Initial Ideas and Later Revisions

Cummings Crosswalk started off as a 3D idea of the nature of the real-life Cummings crosswalk. As a comic game, we thought of the different ways different kinds of people behave on the crosswalk, and decided that we wanted to depict that in a game that Tufts students would find fun. We started off trying out a 2D scene with the whole intersection (with 3 crosswalks), then we decided to simplify it into just one crosswalk. In addition, we began with the simple law-abiding student who only goes on green and expanded from there to students who run, walk slowly, move haphazardly, and so on. We also moved from one car moving upwards to two lanes of cars moving up and down. We made other additions like a screech scream sound and an ambulance on every collision, but one of our biggest changes was dividing the games into levels and rewarding players.
