In the Design Methods module we have been tasked to re-design the look and layout of Playtecs Sportswheel game. I have chosen to use a Formula 1 racing theme for my re-design. I chose the F1 theme since it has a massive audience, several million people watch F1 around the world. I hope this will result with a large potential player base for the game itself.
I plan to replace the wheel in the game with a racetrack, possibly a real F1 track if I can re-create it to my satisfaction. I plan to enclose buttons in objects you'd see on an F1 track, a traffic light for instance. I quite like the idea of making the different coloured betting chips into F1 wheels, with different coloured tires to tell them apart.
This is a quick sketch I drew to help visualize what my re-designed game would look like. The art is very bad, but drawing this helped me to create the computerised sketch below.
This is a computerised version of the sketch, which I created using PowerPoint. I believe this picture shows a rough outline of what my game may end up looking like. In the picture you can see I have contained the 'Go', 'Reset', and 'Exit' buttons in the green, yellow and red lights on the traffic light respectively. You can also see a representation of the grand stand complete with circles to symbolize the crowd. I plan to make the crowd hold up a banner via an animation when the player wins. The banner will say something like; "Congratulations! You've won £15!"
This concludes my brief summary of my re-design. As I continue the re-design process I will periodically update my blog with images of my re-designed game as it is being developed.
