Lesson 10: Individual Project pt. 1

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?

Individual Project Rules

  • A way to win or lose

  • A number variable (score, lives, etc.)

  • A goal for the player (cross to the other side, collect items, defeat enemies, etc.)

  • Should be fun in VR!

  • A goal for the player (cross to the other side, collect items, defeat enemies, etc.)

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

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)

 

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.

20 min

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)

 

Switch seats with a neighbor

Have them explore your stage and give you feedback
