Tech Fair reflection

I really enjoyed doing this project because I got to do it with my friends and it was so much fun. I feel we all contributed well, some more than others, throughout the process of planning, designing and creating. We started off with 3 ideas originally, but were leaning towards the game the whole time. I'm very glad we chose this. We wanted a game based not only on the school but also the community; we did this because our AOI was Community and Service. Once the design process began we had a brainstorming session on what we could include and we couldn't. Once we knew exactly what was going to be in our game we drew a design and then started to incorporate that into our game. When making this game we came through so many minor obstacles and we overcame them by watching and reading tutorials on how to use RPG Maker VX. Overall, it was a fun, educational and interactive game.

I was very pleased of the feedback we received because it was all very positive. We could improve by fixing up the small glitches and bugs, as well as adding more features to make the game more enjoyable.

Final Idea


Video Game

Seema, Kimiya, Aline and I are planning to create an rpg game of our school, or just any school. There will be quests and other things to do. The objective of the game is to collect 5 stamps from various teachers or students. Once you collect 5 stamps, you will be rewarded with chocolate given by one of our group members.
We will create custom tilesets and sprites for the game to make it a modern day school. We will all watch video tutorials from youtube to understand how the game works, and be fully informed and able to create the game. We were thinking of using the school computers so more than one person can play at a time.

Software:
Rpg maker vx ace
Ms paint

Roles:
Eman-  coding and event triggers
Aline- Poster, powerpoint presentation
Kimiya & Seema- Character and sprite creation/customization


Hardware:
Laptop

Video/resource:http://www.youtube.com/show/rpgmakervxacetutorials


Advantages:      It will be fun to make and we will be making a slideshow and probably a poster so the presentation will be appealing and it will be a fun game for anyone to play.

Disadvantages: We might not be able to be in a group of 4 which would be easier to make the presentation harder and it wont be as appealing if we were a 3
