NZTA Game Design Competition

Congratulations to Sophie, Marshall, Autahi and Xander - Winner, Category 1: Game Design 

Document Game name: The Roadbot's Journey

School: Rāwhiti School, Christchurch

Students: Sophie, Marshall, Autahi and Xander

From the students:
You choose to be either the girl or boy in the game and help the robot find their spaceship. On the way you help the robot learn how to make a safe journey when travelling on a scooter, bike, car or when walking.




Judges' comments:
This is a big ambitious game, which looks fun while putting important ideas about road use into action. The Roadbot is an appealing hook for younger players, and externalizing the learner (by having players teach the robot) enhances gameplay.

We like that each level asks the player to make decisions related to different kinds of road use (scootering, bicycling, riding in a car). The maps and character sketches are gorgeous. The design is thoughtful, playful and responsive to feedback.
