Introduction

• Motivation
• Interested in Game Developing
• Response to the Governments Effort in promoting
  Creative Industry in HK
• Objectives
• Develop a 3D adventure Game with multi-gaming
  styles. Such as a wide range of minigames and
  control systems.
• Beautiful Graphics and Exciting Sound Effects are
  also emphasized.
