Production Design Doc.

This is my updated production design document. This needs more work and during the Thanksgiving break I redesigned the document.  Also worked on the questions for the upcoming playtest. The time I know what questions worked and which didn't.

Segway game example

This game was interesting. The controls are pretty basic but I thought it should be something we could look at.

Spaceship background

Sound some spaceship backgrounds. This website has several images, I thought they looked kind of cool.

Mall scenes

Here is a scene for a mall that I found. This scene could be a good starting point when the creation of the background for the mall begins. A side note I realize the image is not exactly a side scrolling shooter but it could be a good starting point.

Zombies

For the game I really  like the ideas that Patrick had which was two different kinds of Zombies. The first was the Zombies are slow and chasing the user. The second was the Zombies run fast and chase the player and jump on them.

Garbage Can

So far I'm loving class. The first part of class was so interesting about how we could change some simple items. So far so good.
