Instruction Overview
Understand
- The value of planning a game project before coding
- How to outline a game plan in text and wireframe
Apply
- Use brainstorming techniques, along with wireframe.cc, to plan a unique project
Create
- Build at least the first stage of a VR game project using brainstormed plan and wireframe
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?

Who wants to share their game plan?
Let's get some feedback from your classmates. Does the game sound fun?
Task
☐Sketch out your first stage in wireframe.cc

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.
