Romy The Robot

A lighthearted top-down game, collect and eat the garbage scattered around various locations.

Players will enter Romy The Robot and step into the wheels of an autonomous cleaning robot. Using keyboard controls, guide Romy through different environments, cleaning garbage from a top-down perspective. Collect the garbage in each level in order to pick up the correct appliance without running out of battery.

Post Mortem

What Went Right

The creation of the art, programming, and implementation of creating the game itself went the most smoothly, and ended up being the most successful.

The art kept a consistent aesthetic, and the programming created a game that was functional. 

The idea-making process itself started out a bit rough but once we started actually creating the game itself, we ended up being on the same page.

What Went Wrong

Our major problem was most often with communication and meeting up. We all ended up with conflicting schedules so we weren’t really able to meet up in person outside of class. Communication difficulties also slowed the process for making the game in some areas as well, and caused an issue with the github.

What We Solved

We were able to solve our communication problems primarily by connecting remotely, and online through discord and pooling all of the files through github. Despite our occasional issues communicating with each other, when we had a problem we all worked to find solutions, which allowed us to complete a viable prototype for Romy the Robot. 

What We Learned

The major learning experience from this project was the game making process itself, especially within a group. We were all relatively new to the game making pipeline so the creation of Romy the Robot contained a lot of firsts and learning experiences for everyone.
