Assignment:
For this assignment, I needed to work fifty hours on a project of choice. Because I really like video games and board games, I decided to create my own board game. "Bowling Robots" is a board game with a twist: you do not use a dice to move forward on the board, but rather a mini bowling set.
Process:
I started with an idea to create a pirate board game where players had to raid islands to find treasure. However, I was not satisfied with this idea because it lacked a creative twist. Around this time, I began experimenting with the concept of adapting a dice into something else. I decided to use Blender to design my own mini bowling set for the players to use as a replacement for a dice.
Results:
I ended up with a game where the players have to race each other to reach the last tile, and the only way to do this is to bowl. The end result features 4 different pawns and 4 mini bowling sets that the players can use. I also designed the box for the game and the board using Adobe Illustrator and InDesign.
