I made the UI for the abilities and did some of the coding to go from different layouts.

POST-PRODUCTION – REFLECTION

21st Century Skills

Ways of Thinking (Creativity, Innovation, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving)

I was creative by having the battle area idea. I was a problem solver by helping Jace make his death screen menu.

Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)

I was a communicator and collaborator by talking with my team and working on things with them.

Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)

I used YouTube to learn how to do things in the game.

Ways of Living in the World (Life & Career)

I developed life skills because I learned how to be professional in a work space.

Reactions to the Final Version

Hunter said that the graphics are basic and it could be more 3d instead of a top down view.

Spencer said the menu was pleasant to look at.

Self-Evaluation of Final Version

My creation is a simple but unexpected concrete emotional credible story about a kaiju trying to survive from other kaijus.

Grammar and Spelling

I used grammarly to check my spelling.

Project Timeline

We started out by making a simple map. Then we added a character to go through the map. We added a shrink, and grow mechanic for the character after we made it. We then added effects for dying and winning. After that, we added an AI racer to try to win against. Next, we added a menu screen so you could go to different levels. Then we finished the other levels and added a timer to beat the levels.

Proposed Budget

$1.49 per person for the 19 days we had to work on this game and the resources we had to use.

The Menu I made appears when you first enter the game. You can choose between 3 levels to play through. The character you play is a blue robot horse.

POST-PRODUCTION – REFLECTION

21st Century Skills

Ways of Thinking (Creativity, Innovation, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving)

I was creative with the art of the horses and thinking of the idea for the game.

Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)

I communicated with my team by talking to them and asking them to work on something if they don’t know what to do.

Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)

We used Construct 3 and watched YouTube tutorials to learn how to use tools on Construct 3.

Ways of Living in the World (Life & Career)

I can work better with people and help them if they are struggling to get everyone back on task.

Reactions to the Final Version

Jessica said, “I love the fire on the horses when they move, it really tells you that they’re cars”.

Self-Evaluation of Final Version

The game I made is fun because there are multiple levels to play and you can try to beat your time, every time you replay a level. There are cool effects and cool-looking characters. This is a good game and a variety of players can have a good time playing it.

I made a menu that you can move the character in. You can move with the arrow keys and choose to start the tutorial and then go to the first level, or you can go straight to a challenge level.

POST-PRODUCTION – REFLECTION

21st Century Skills

Ways of Thinking (Creativity, Innovation, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving)

I can now think of ways to solve problems.

Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)

I can work better with people I just met because I am less shy now. I can even work better with people I don’t like that much.

Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)

I can now use Construct 3 to make fun games.

Ways of Living in the World (Life & Career)

I have an opportunity for a career in game design or I could just make games for fun.

Reactions to the Final Version

Hunter- The game is bad for working on it for 3 weeks and it could have Copywrite issues.

Jace- add sounds

Self-Evaluation of Final Version

The game is basic but can entertain people for a little while.

Grammar and Spelling

I used Grammarly to help me write with correct grammar. I also used spellcheck to see if I spelled everything correctly.
