- 2. "Feupinho" just enrolled in FEUP ! and has to collect ECTS to finish his 5 year Masters Degree...! ! ...while avoiding the deadly distractions of parties and alcohol along the journey.! h#p://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRes02ExXuM
- 3. Abstract! "! "- Retro-style pixel art single player platform game! "! "- The player has to complete the Msc. Degree by gathering 2 types of collectibles, books and the master thesis, which increase feupinho ECTS count! ! ! ! "- Avoid touching 2 types of enemies: Beer and "Licor Beirão" bottles!
- 4. Abstract! "! "- Each contact with an enemy wastes one enrolment year of five available. When the enrolment years reach 0 => Game Over! ! "- Victory Condition: completes all the disciplines (books) and also grabs the thesis! => wins the degree, graduating from the course! ! ! "- Game inspired by the classic Bomb jack Distinctive Features: ! 1) grabbing items unlocks Different items! 2)Difficulty increases in the same level and the collectible “books” is spawned randomly too! 3)Real narrative behind the game!
- 5. Game Play! "! "! "- 12 disciplines (12 ECTS) each year till the fourth. Fifth year composed of 5 disciplines plus thesis (difficult to reach like…)! ! "- To advance year player has to pay tuition.!! "! ! "- Avoid bottles. Beer move horizontally and "Licor Beirão" vertically! ! "- Each year: more bottles in increasingly difficult positions to avoid!
- 7. What we've conquered! "! "! "- Stencyl understanding: actors, scenes, behaviours, images, sounds...! ! "- Pixel Art Skills: all the assets excluding the game trees are proprietary and the group didn't have experience in it! ! ! "- Chiptune Sound Design: only one Sound FX is not proprietary: cash register. Hands-on Learning of musical theory elements! Own version for victory screen music was created, but not implemented in final version of prototype
- 8. What were our difficulties "! "! "- Stencyl debugging is difficult: errors are not explained! ! ! "- Simplification of form and color is not easy when creating pixel art . Giving an attractive look using a reduced number of sprites (32x32 resolution) => takes lots of production time (coloring px by px)! "- creating a musical structure that doesn’t become boring for the Chiptune (RetroGaming) genre is a challenging task! "! "- The most useful platforms for creating this kind of sound waves are not flexible!
- 9. Future Developments"! "! "- Creation of personalized levels with characteristic symbols for each FEUP course! ! "- Development of Menu and Game Instructions Screens "! ! "- More character animations – EG. jump, fall, injury! ! "- Music variations that follow the flow of the game ! ! "- Final Boss inclusion …. !
