For this week blog, we had to create a Game Design Document (GDD) for our game assignment. Instead of using DunDoc we were asked to use powerpoint to create our GDD.
Each member was assigned to write about their chosen topic. I was assigned to researched and write about the technical, game architecture and user interface. So I drew up the game architecture on draw.io and I looked up the touch screen technology for the user interface because we want the game to be on the iPad since this is a kids game and kids nowadays are always on their phone or iPad.
The Tiny Farm GDD video below talks about what game it will be and our goal for this group assignment. We also talk about the looks and feel of the game we would like and want. As a group, we all decided to just do one subject instead of 7, we thought maths would be the easiest and the best one. We figured doing it based on the theme farm will also be the easiest one and it will be something kids will enjoy more. We want to design it for the iPad because children are using technology more.

Hi Nhu, I'm really impressed with the level of detail and effort your team put into the GDD. It seams like you are sorted for the game. You have a solid team and I'm sure yous will do a great job. I honestly don't think you need to add anything to the final Game Design Document. Also Unity has an option to design games for a smartphone so your team won't have too big of a problem with making a mobile game. All I can say now is good luck, can't wait to see the end result!
ReplyDeleteHi Nhu, I was really interested to see another big group project taking place and your subject matter was something that I think I would love to see finished, I love that your all aiming this at an educational game which I feel is so amazing and Nobel because who knows this could become something to help young kids better there lives, no project is too small or worthless, sure look at flappy bird, so my hopes are that this project becomes more than just a college project, teaching kids maths is a big thing as a lot of kids tend to struggle in this area, but it also shows kids how farms work and teaches them life lesions, it’s good that It’s on phone and tablet too as that seems to be the way things are going these days, who knows maybe this project could be thought to kids around Ireland, all and all I really loved this project, keep up the good work ^_^
