Game Dev Lab: Retro Platformer: 8-Bit Bloxels Winter 2023 (JCC)

Game Dev Lab: Retro Platformer: 8-Bit Bloxels

Using the Bloxels game design platform, students will implement character-building and storytelling to create their very own retro-style game! Brainstorming our character and villain ideas on paper, we will then move to the digital realm and start to create online. Students will be introduced to basic coding skills through the Bloxels color block system, implementing art and coding to develop their game’s world. We will have weekly check-ins as a class for students to exhibit their progress and gain ideas and insights from others. Everyone’s hard work will culminate in playing others’ games, and the games will be shared with the parents at the end of the semester.

Multiple class enrollments are encouraged, as class projects will always change and students will continue to become better game designers.
