<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIf a character is supposed to be from a certain tribe, I\u2019ll take pictures, with their permission, of course, of different people from that tribe. If a character is supposed to be a sixteen-year-old girl, I\u2019ll take pictures of a few teenagers. I might like the shoes one person is wearing. Another person just might have a cool style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>Today\u2019s first mission is to get up and take photos or videos to show your idea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here is a link to using a Windows computer to take photos or videos<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also use your phone. Walk around your neighborhood. It could even be in your house. One of the Crossroads games teaches about budgeting and the player searches every room to find the unpaid bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Feel free to edit your photo. If you don\u2019t know how, we\u2019ll show you. Select the best photos and upload those to the folder shared with your team.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n You can also take videos. For example, at Warwick Public School last year, one idea the students had was to create a game \u201cGhosts of Warwick\u201d about haunted places in their town. They got permission from the superintendent to have one of the girls on their team, who could have been a track star, she was that fast of a runner, to sprint down the empty school hallway as if she was being chased by a ghost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your other option for artwork is to just draw it out. Just so you know, we only use artwork that was made on a computer. No matter how beautiful your paintings are, if you are going to work in game design, you need to learn how to use a program like Photoshop, Gimp, Blender or Maya. You could start with Microsoft Paint. In fact, we even have some artwork done with Microsoft Paint in Fish Lake!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Artwork and Animation Remember when I said the character was a girl I had met? (Well, you\u2019d remember if you were actually in the class that day already.)
