Game Design (2D Strategy)
In this camp you design and develop your own 2D strategy game, using Torque Game Builder, an easy to use, game engine and industry standard photo-editing software.
You will be introduced to the basic building blocks of 2D strategy game design which involves story development; background design; puzzle, exploration and quest definition; definition of winning conditions and rules of tactical combat; health meters and collision detection. You apply the mechanics of level design and game mapping (using locales, stages or missions), architectural visualization, game graphics, animation and, math and logic in your game concept.
At the end of the camp you carry copies of your work home. Your game is showcased for trial at the Design Expo.
Inspiration: In this camp you are inspired by titles such as Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy.
