This summer use Minecraft to create a story driven adventure game!
Minecraft is awesome because you can build anything. In this camp you'll learn the art of Game Design; Story boarding, The Hero's Journey, Environmental Storytelling, Implementing Progressive Difficulty, Creating Game Cinematics, Boss Fights, and More!
-
Story - Create a storyboard to bring your ideas to life.
-
Game World - Use the provided castles, towns, elf villages, and more to rapidly create your perfect game world.
-
Quests - Use the hero's journey to draw the player into your game and story and create quests your hero needs to accomplish which naturally progress your story.
-
Level Up - Create a leveling system that makes your hero more powerful by completing quests and defeating enemies.
-
Enemies - Setup awesome enemies (such as 40 foot tall zombies) that get progressively more difficult as your story progresses.
-
Abilities & Magic - Depending on your story, you decide if your hero has magic of their own, or maybe they find a special sword. Everyone will learn to create special abilities and/or magic powers for their hero to unlock.
-
Boss Battle - Create a multi-phase boss battle that automatically progresses the phases. For example: Phase 1 - the boss thinks you're a nobody and sends minions to defeat you, but once you beat them phase 2 starts. Phase 2 - The boss, realizing your truly strong, decides to deal with you themselves!
-
Cutscenes - Learn how to make cutscenes in Minecraft and use them to reveal your story or show cool parts of your game. Such as the boss transforming, a cutscene makes you watch as the boss laughs and transforms into their final form. (very cool!)
Have a blast bring your game idea to life!
