Design Decisions

At this point in the design and development of Function Fighters, I have completed the opening puzzle and some of the basic interaction systems within the game. The first image in my previous post are my notes from the design decisions made about the interaction and opening puzzle narrative and math content. It has been exciting to bring this section of the game to life. 

The image below is more notes on the main part of the mission. This is an update from the early design ideas shown in my previous post. The main mission is comprised of three sections each corresponding to an application of systems of linear equations. The three sub-missions involve rate problems, mixture problems, and coin problems. These are common application problems found in Algebra 1 curricula and align well with the narrative and gameplay of Function Fighters. 

My focus for now is on completing the design and development of one of the submissions. It is the transportation (i.e., rate) problem. The two images below illustrate some of my current thoughts about this portion of the game. 




































I am hoping to link some gameplay video into my next post. Check back soon!
