Ideate+Try_To_Make_
The Hackathon rules required only a social media post, however I chose to expand upon the Hackathon assignment and create a game as well. My assets were determined by what I was able to prompt.
Putting_It_Together_
I began by prompting and assembling all the assets:
The actual Holi Babies game was built page by page using Figma Make. The game is responsive for desktop and mobile.
Back_And_Forth_With_AI_
Figma Make does not have native 3D. As much as I tried, the 3D renders were not good quality or resemblant of the character design.
So, I used Flora to create a a character turnaround sheet and used Figma Make to create a character sprite. Combined with the 3D arena, Figma Make created the game using 2.5D.

Its_Not_About_Winning
The point of the game is not to beat an opponent and gain a reward, its simply meant to capture the childlike experience of playing Holi.
