Creating a Game from a Static Image
Dec 11, 2020
Hi all,
I created a game from a Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) PDF that was awesome to begin with, but it cried for interactivity! I was not commissioned to create the game and have no affiliation with the government entity, but was given the go-ahead to user their content and images. Let me know your thoughts.
Original static PDF (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/daily-life-coping/parental-resource-kit/index.html - Look under "Board Game for Children" to download).
Here's the game that took around 18 hours to develop to include having to recreate some of the characters in Illustrator.

I love it! Great job!
This is awesome, Brian! Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you and you're welcome! Storyline has yet to be pushed to its limits (and believe me I have tried), and create awesome game-based training. I am curious to how children interact with this game. All six of my kids are grown so I can't test on them;)
Hi Brian,
What an enjoyable course :) thank you for sharing. It gave me an inspiration for my new course. I was planning to add a quiz game which is played through a board but presenting the course with the steps on it is much better way to do it.
Just an idea, what if we go to quiz and info layers /slides when we move to characters on that square?
Thanks again, it is impressive and inspiring.
I'm glad you liked the game! There's so much that can be done in the realm of children and adult learning with Storyline that it has kept me up at night!
I would have to see what you mean by quiz>layers/slides when navigating with characters on a gameboard.
I love using games in my courses too, and your works in bigger boat studio are really cool.
To illustrate what I meant, I prepared a quick demo by using a template I have been working on; https://s3.amazonaws.com/tempshare-stage.storyline.articulate.com/sto_1epokmupnrqm19lp15aq1d0r104v9/story.html
