Directions:

Brainstorm some ideas for a game created with Microsoft Kodu.

Complete the following questions in Microsoft Word.

  2. Mood (whimsical, dark/brooding, does the pace of the game go up and down?)
  3. Characters (behaviors, conflicts, friends, alliances?)
    • Main character (protagonist)
    • Opposing character (antagonist)
    • Other characters
  4. Objects (do the trees, buildings, rocks, etc. hold a special function?)
