REFINED BRIEF OUTLINE

To produce a simple Android Tablet game

using stock assets, highlighting the

programming and design challenges.

HIGHLIGHTING THE CHALLENGES?

• Design Document

• Reporting challenges on

the blog

• Open Tracker

• Open Repository

• Written evaluation of the

project

To develop a simple

game for Android Tablets

using the Unity Game

engine

OSM data represented

as a cityscape

THE GAME OUTLINE

THE GAME

Ipswich is in constant decay,

whether it be from disasters

or urban decay. The user

must demolish abandoned or

rubbled buildings to keep

the town in a constant state

of renew. Once demolished,

new buildings can be built

on new foundations.

Design Document

Scripting game systems in C#• Minimalistic GUI• Touch interface• Game Mechanic• Disasters:

• Fires• High winds• Floods

• OSM data represented as Cityscape using Open Source Graphics

• Cityscape Decay:• Rubble , Abandoned, Construction,

Healthy State

Edited stock assets to repurpose for

game asset decay states.

GUI and Title Graphics

Cityscape (Roads, Buildings)

Landscapes (Trees, Parks, Water)

Construction

Rubble Buildings

Fire textures for fires

Water textures for floods

Debris for high winds &

Destruction/Demolition

Open source map data imported

from OpenStreetMap.
