OXFAM - TOWER DEFENSE

Concept Development

• Quickly, our idea was to make this playful, in order to reach people who normally would not be interested in this. The idea of a simple video game was thus established, then eventually, we decided to make a game of Tower Defense.

• The idea was therefore to gameify Oxfam, translating the various conflicts Oxfam faces into gameplay elements.

Used tools

• For this project, various fakescreens were created byphotoshop, however the main tools for this project wereAudacityandAdobe Premier Pro, for video recording and editing

​

Items I worked on

• As the main Game Designer of this game, my task in this project was to gameify Oxfam. So I was responsible for creating the various turret and enemy functions featured in the video below.

• When organizational and communication difficulties began to appear in the group, I also took on the role of project manager, organizing a meeting to record the video, as well as being responsible for the editing of the video and for the first version of the script.

​

Encountered difficulties

• The project faced many difficulties when, in the last quarter of the project's development, two members of the group stopped communicating.

• This got us in trouble, because one of them was the game's programmer, who hadn't sent out a new build since his first prototype.

• The three remaining members of the group therefore had to organize themselves to be able to present the game despite the lack of a representative build of our work.

What I learned

• For theHard Skills, this project taught me video editing on Adobe Premier Pro.

• For theSoft Skills, this project allowed me to learn how to adapt to unforeseen situations that put the project at risk, especially in team management.
