Group Member: Airlangga Kusuma, Hendy Brainta, Reza Kelvianto, Steven Jourdan

  • The game that we will make is called we bought a zoo. The idea is taken from the movie with some little modification and we implemented it into game. It is a board game which is suitable for all ages and the game is available up to 4 people. This game will be a very simple one compare to the other game from the team member.
  • Our members made all digital game, so we choose to make my game and make it as a board game, we use the ideas in the movie story and some idea that we rethink together to make a better board game.
  • Our game will not be a very big. Here are the elements in the game that will be played by the player: 
    1. Board - The Map of the game
    2. Card  
    3. Money - Money that will be used in the game 
    4. Mechanics - Rules of the game
    5. tokens - Pieces (chess piece / coins)
    6. Dice - show how many steps player can go
  • All the members have agreed to divide the task equally. All the design photoshop will be done by Reza and Airlangga but the design proposal like sketching will be done by all of members. Documentation will be done by Hendy and Jourdan.
  • Prototype is an early model of the project that is already playable but it may not be perfect. Purpose of the prototype is for user testing to collect feedback from the user
  • Flesh:
    • Goal: be the one who own more animal than the other player , earn most money and finish first
    • Character: The player it self.
    • Material: paper for board, paper money, dice, pieces for player

Comment: This game has a very fun game play. User has to use their luck to able to avoid the missing turn card and try to get the key to the exit and find their way to exit first.
It is simple and easy to play but they have to make the game board bigger so that the game could last longer and give more fun.
