Inspiration
The Inspiration for this project was definitely the SDG's, namely the SDG life below water. Me and my partner really resonate with it and thats why we picked this SDG. We though to ourselves what better way to help with such an abstract issue than to spread awareness and make more people understand the issues these underwater creatures face.
What it does
We made a game which is similar to an 8bit rpg type game. It has 3 mini-levels where the last one is a boss-fight against a submarine boss.
Level One : This is a pretty simple task oriented level similar to tasks in the game Among Us. You clean up the oils spill and move on to the next level. Level Two: You escape the shipwreck you find yourself in by escaping the tons of plastic bottles falling down from it. Level Three : Final Boss Fight Level, i.e you dodge the missiles and deal damage to the boss.
How we built it
We used python and the python framework pygame to build this game. We also used a few rpg artpacks and individual art from the web.
Challenges we ran into
The biggest and only challenge we ran into was time management. Since both me and my partner have been travelling on and off, we hadnt had enough time to work on everything we had planned which is more focus on roleplay, an AI partner to play the game with (though parts of it has been coded and send to you), better hints and help for players to understand how they can make small small strides to making this work safer for underwater animals.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Im proud of the fact that we were able to finish our project in time to submit although we had such huge time crunches.
What's next for the Project
Next steps for the project would definitely be the better roleplay, more animations and sound effects, and last but certainly not the least(perhaps most important), the AI partner to play the game with you. This would be an AI player that basically helps you beat the boss and win the level.
