    Concept and ideas

    The concept for this game was that the player, a young student learning basic math, would have to make potions for his clients. The potions would then be made out of ingredients resembling numbers and the potion would be the result. They would then need to figure out which numbers the could add to make the desired solution.

Development

Shop

In the shop the idea was that the player would recieve items from the clients that they could the use to personalize their shop area. This was made with the idea of motivation the player to do more math. The clients would also arrive sick and leave healthy for each potion crafted giving the player the feeling that they helped.

Potion making

In the potion making area the player had to do the actual math, In this the ingredient looked like numbers and playing with them would increase or decrease the potion counter. The player would then need to add the correct ingredients to make the potions. They would have an ingredient book in which there would always be one ingredient missing.

Still a prototype

While the game looks finished it’s actually still a prototype. We had to make the game look like how it would look if it where completely finnished but the intention behind it was to something that would show clearly the idea with the intention to find someone willing to invest in the actual creation of it.
