For the instructor's eyes only
Create Goals
☐Develop a game plan in text and using wireframe.cc
☐Build the first stage of your individual game project (coding not necessary yet)
Why should we plan our game?
Why not jump right into it?

Let's log into CoSpaces
Visit www.cospaces.io and open a new space for your project
Task
☐Build out the first stage of your CoSpaces VR game
-
For now, don't worry about coding – just design the characters and stage. If you have time left over, then you can begin coding.
