Alternative ideas for the maze game and the sway
My other possible idea which I will reject was to add a boss level but I decided to not add a boss level to the game as
it would take a lot of time to create and if I was to get the boss level into the game I would probably make it virtually
impossible to beat the boss and complete the game so this is why I don’t want to add a boss level to the game. It
would also mean that I would have to create a whole new maze level design and add include a lot more traps,
enemies and collectables and I would have to design and create a boss and I would also have to animate it so it
would match everything in the game
My other ideas for the way I have designed the layout of my Sway. I will change the layout and colour scheme for the
way I will change the layout. I will put the info and link to the second slide of the sway instead of the graphics slide
at the start as I think this will get people playing the game first and then come back and read the info about and
then I will put the video slide next to show gameplay. I would also change the layout of how I want the videos I will
have both the videos at the top with the info below them. It will go to the graphics slide with both of the images on
the left and then it will be the audio slide with two buttons on the left with info and two buttons on the right with
info. I would change the colour scheme from just white to an Indiana Jones theme colour like brown and yellow. I
am rejecting my first layout as it is not in a clear order and could be confusing for the reader so I will use this new
layout design as I think it is more clear and each section works one after the other.
Justify plans for the game and sway
I chose my game because I thought it was appropriate to the age group and the theme of Indiana jones is exciting. I have had to
change the sprites to cartoon skeletons and ghosts to make the game more suitable for the age group I am making this game for.
I cant have any blood or gore in the game and I cant make the enemies faces melt off when they are shot. I also cant make the
enemies to violent as of the age group. I also have a lot of features and enhancement to the game that include spikes, lava,
keys, lives and locks. This make the game harder the overall user experience is enhanced by these range of features and most of
the sprites are animated which is essential in games because it adds effects to each animated sprites that are In the game. It also
adds animated effects to the spike traps and this will make it more difficult and to the lava and this will make the lava more
obvious. If everything in the game was all static it would make the game boring. For the mind map it helps remind me on what I
can and cant include in the game and the sway. I decided to make my storyboard on the pc as It is more clear to see and
understand and I also did the same with the sway storyboard and it ment that I could also add in the hierarchy chart to both the
storyboards. My asset list is a visual reference so I know what I still need to add in to the game and if I add something that isn’t
on the asset list I will have to add it to the asset list. The test plans are for what I expect the outcome for the game to be and
how the sway will be and how well it actually came out. The user test plan of the game are for users to play the game and give
feedback about the game and the user test plan for the sway is for how informative the sway is and how clear and
understanding and how easy it is to use.
I chose to design my Sway for the intent of the 8-12 year old audience that I am making it for it will include 5 slides with the
Indiana jones theme with yellow and brown colours on the Sway. It will have information on each slide and gameplay videos on
one of the slides and audio on different slide and a download link on a different slide. I planned the way I was going to create my
Sway, I first made a storyboard that also included a hierarchy chart. I also made a mind map of what I was going to include or
add to my Sway. I have also made test plans for the Sway to see how user friendly it is and how well the videos and audio play
and to see if the download link work this is to see if everything works as intended. The audience will be guided through the
game with the gameplay videos and there will be information below them for each level also they will be able to see how good
the graphics are. There will also be a page with a lot of information and it will also tell you were all the collectables are and there
will also be the download link to the game on that page.
