9:45 CAWD Fun Games – Game Roundtable
Co-working means sharing ideas and learning from each other’s successes and mistakes. This morning, each game title will share out:
- Where they are with their game (quick update)
- What has gone well / smooth
- What they are struggling with
We’ll keep things casual, so you’ll provide an update from your seat.
10:35 Break
10:45 Installing OBS / Level Walkthrough
OBS Studio is a free, open-source, and cross-platform screencasting and streaming app (but you probably knew that already). This week I’d like to get a good look at how your game is coming along. Your task is to put together some game play for me to look at.
If I like it, I will continue to fund your game (theoretically of course).
The Task: Use OBS to demonstrate the core mechanic for your game. Use Premiere to create titles or use voice over to describe what the mechanic is. I want to see it in action, and I want to hear or read about it. While you play your game, explain what you are doing, and how it is the core mechanic of your game. For full credit we need to see the completed mechanic.
For Owen’s game
- Main Menu.
- Use paddle to break blocks
- Power Up
- How to win or level up
Owen will demonstrate the 4 steps above through OBS, explain it with titles, or narrate in a voice over.
When complete create a file animation called “mvp.mp4” and place in Google Classroom – under MVP.
MVP stands for minimal viable product.
This walkthrough is due by Friday afternoon, May 27th. Plan accordingly.
