This game was made for Dare to be digital2013. Before the first collection, a plannning was made after discussion for several times and repeated revisions. Having passed the collections, we were given a chance to fly to Dundee to make our design come true in two months.
We suffered several times revision and extreme difficulties during two months. Then we first experience a ProtoPlay. We received a lot appriciation from the players, but also found numerous problems. In the end, we got several meaningful criticization from judges.
In StraightAhead, I took responsibility for part of planning and half programming. I played an important role in deciding the core mechanics and making the level design. Besides, as a programmmer, I implemented half function of the game, including two level and the feedback of combo and collision.
One of menbers in other team are playing our game on Ipad.
And below is some treasure photos, taken in Dundee.
In StraightAhead, we design rich feedbacks: the monster have different expression in different situation and each collision has an animation. Also, there are combo and "Almost there!" animation to tell players the game state.
