COIT20271: MOBILE GAME DEVELOPMENT Assignment 1 Weight: 20% ____________________________________________________________________ Task Description You are required to submit a design and interface prototype for a simple 3D Unity game for Android mobile devices. This should include documentation of the game concept and design details, as well as the beginning of a Unity project that implements some sample interface and game mechanics for your game to give and idea of how the game will run. Your submission should demonstrate application of the knowledge from the first four chapters of the textbook. What to submit? You have to submit the following:  Game concept document (6 marks): this document describes concept of the game that you are going to build. It should show clear play instructions and an end goal. Ideally the document should clearly specify: o Type of the game e.g. racing game, shooting game, strategy game etc. o Single player or multi-player game o Rules of the game such as  Game objectives  Winning and losing conditions  What the players can/cannot do  Game difficulty levels o Challenges that prevent the players from achieving their goals o Game environment and context o Why it is a good mobile game (1 paragraph)  Hint: research what make a good mobile game o Intended audience  Game design document (6 marks): this document specifies o Functional requirements  List functions that the game will have o Non-functional requirements  List other requirements such as hardware/software requirements o User interface design details  Conceptual design of the interface with clear description of each interface element and its function.  Use cases i.e. how to users will navigate between the interfaces to perform different functionality.  Screenshots of the game interfaces implemented in Unity. o Why do you think your interface has a good design (1 paragraph)?  Hint: research what make a good mobile interface  Unity project that implements the game interfaces and some game mechanisms (6 marks) o Show skills in using Unity tools and assets e.g. game objects, materials, lights, shaders, textures, camera and physics. o Show skills in writing scripts to control and manipulate game objects using mobile device assets e.g. touch screen and sensors. o Show ability to use external assets such as 3D models and textures from third party sources.  The proposed game shows creativity and original thinking (2 marks) o Original thinking: 1 marks (no identical game idea) o Creativity: 1 marks (novelty in mechanism and game rules) Submission The entire Unity project should be submitted in a format that can be executed by the marker in the emulator or on an Android phone. Include your design report as a PDF or Word document.
