Game Design Document

Cartoon Farm Animals

I have teamed up with Esmee MacPherson, Nicole Goodman, Emma Byrne, Nhi Thai, Robyn Mulhall and Marcin Grabicki for this project. We plan on making an E-learing game aimed at four to eight year olds. Our original plan was to create a game with multiple different subjects to choose from. However after some research we realised that we have to be more realistic with the time that we have, and we have decided to make a maths based game.

We decide that we want the theme of our game to be based on a farm, as it will look colourful and appealing to kids as they will have learned about all different animals. Some of the games will include such things as counting shapes or matching up animals.

We have decided that we want to make this game as an app for an iPad because that is the most common device within children these days.

This week we all made the Game Design Document for our game, we each took a section and researched it and wrote about that in the document.

My section was sound and audio fx, so I looked into different sound effects that would help make the game more enjoyable for the child playing, we will have different animal noises corresponding with the animal. There will also be light and cheerful background music in the game.

Two games that we were inspired by for our game are Animal Crossing and Leap Frog.
