Harvest Time Game

The client requested an interactive game to teach school children about vegetable classification in an engaging way. We created a matching card game where players categorize vegetables across four seasonal farms (Summer, Winter, Autumn, Spring). Each farm has three levels, with rewards and plant/tree growth marking progress. The game encourages replayability, allowing players to explore multiple farms and enhance their learning. Currently, a demo version of the game has been developed, with the Summer farm fully completed and functional. The other farms are still in development and not yet interactive.

Demo Game

Key Features of the Game

Matching Mechanism : Players match vegetable cards and sort them into their respective baskets based on their classification.
Four Seasonal Farms : Each farm represents a season and contains vegetables relevant to that period. (Currently, only the Summer farm is completed in the demo version.)
Three-Level Progression : Each farm consists of three levels, increasing in difficulty and reinforcing learning.
Reward System : Players receive interactive rewards at each level, motivating them to complete the farm.
Final Achievement : Upon completing all three levels of a farm, the player successfully "grows" a plant/tree in that farm.
6. Replayability: Players can move to another farm and start a new journey to reinforce learning.

My Role as the Design Team Lead :

Conclusion:

This project was an enriching experience, allowing me to lead a talented design team in crafting an immersive and educational digital experience. By balancing creativity with functionality, we developed a visually compelling game that aligns with the client’s objectives while fostering a fun learning environment for children. As a Design Team Lead, I honed my skills in project coordination, UX-focused design, and cross-team collaboration, ensuring that the final product was both aesthetically appealing and seamlessly integrated into the gameplay.

This project not only highlights our team's technical and creative abilities but also demonstrates the effectiveness of gamification in education.
