Description of the Assignment
Fontys Sporthogeschool has given us the challenge to create a game experience to teach their students about different kinds of movement. With the game Fontys Sporthogeschool wants to achieve an easier and more efficient way of teaching students what muscles to use with these types of movement and how to get a better posture while doing so. The game will be based on keyframes in which the player can modify a “puppet” that can be seen on screen. The player can modify the different joints of the puppet to prepare it for the movement that the goal of the level describes.
Game Description
The game will have a special puppet on the screen that the player can modify. The puppet has different joints, and the player can change their positions to prepare for specific movements. The game will have different levels, and each level will focus on a different movement. The first level will be about standing up from a seated position, the second level will be about taking a step, and so on.
The game will be like a simulation, where the player can look around the gym-like environment and zoom in to see the puppet’s joints more clearly. The goal is to educate the students in a fun and engaging way, so the game will be challenging but also enjoyable.
