You are a student who is in the process of migrating into college...
But right now, you're amidst all the decisions and commitments that need to be made in order to apply and get into your school of choice. You don't know what you want to do, where you want to go, or how you're going to pay. In this video game, the idea of uncontrollable factors comes into play in all parts of the game. Who you are, the family you have, and the income your family makes is out of your control. However, factors such as how you spend your time and how you pursue your major are things you can affect as the player. This game is not only a synthesization of my own life and thoughts, but also a learning experience for anyone who has yet to reach this point in their lives. |
Social StudiesThe RealityTaken from firsthand interactions and research, my game includes multiple rules and puzzles that directly relate to the laws and experiences that are coupled with this process. My research plays into the dialogue of the NPCs, the interactions the character has with them, and the puzzles that each NPC gives the player.

EnglishThe MapI created an extensive game map planning all the events of the game, including dialogue, planned puzzles, cutscenes, and more. I created this map based off of experience with past projects, as well as other creators online and how they explained the creative process of game writing.

ArtThe ConceptI chose to create and plan my artwork around a simple, oblique projection-type view angle. My environments and sprites reflect as much. However, I chose to do my synthesis via character design. Some characters a cleaner and simpler, some are shorter and busier, and others are large and consisting on overwhelming shapes. These all play into the thoughts, emotions, and purposes of the experience.
