Team 11 - Senior Decisions

Inspiration

The game that we are creating is called Decisions and it is focused on gang violence and gang activity which is prevalent within our communities in NYC. The structure of the game itself is inspired by the movie Black Mirror: Bandersnatch on Netflix which is an interactive movie that allows the viewer to control the actions of the main character which affects the the outcome of the end of the movie.

What it does

The game will allow the player to control the actions of the main character who has their own backstory which is something that the player needs to know in order to be more considerate when making choices. It will focus on the character's journey in high school throughout their 4 years which will be displayed in 4 different levels. The purpose of the game is to show the importance of decision making and the impact that it has on your future relating to gang activity.

How we built it

We built it by using scratch. We initially set up a chart that shows consequences of the actions of the character which further leads to other consequences and so on. There are multiple endings due to the number of outcomes that these consequences can have.

Challenges we ran into

A big challenge for us was trying to create the consequences to keep the game interesting while also abstaining from making the game too intricate or complex

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud of creating a chart that successfully displays the structure of the game and how well we incorporated the issues of gang violence into the actions and consequences.
