Game Design: Star Fall

My favorite grad school project thus far has definitely been this game design project. I love games and I love learning so I wanted my game to have an educational component. Star Fall is a speed recognition game that requires players to match constellations. It may seem like a simple matching game, but through repeated play and exposure players will begin to recognize constellation patterns which will hopefully aid them in finding constellations in the night sky. This game specifically features the constellations found in the northern hemisphere.   Class: Traditional Communication Studio, Spring 2018 Professor: Christian Dunn
