What type of game are you going to produce?
After playing both Shooter and Platform style games, I found that the Platform style games were more enjoyable to play. This is just because that this type of game was more engaging and replayable. So I will be producing a platform style game.

What will it look like?
My game will take place in a cave. There will be some areas with darkness and some areas with water. I will also try to use various types of platforms such the ice, bouncer and crumbling rocks. My game will also include various bad guys. I will try my best to make sure the setting and theme of my game fit together.

How will the characters be controlled?
The movement of the character in my game will be controlled using the arrow keys on the keyboard. The character will attack by using space bar. There is also a jet pack in this game, to operate the jet pack the player needs to press the key "C".

What will be the objective of the game?
The objective of the game is quite simple, get all the crystals fast as possible. However, getting the crystals will be tricky.

How are you going to test its functionality?
Testing the functionality of the game is important to make sure that there aren’t any glitches in it. I will test the functionality of the game myself and with the help of a classmate.

How will it be evaluated?
I will evaluate my game by making sure that it follows the criteria of a good game which I laid out in my investigation.

How long will you need to create it? Give a timeline for its completion.
I believe that it will take me about a week or two to finish my game. I will do as much of the work I can in class but also take it home for homework if necessary. I will start working on my game by March 8th. By March 19th I will have the beta version of my complete and will start testing it.
