1984 Showcase Game

What are you learning?

Game Development

Why is it important?

This is your showcase project, this is where you are to create a game that is ready to be published and distributed

How do you show that you understand? What is the assignment?

Your showcase project is broken up into three parts

1. Plan

2. Game

3. Presentation

Plan

Put together a "Pitch" document explaining the game you are going to create.

Include the members of your team, an explanation of your game, what each team member is doing, the characters you are going to create, a timeline to completions with info on what each team member will be doing each week.

I will be doing weekly progress checks based on these weekly timelines.
