Activity
- Where did the design inspiration for Kelman come from?
- What aspects of the development of the game were outsourced?
- The band Spiderbait were contracted to write and perform the music for the game. How did this happen?
- Dylan Lewis did the voice-overs. What steps were involved?
- Consider how you could relate the design process outlined in this tutorial to your own major design project. Start by drawing a diagram to illustrate the steps taken by the artist to create the digital game. This diagram might by linear like a flow chart or cyclic. Now compare it to the process you have been using.
Think about your action plan for your MDP. Have you allowed sufficient time for each step?
