This is group assignment. You will be part of a four-person team. Each team will design a video game idea that involves multiple decision points, an interface design, and a scoring system. The game must have specific goals and rules; it must incorporate examples of sound that will create mood, and must employs visual cues (e.g. line, shape, space, etc.) to guide the audience toward a specific goal.

The idea will be presented in the form of a 15-minute Powerpoint.

First: Decide whether you are designing a Game of: Skill, Chance or Strategy.

Second: As a team, determine the Game’s:

A) Goals B) Mechanics C) Objectives D) Rules

Third: Design a 15-minute Powerpoint presentation that:

A) Explains the Goals/Mechanics/Objectives/Rules

B) Demonstrates some In-game Sounds and how they influence the Game’s Objectives

C) Provides examples of characters and/or visual elements that inspire Gaming Goals

D) Explains the Interface & Console Design and how they relate to the Game Mechanics

E) Discuss whether or not Guided Perception is used in your game (and why/why not)

F) Explains why the game would actually be fun to play

Finally: Present your idea as if you were selling it to investors, rather than for a class grade.
