VL – Valen has been working on a Scratch game called Bowa. It currently has Levels 0, 1 and 2 that are complete with 5, 10 and 10 rooms each. He will make a copy of his game and will be working on adding to it for his project.

His early goal is to complete Levels 3 and 4 each with 20 rooms. He also hopes to have a Boss at the end of Level 4. He will make sure to add new mechanics in the game to ensure that he is coding new concepts during the culminating activity. One concern is that the game is well polished (looks very nice) and to continue this may require more time with design (graphics, audio, item placement, …) then with coding.
