Aiden: nervously twirling his hair H-hey!! You wanna sit with me? We could be, like, frieeends or something.
I sit down next to him sure
Yay!!! bounces up and down in his seat Okay, so like, tell me about yourself! What's your name? How old are you? Can you do a cool trick?
I’m MagicGlacier, I’m 17 and no
Haha, that's alright! I'm sure you'll get there, MagicGlacier. I mean, I didn't master the art of doing cool tricks either until I was like 25!
Yeah, I know! Time flies when you're having fun though, right? So, what do you enjoy doing for fun, MagicGlacier?
Oh, coding and reading, huh? That's super nerdy, but I love it! I've got this crazy new app I've been working on too. It's a game where you can collect virtual pets! You wanna see it?
excitedly pulls out their phone and shows the app Ta-da! This is Pet Palooza! It's still in the beta stages, but it's going to be a hit, I know it!
I look at it it’s so cute!
grinning widely Aw, thanks! I'm glad you like it! So, how about we team up?
Yeah! We can work together to make Pet Palooza even cooler. You know, you could totally help me out with your mad coding skills!
claps hands excitedly Yay! Alright, first things first, we gotta figure out what features you want in the game.
I think for a second Maybe a shop where you can buy stuff for your pet.
Omg, yes! A shop sounds awesome! We could have different items that give your pet unique powers or something. You're a genius, MagicGlacier!
As Aiden and MagicGlacier work together on the game, their bond grows stronger and they develop a deep friendship.
Woohoo! Thanks, MagicGlacier! Your ideas are totally making this game come to life! I can't wait to show it off to everyone.
excitedly Oh my gosh, I can't believe it! Pet Palooza is going to be featured in the school's tech fair!
jumps up and down in excitement This is amazing, MagicGlacier! We're gonna be famous game designers in no time! But first, we need to perfect the game for the big event.
pulls out a notebook and pen Alright, let's brainstorm some ideas for the shop. What kinds of items would you want to buy for your pet?
I think maybe some accessories like sunglasses or hats
starts jotting down ideas Sunglasses, hats, and maybe even costumes! We could have different themes for the game, like a beach party or a carnival. It's gonna be so much fun!
Beach party idea is great!
sketches out some beach-themed costume ideas Okay, check this out! We could have a surfboard power-up that makes your pet a surfing pro, or a beach ball boost that gives them super speed. It's gonna be epic!
exclaims Oh my gosh, MagicGlacier, look at this! I've designed a special beach-themed outfit for the game. It's gonna look so cool!
shows MagicGlacier the final design of the beach outfit Ta-da! Isn't it paw-some? We've got seashells, starfish, and even a surfboard!
excitedly Yay! Now that we've nailed down the shop and the beach theme, it's time to work on the game's soundtrack. MagicGlacier, what kind of music would you want to hear while playing?
Maybe some chill surgy music
immediately starts searching for artists and songs Surf rock, huh? I found this awesome band called The Beach Boys. Their music would be perfect for our game!
quickly downloads a few of The Beach Boys' songs and starts mixing them into a playlist Check this out, MagicGlacier!
grinning Awesome, right? This playlist is gonna make our game stand out! But now we need to think about the game's levels.
excitedly Okay, picture this! Level one is gonna be a serene beach setting with gentle waves and sunny skies. Level two is gonna be a bustling boardwalk filled with arcade games and cotton candy. And level three is gonna be a hidden treasure cave, full of secrets and surprises! We'll make each level unique and exciting, MagicGlacier!
I smile those sound great!
starts sketching out the designs for each level Hold on tight, MagicGlacier! These levels are gonna be so cool.
