Characters design and decision

Basically, our team decided to use animal in the Australia as game characters.

They will be: Hedgehog, Crocodile, Koala, Snake and Wombat.

We decided to make 8 bit style as the mainly visual style of the game. The character design draft shows below

Inspiration for idea development

Inspiration: For COVID-19 safe issues, Swintopia has turned the whole uni into an alternate online reality as an adventure game. Intelligent using online versions to show students what the campus looks like also allows students to complete class registration online.

Questions for development

How do we create the game?

What platform or website or software do we use to create this prototype?

Challenge: Accessibility

Issues with accessibility.

If designing for school aged kids, not all schools (especially in lower socio-economic areas) have access to ipads or other devices as such so potentially looking at making game web-based (HTML5, javascript type based game).

Making game web based would allow for schools with a just a computer lab and students with other devices to play and engage with the information as well as engage other stakeholders (other than just the students). 

This way, it doesn’t have to be app based, students can access it wherever and school administrators don’t have to worry about installing apps.
