Assignment 2 video

This shows the basic outline of how my game will work and the aesthetic I am looking into. It also explores the basic mechanics of the game.

Change of renewable energy

Looking at my current symbols for oil and renewable they are far too similar and this means they are likely to either be confused with each other or will both be grouped together in the players mind.

Therefore I've changed the symbol for renewable energy to be represented by a windmill type image.

Chasms

Since my lo-fi critique I've changed various aspects of the game. One of these is the fact that the player is trying to traverse a chasm instead of walking along the seabed. 

This change was made so that there was an added element to the game and an added incentive to choosing the specific energy. The player needs to have enough energy to make it across the whole space instead of just walking along the seabed.

Level design

The levels in my game were originally made from seaweed or kelp of some sort. However there was little reasoning behind this that made sense enough to keep them that way.

So I have decided to change the levels to be fish which will be able to move. This way the levels are more interactive and can be made more difficult if necessary.

Lo-fi

These are a few images of how my lo-fi came out and how the game at this stage will look.

Main character

End of the level.

The timer and energy bar

Oil energy

Renewable energy. Also shows how the lo-fi was moveable to show different aspects of gameplay

The red button the main character is standing next to would trigger growth of the flat green line also shown, to let the player cross. This is indicative of some of the puzzles that could be within the game.

It also shows the fish which would be one of the games characters. These fish would be peaceful if you used the renewable energy but would attack if you used oil.
