Task Distribution

We divided the game into several layouts, there are mainMenu, startMenu, loadMenu, map1 to map7, and lv1 to lv9. We also added lvCompleted layout. Jeffrey do most the logic-related coding with Construct 2 while I’m more focused on front-end development. Most of the pictures and icons are original, while we use the music from website that provide free-license musics.

User Documentation

mainMenu Layout

 

In this layout, there are 4 buttons. startButton, loadButton, exitButton and creditButton.
If the user click startButton, they will be directed to startMenu layout.

If the user click loadButton, they will be directed to loadMenu layout.

If the user click exitButton, the browser will close and exit the game.

If the user click creditButton, it will display the references to the images that’s used in the game.

startMenu Layout

In this layout, the user are expected to fill the name for the saving process.
If the saving slots are already full, they can choose to override or back to mainMenu to load the game.

loadMenu Layout

In this layout, the user can choose one of the three slots provided to choose where to load the game.

map6 layout

This is the sixth map of the game, this map consist another level, which is a maze map.

map7 layout

This is the last map of the game, this map consist of lv9 Layout

Conclusion

Overall, I want to conclude that creating a game is pretty hard, especially when the developer are dealing with some user specifications. But I want to thank Mr. Raymond Bahana, as our lecturer and facilitator that guide me and Jeff throughout this project, and our Teacher Assistant, Sindy Senorita that also helps us dealing with lots of bug. Also thanks to my friends for moral support. Please kindly leave any comments or suggestions regarding this project in the comment below, thanks!

A. Background

The purpose of creating this game is intended to develop the intelligence of the user in logical-mathematical as well as linguistic unconsciously. In other words, since it is a game, the users will only focus on achieving the goal of the game, which is to rescue the princess who run away, hence they will not aware that they are actually learning while playing.

B. User Target (Persona)

The main target of this game is for the kindergarten kids, who just learned reading and counting. The reason for targeting them is to improve their skill and ability of a logical thinking and language as well. For more information about our Personas, please check this link.

C. Overview

Basically, this project was made in order to achieve a good grade in Multimedia And Human Computer Interaction Course. Because we were asked to create a game for kindergarten children who are under 6 years old. At first, we were thinking about math solving games. But after awhile, we realized that maths are too complex for kindergarten children, so we were thinking about some game that does not require question to test their capability. Instead of using maths as the standard of their knowledge, we were thinking to create a game that teaches the children but also helping them gain knowledge indirectly (unconsciously).

Me and My team member gather and brainstorm about what aspect of knowledge can we teach the children about. Here is the results of our brainstorming and some rough design:

.

Our idea is to create a story-based game which the user will play to complete a simple objective, to save the princess named Alice. In the process of saving her, there are lots of distraction. By distraction, it means that there are a lot of character that require help from the user. The help given by the user covers lots of knowledge indirectly, such as Counting, Direction, Crossing The Street, Animal Sounds, Animal Diets, Puzzle, Maze, Vocabulary, Singing, Colors, Shapes, and Music.

D. Developing Apps

In order to create such game, we will use Adobe Photoshop CC 2017, Adobe Illustrator CC 2017, Adobe Lightroom, Paint, Construct 2 as the IDE, and maybe Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2017 or Adobe After Effect CC 2017 for the end credit videos.
