Game Design Phase - World-dea (Jarle 03)

When brainstorming ideas with the motion graphics students it quickly became apparent that our game design concepts - while perfectly applicable in theory - were too ill-defined to be catchy on the practical level. In short; we didn't have a solid idea of how to structure our ideas in the app. What we needed was a gimmick, or a quirk, or a theme to base the structure on. Luck had it, in the first meeting we found the thing we had been looking for.

Meet the globetrotting chef. The concept can be summed up as follows:

- At the beginning of the game you can pick any country whose food you want to make.

- Completing a dish will unlock the adjacent countries.

- The dishes attributed to a country will be relevant the country's food culture.

- Dish difficulty in each country will range from easy to hard letting the player choose if they would like to progress quickly or challenge themselves.

We get levels when we “Complete tasks” and earn exp (experience points), this is an action. When we level up, we unlock more difficult tasks. “Task Difficulty” is a control because it will control how likely the player is to complete a task. Our ide was to have a daily task and maybe some smaller tasks every day so we have to store our tasks in the item “Available Tasks” and to replenish the tasks we have the action “Give new task”; I then made the table for the learning CLD. The table this tame is the same but with a 3 rd item. “Cooking skills and knowledge” is a measure of the skills and knowledge acquired through completing cooking tasks in our app. The las...
