Design Process:
This game was made for the Game Design Experience class at UCSC. My team and I were tasked with creating a browser-based infinite runner game in javascript and HTML using the phaser game engine framework.
After some ideation discussion, we came up with the idea of driving an infinitely long bus, picking up or hitting passengers along the way. We started with a gameplay storyboard to outline how we wanted the game to play out. Once we had that we split up tasks and got to work creating the game.
