Adding Scenes and My Storytelling Ability!!

We are using visual storytelling in our game. This is not so easy to explain. I'm going to try anyway. We are using visual storytelling because we have an Aim button and you can choose the way your story goes, you either make the bullzeye or you don't make it and lose. Thats a story all its self. Also we have a Shoot button for you to shoot or not. What I'm saying is that they have a choice to not play the game or to play the game.  In our game you choose your own fate, make your story as you go along. We got this idea off of one of the games in our Playing to Learn. We played Animal Rescue Squad and they had buttons where you could choose the way the story goes. You could choose to save the animal or make a mistake and the animal dies. We want to thank the Animal Rescue Squad game for the helpful ideas.

Drawing a Scene

    This week we started drawing a scene!!! I loved doing this with my partner because we started to see what we wanted to do. I have been so excited about starting our game and now we finally can!!!  Our game has helped me to realize that globaloria is starting to get harder. I have learned several things about our topic. One is that game of chance is pretty hard, two is that our 8th graders wil have fun on our game and third I think that we are prepared to do a game perfectly. My partner, Angel, has been very, very helpful to me and she has taught me how to do everything I know. Angel is very experienced because she was in this class last year and she is very trustworthy.

Paper Prototype!!! Excited to Start

Our paper prototype turned out good. This is only a stepping stone to start on our game and it gets me more and more excited about starting our game. We have kept all our original game ideas. This has helped us visualize our game and see more clearly what we plan to do. We have decided not to change our game plans because they met all the expectations and we loved our ideas once we started.
Here is a picture of an example of a paper prototype.

Our game and what I'm most excited about!!!


We are in the STEMS category this year. Our topic is game of chance. We have decided to fo a carnival theme. Our genre is going to be adventure. Our game is going to have milk bottles, popping the baloons, and darts.  We are going to ask the players what is the chance of something happening and they have to tell us. When they answer it they win the round. After that level we will probably have about 2 or 3 more rounds. After all these rounds they will either win or loose the game. We hope to start our game soon. This is our game genre, topic, and ideas. We hope you like everything!

In this project I am most excited about creating more detailed graphics and making it more life like.

We both like the adventure games that we played and now we have some ideas in mind. The games we played were really cool and we are alomost ready to start our game. We also liked adventure because you get to do some problem solving. Well thats all for mow visit my page if you want.  http://www.myglife.org/usa/wv/srmswiki/index.php/User:Breezy41
