Meeting1: 

Inspiration

Mood board

In the second meeting, we share topics for the final. 

Rough Game Mechanism

As we studied and researched the topic's core experiences, we started building the mechanism. 

Meeting 2 and Class Meeting with John (Feedbacks) 

In the class meeting, We shared with John, and these are the feedbacks. it helped us to clear interactions and experiences for our game in addiction, avoidance. 

Meeting 3: Developed Concept and Idea Sketch 

in the Third meeting, we got fundamental game experiences and sketches out. From this ides iteration, we planned to hide the tree as a final goal from level 1, 2D experience, and reveals in level 2 when the perspective switches.  it would be better if players can see their self-esteem cultivated or fade through the game experience. 

Final Game Mechanism Based on Research

We divided design work into 2D and 3D assets design. we did 2D minigame designs in illustration analogous to Instagram experience. 

for a better transitioning experience between the 2D to the 3D world, We decide to have the low poly design. 

Level 1: 2D Minigame Design Final
