Create-A-Game

Teaches first graders that people make video games.

Create-A-Game is a project I made to introduce young kids (first graders) to game development. A good friend of mine is a first-grade teacher and wanted to create a curriculum that would be highly educational, interactive and, most importantly, fun! I created a game in which players select what they want the game to have, so kids get to choose what kind of game they want to play. The goal is to help young kids realize that PEOPLE actually make video games and make decisions about art, sound, coding and design.

I solo-developed and created all of the assets for this game in Unity. It was a fun challenge to make a game where almost everything changes based on what players pick, and it taught me to think of EVERYTHING as modular as possible.

The video is the educational lesson I made to go along with the game! :D
