Kilpailutehtävät
Kilpailutehtävän rakenne ja tehtävämoduulien keskeiset sisällöt
Joukkue suunnittelee ja toteuttaa kilpailun aikana digitaalisen pelin konseptisuunnitelman ja pelattavan prototyypin tehtävänannon lähtökohdista. Kilpailijoiden on otettava työskentelyssään huomioon tuotannolle asetetut sisällölliset tavoitteet ja tekniset vaatimukset, kohderyhmän erityispiirteet ja käyttäjäkokemus. Pelituotanto on monialainen laji joka vaatii kilpailujoukkueelta osaamista mm. pelisuunnittelussa, ohjelmoinnissa, peligrafiikan tekemisessä.
Kilpailu on parikilpailu.
Esimerkkitehtävä
Design a platform type educational game concept for 7 to 10 year old children. Try to include educational elements in your game concept and make the design visually suitable for the target group. Bring something new to the genre and feel free to experiment with visual styles and game play.
Create materials for your game concept presentation and save all the files to the designated folder.
Your presentation materials should include original concept art and playable prototype that demonstrates the key game mechanics. Build a PowerPoint or a Keynote presentation that is understandable without the verbal presentation. Presentation should include at least game concept, key features, unique selling point and target audience.
- Your playable prototype should be a windows standalone build.
- If you use Unity standard assets, you have to mention these in your documention. Some of the graphics must be self-made.
- Internet access is restricted and cellphones are banned during the competition.
