Progress Report

Since downloading the program Game Maker, I've used its tutorials to familiarize myself with its features and functions. After learning most of its tools, I felt I was at the stage where I was ready to produce my own game. To help me decide on the game that I would produce, I downloaded different packs from YoYo Games that contained sprites and backgrounds, and then used them as an insight into the different objects I could use, and would most like using. I found a sprite of an explorer/archeologist type character, and this gave me the idea of making an RPG game where the player takes up the role as an adventurer trying to search for an ancient relic. However, after considering the audience that my product, and the show itself, is targeting, I thought making a game about someone like a student would be better, because my target audience is primarily made up of college pupils; therefore they could connect with my product more. After drafting different stories and narratives that my game could follow, I thought a fun game would be about a student trying to escape college, but comes across different obstacles on the way; such as teachers for example!
