Inspiration

We were inspired by the many puns in the introduction of AUHACK. With this inspiration we decided to create an adventure based game of AUHACK.

What it does

Our character goes through some of the experiences of being at this MLH event. While being at the event he goes through becoming a true super dad. The only way to become a true super dad is to learn the way of dad jokes and puns. Hopefully you will find our game entertaining and enjoyable.

How we built it

We used Unity to create the game mechanics and animations. We used photoshop to make some artwork for the game and used two arduino's to make connections via. bluetooth and controls.

Challenges we ran into

Arduino and bluetooth communication both ways can be very tricky. We had to cut back on the communication both ways and make it a one way communication to inform the player about a certain situation in the game. We had many ideas some bigger than others. Therefore we had to cut back on many concepts, which could have enriched the game's overall experience.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We have created a game with a nice story line and loveable characters. Even though not all of our plans were executable in 39 hours we still had a great time enjoying our happy character and the journey he has been through.

What we learned

What we learned from this experience is that time is always a factor and when the overall time is pushed down to 39 hours you'll have to make some decisions early on. Some ideas are just too big and unrealistic in this timeframe. So be realistic when your ideation phase is over.

What's next for Dad Pun Tho'

I don't think we will be developing Dad Pun Tho' any further since it has served its purpose of this event. We have had a great time developing, designing and playing our small game with a lot of laughs.
