Game Development 10 to 17 · Course 1 of 5

Roblox 1

Rank earned: World Builder

A collection-survival game where the player is chased and loses if caught. Robocoders design, model, animate and rig their own world and characters, and build NPCs, cut-scenes and a pathfinding enemy. There is a genuine storytelling element.
