Create a revised object of the game based on your ideas and recommendations to improve it.
You have limited time to fill a bucket that is required to fill in order to pass through a part of the world
List 3 or more specific changes you would make to the game. Why and how will these changes improve the game?
- There would be a part of your screen, being a bucket, which you can progressively fill up, needing to completely fill to pass a part of the world
- The map would be have a overhaul, having sections or regions
- Each level would build off of each other, further progressing the bucket being filled
List 3 or more reasons why the original designers did not choose these changes and ideas you identified.
- It might not have fit the aesthetic they were having
- Too extreme for the target audience, that being kids
- Weren’t wanting it to be too in depth
List 3 or more reasons why these changes may be difficult to include if the game were revised.
- Trouble with the script
- Cost money
- Would have to remake most of the scripts and mechanics that are in place, further exposing it to glitches and problems, which would then cost money and time
Briefly explain why you would like to make these changes
Candy Crush in all was a good game that didn’t really need anything new at all, it had everything that it needed, but if I were hired to revise and change Candy Crush I would make the changes I previously mentioned. I believe that it would bring a new feel to Candy Crush, as you need to, on each level build off of each to get further. It would give a new level to the map system. And overall give people and incentive to revisit Candy Crush.
