Game Development | DTE

This term for DTE we learned more about robotics and game development. Our main project for this term was to develop a game of some sort to present at the end of the term. We first researched sites that we could program and develop a game on. Some of the sites that we found were the Makey Makey site, Gamefroot and Scratch. 


We used the Makey Makey site to search for some ideas of games that we could do and we looked at Gamefroot and Scratch as possible sites that we could program our game in. Our first idea was inspired by the dinosaur game. We named it Witching hour, we started planning during October so our theme was Halloween. We planned our characters, their purpose and what their role is.

Unfortunately, this idea did not work out due to the limited amount of time we had. Our original plan was to develop this game in Scratch but luckily our amazing teacher suggested that we develop a game in Gamefroot. So we planned a new game once again. 



The name of our second plan is Hypogeal, it is set in an apocalyptic world, where the objective of the game was to go through the terrain and get out underground hence the name, Hypogeal. 


Reflection:
We manage to finish our game on the second-to-last week of school. We then got to present our game to year 6 students that came to tour our school. All in all, I think we did a good job creating our game, everyone did a fair amount of work and our outcome was satisfactory. There were some difficulties with the programming and there are some things that we could've improved on.
