Project #7 Autobiographical Game: Green Dress Mission
link to code
Description
This autobiographical game reflects my effort for sustianable fashion. Textile industry is the second most polluter following oil industry and as a fashion designer and apparel technical designer, I feel strong sense of reponsibility for this issue. After I witnessed so many garments samples were mutilated and thrown away while working for brands in New York, I have been working on upcycled/repurposed fashion and 3D virtual fashion. The green dress mission in this game is my mission.
Design Process
Proposal: Main characters/items, Storyboards & Game Description
This game is composed of total five scenes: intro, level 1, level 2, level 3 and the fail scene. The mission is to grab the green dresses to save the earth from Pollumon. In level 1 there are only two dresses, but in level 2, there are 8 dresses. In level 3, you will see eight dresses plus pollumons that randomly appear and move from left to right. To grab the green dress you have to avoid those monsters. You can move Diana with direction keys or w,a,s,d keys in four ways. When you succeed to the last level, then you will see Diana the Green Queen and the dead Pollumon along with refreshing music. You can restart the game when you fail or finish the game.
If you gain one green dress, then you will get one green star. The green star is a compensation system here and if you get total 18 green stars, then Diana will be a winner and game over. As the green dress symbolizes all eco-fridendly or sustainable goods and lifestyles, we all have to be a green queen like Diana and kill Pollumon. I hope this point will make this game more immersive.
Reflection
This is the first game I have ever made and I am glad I finished it! I am neither a coding person nor a game person, so it was just overwhelming how to build the story and set up coding. I learned from this huge project that the game can be a very narrative and interactive tool. The most challenging part was repetitive sound errors and I could not put many sound effects. I hope this game will be an amusing and also awakening experience to players.
