#9n1 Designing your Game - Storyboarding

LO - To understand what a storyboard is, to appreciate the importance and apply to your own coursework.

Starter:
What is a storyboard, who uses them, why are they important?  Will your final game look like your original storyboard? Why / why not?


The SPB requirements for this section are:

DESIGN IT
You must produce a set of designs for your game that are detailed enough for others to visualise the finished product.
These designs should include: 

• all general rules for the game 
• specific rules for each level or scene 
• a storyboard for each level or scene 
• methods of navigation and control 
• anything else you think is important. 

Create your designs for the game.

Ask game testers for feedback on your designs and make changes if necessary.
