Exercise

In this week's Exercise, we were divided into a group of 5 and used neither Method 3: S.C.A.M.P.E.R nor Method 4: 3(i) to brainstorm ideas that could lead us think of a story based on a published 2D platformer game. At first, we think of one 2D platformer game we know or played. So we came up with Cookie Run, Fireboy and Watergirl, Terraria, Plants vs Zombie and Soul Knight. In the end, we used Fireboy and Watergirl as the base of our concept.
