Animation Teams

storyboard

Create a story for an animation. that includes both of your rigged characters.

Create a storyboard of your story in a minimum of 8 cells. Have all information filled out for full credit (length, description, camera shots and angles, sound, etc.)

Clearly articulating on how the story is going to unfold is of paramount importance.

This is due the Wednesday we return from vacation at 11AM. Handed to me.

Game Design Teams

softwareDevelopmentCycle

Testing of your MVP Thursday at 9:45. Be ready.

In your game we must be able to:

  • Move
  • Take part in an objective / mechanic (such as running and collecting coins)
  • Have some sort of a reason to do so (coins lead to new level)
  • Have some sort of antagonist to play against (enemy, health going down, time)
  • Have the ability to die / run out / fail. Avoiding this is the “playing” of your game.
