So in our group project at school my group is creating a platformer prototype game using Power Game Factory. This is an game development kit developed for the creation of Macintosh games. Now this isn't my first time using this product, so I'm somewhat hoping to be able to get some things done technically that I wasn't able to do before. We'll see if time permits.
For our current game we were given only three conditions that had to be met. first, we have to use Power Game Factory. Second, we need to take on a serious topic. Finally, the game is to be a prototype, not a finished product. We are taking on the topic of germs. Specifically, germs in our childrens schools and how our kids can prevent getting sick. That said, we are building a game where an elementary student is fighting of germs at his school using soap. Think of it as "Super Mario Brothers" take on the flu if you will.
So far in our development I have created our title screen, and created the Player character using the art that our very able artist has provided. I have also created the main "weapon" of the Player. I'm also working on some of the special mechanics of our game. In my next post I will get some screen shots up and describe a bit more of our game.
