Game Development Overview
This month, I was invited to give a talk to a high school computer class in the Fountain City area of Knoxville on the basics of game development. This talk covered some of the major tools that are available for creating games. I covered many of the 2D game engines such as Stencyl, Construct2, and Game Maker as well as 3D game engines like Unity and Unreal Engine. I gave quick demos of each of these tools. I also covered many of the free tools that can be used to create graphics, models, sound effects, and music.
Monster Hotel
Overview
All of the monsters in Monsterland stopped by the local bar for a few drinks after a hard day of monster work.
Since drinking and driving is not permissible in Monsterland, the monsters need to find their way to the Monster Hotel to stay the night. As the owner of Monster Hotel, you need to help the drunken monsters find their way to your establishment.
All monsters coming out of the bar are boogey men. Use your powers to transform the monsters to make their way to the Monster Hotel.
Wolf Man – Can dig through ground
Vampire – Allows the monster to land softly from a long drop
Frankie – Blocks other monsters from proceeding
