Client Description:

Garage2020 works on helping solve issues experienced by children, youth and parents by designing new solutions tailored to their needs. The company wants to help youth with autism develop their self-confidence, as difficulties they might face in school can lead to insecurities despite other talents that they have.

Description of the Assignment

The goal of our project is to create a serious game that allows youth with autism to gain confidence in their abilities by discovering and developing their talents.

Game Description:

The player starts out in their gallery, where they can paint their own paintings to fill it with. They will have the choice between using a random word prompt or an image as a reference or painting freely. After the painting is finished, it will show up in the gallery and can be shared with other players in pubic or private chatrooms, where they can receive feedback on their art.
