools the colonist used, it was really helpful i learned about tools that i didn't even know existed.Also my ideas didn't change much while i was doing my game i stiked to my outline that i planed.All the game ingredients i put in my game were really helpful on making my game way better than it was.In addition i haven't used the help center much.I also had some difficulties in making my game for example i just couldn't add my score it was one problem after another so i got my friend to help me it turned out i just forgot to put one line of code i felt dom .
