Tech Fair Evaluation

The tech fair was a great success and I enjoyed the experience very much. I think we did well and everything was amazing, many people visited us to play our game and it seemed like most of the judges liked our ideas and I am confident that we did the best we could. The only thing that I found challenging was that we never prepared how we were going to explain our powerpoint while the people were playing the game, so it was a bit tricky but after a couple of people, we understood what we had to do and we presented everything easily. Looking around in the tech fair, I saw many groups with fantastic ideas and I enjoyed going around and seeing what they had to demonstrate as they were very original and creative. Overall, I feel like we did really well, the best we could and we got great feedback from the judges and students.

Our Tech Fair Powerpoint

Design & Plan

Planning

We decided on gathering different tile sets to put the layout of the game together. Here are most of the main tile sets we used for the classrooms, halls, field, spinneys area etc.

To put the tilesets together, we used the sidebar of RPG maker vx, so it is really simple, all you have to do it select the tile you'd like to use and create a layout out of that. Here is a picture of the sidebar with a tileset shown:

Creating characters are very easy. On the software, RPG Game maker vx, you can change the preset character to your preference. You can select different features and colors of clothing and here is a picture of how to create characters:

The two main things that we needed were characters and tilesets, so to put it all together, you can create a layout out of the tilesets and then choose how you want to add in the characters. The last part that we needed to do was to add in text, as in the speech that the characters say when you go to talk to them, here is a picture of how to add in dialogue:

The last thing we needed to make the game have an aim was to put in the quests.

Tech Fair Choice - AOI Relevance

As explained in the previous post, I have came up with 3 ideas that I can use in the tech fair, an RPG game, a lyric music video and a helicopter camera. From these ideas, I have decided to make an RPG game about a quest in school. The reason that I have chosen to make this game is because I will learn more about technology in this project than the other two. Here, I will learn simple coding and how to use textiles, but I already know exactly how to complete the other two so I won't be learning anything new. Also, I wanted to challenge myself and take a risk so I chose this, it also fits under two area of interactions; Human Ingenuity and Community and Service. It relates to Human Ingenuity because it is all about creating developing and changing and thinking in a creative and unique way. This game will need us to develop and change all the characters and textiles and we are creating the game by putting it all together. The game will relate to community and service as the game is educational and will help young students in the community with their knowledge. Im going to make it with Eman, Aline and Seema. We need 4 people in this game because we need one person to create all the characters, one person to collect the right textiles, one person to put it together, and the last person to code the quests and all of us will be making a powerpoint and poster to go with it as well.
