It’s time!

You have proved you have the chops to create a GOOD level with SMBX and now it’s time to make some educational software!

Start your day with a warm-up

Today we are going to watch every person play their level live.

What this means is that you will literally stand around and watch/cheer on the game dev while they showcase their level.

While people are watching you play: you are to explain why you chose this NPC/Puzzle/Boss/Whatever

I want you to put real thought into this

While you are watching someone play: This is NOT your opportunity to bash someone, this is your opportunity to help someone create a better game and become a better game developer. If the level seems too easy, too difficult, doesn’t make sense or just an idea on how they might be able to improve their level.

We are not in competition with each other, we are working on creating the greatest freeware educational game ever made by students. I am not kidding!

After going through all the games, go back to your game and review/make any updates that made sense when you were playing it live. We often get so wrapped up in the creation that something makes sense to us because we have been working on it so long but to someone viewing for the first time it is odd. We want the best product, you are not obligated to make changes but why not try and improve before we start testing with real children.

What are we working on today?
