How to Create My Own Virtual Movie Making Game

Write out the movie-making game's objective and challenges in a notepad including the amount of players required to engage in the virtual game. Tailor game challenges to the selected age range, such as 12 older. For example, if the players are directors, screenwriters, producers and actors, have the players compete for an Academy Award for best film of the year.

Choose a film genre for the game such as science fiction or a specific period. Draw genre elements like virtual scenes or images with colored pencils or markers in the notepad. Use the colored sketch as guide during game development. For instance, if the game involves outer space, color the position of the planets, aliens and spaceships.

Conduct an Internet search by visiting online hosting and template providers such as StylishTemplate, FreeWebTemplates or FreeSiteTemplates. Open different templates resembling the genre you plan to use, as well as library browsers with pre-existing avatar images. For example, if the players in the game are directors, screenwriters, producers and actors vying for an Oscar, make sure the library browser includes icons or avatars representing the player's style and look.

Choose virtual elements to create the film such as zooming, panning or rotating cameras as well as viewing the scenes or locations from different angles. Alternatively, choose lighting options as well as allow users to create day or night shoots. For example, if the avatar is pitching a screenplay to a production company, view the production room from different angles during the virtual pitch meeting.

Click the appropriate button on the template homepage to activate the "Create the Avatar" feature to create the actors in the movie. It is important the template also include a library browser with existing images. For example, if you are producing a period film, style the avatar actors for the specific era. Another option is to add images reflecting the avatar. For instance if one of the players includes a cinematographer, add camera icons as part of the avatar's image.

Choose virtual scenes and locations, keeping the game's challenges and objective in mind. For example, if one of the challenges requires the avatar to beat the rival enemy in a car chase scene, select images from the library browser to create the road or highway as well as the types of vehicles in the location.

Decorate the virtual scenes by selecting props such as fixtures and furniture, which reflects the action. Most sites allow the user to drag and drop the images into the virtual scene with the cursor. For instance, choose icons like space ships, planets and aliens as part of an outer space scene. Some free website template providers offer limited images; Check with the provider's rules and limitations to upload customized images and save within the library browser for future use.

Create buttons for players to interact with other website avatars. For example, if players win a certain number of points for accomplished challenges, virtual avatars can interact to discuss the game. Check with the template provider for features such as adding an avatar blog or message board for the movie-making players.
