The assignment

​

Project: showoff was the final project of year 2, which would conclude our lessons and start working on minors, internships, etc. This project took a whole 10 months instead of the usual 2 weeks, and with 9 persons instead of 6. 
The goal was to create a game for a client, in this case, the Oyfo museum, with the topic of the impact ocean life has on our lifestyle.

Originally the game would be played in the museum itself, but because of corona restrictions this was not possible, but we still created the core concepts based on that it's playable in the museum with a few slight changes.

Our product

​

Our audience is of all ages, but our target audience is mostly between the ages of 8-18. Our goal is to create a fun yet learning experience about the environment. We went with a somewhat standard gameplay approach to make it a puzzle-based game. Since it's also meant for fairly young people, and should be child-friendly to play. 
Since the game would be played in the museum it would be a shame if only 1 person could play the game while the others wait. Thus we designed the game that it is a 2 person co-op game. This also enhances the fun between people, because they can discuss how to solve certain puzzles. 
To make sure we can give the players as clear as possible the information that they need about how ocean life affects our lifestyle, we made the game somewhat dialogue intensive.
