Rationale




We have produced a game for intermediate school children about the animals of the sea, in our case the green sea turtle.
We wanted to show that there are dangers along in life not only in humans but animals too. It links to the life cycle of any living creatures. 
The style we choose to do this is a nice flat design 2D approach with the calm pastel colour tone used. 
Sadly we only got level working, not fully completed to the standards that we had planned and wanted, but we hope the idea would show and let people know how it would work fully if it was done properly.
We have used a timer and the life bar so you can either use your 3 lives or run the full game and in theory move on to level two. Which would have moved you from the beach were he was hatched to the sea were he could grow up and find other sea friends.We have also linked the game to the World wildlife fund so they can find out more about the creatures and how they can get involved to help.

problems

During the process of the game making. we had been challenged and endless research on what we did wrong with some script coding and methods to do out work in.

We had solved and got the turtle moving from left to right knowing it was small mistakes needed to be done. 

Having items (friends and dangers) to drop down in three lanes and understand that how to get it randomnize.

Linking the 
On the second level, we wanted to make it under the sea. where the turtle have safely dooged all the dangers on land to the sea where the adventure begins.

On this stage, we would not only have one perspective going, but also having a angle side perspective which changes during the game.

The dangers would increase and there is more friends to collect and meet.

Ending of L1 - Game Over & or WInning

If you lose the game, it would appear a "Game Over" section where you can go back and start over again to play.



If you win and passed Level 1, 2nd level would appear to tell you that you passed and that next level is there waiting for you.
On each level, there are small changes to it with dangers and friends/food to collect.

So that the idea of the instruction page would still appear there where you can see what changes was made.

Having problems - need to check names

2nd level drawing and ideas

Process with model

Having done and rendered the turtle to the game, we had oticed that even though the turtle is on its own layer, and that there is no background to it, flash still detects the art page that was created and worked on so that even though the turtle is in the middle and small ish, its got a massive boarder that interfears with our gaming.
