Alpha

In today's blog I will be discussing the current development of my Alpha game, so far I have an 'Introduction' scene and a level that follows one characters' journey from start to end. My game is slowly beginning to get to where it should be. I have recently created an 'Ending' scene to this level also. I will discuss the challenges I faced creating this 'Alpha' game, what worked and didn't work!

 Issues include; the 'Start' button not appearing or functioning and and the scenes not building or playing in sequence. When I go into 'play' mode, the scenes don't appear in the correct sequence. However, all the dialogue and interactions between the characters are completed for this level, through the use flowcharts. I will include screenshots of my flowcharts, below.

 I am hoping to create at least three levels for this game but in order to do this, I will need to solve the technical problems above. On completion of the development of this game, I hope to have all technical problems solved.

 Based on my plan, outstanding work includes: 

  • creating two more levels
  • Fixing sequence issue with scenes
  • Fixing any errors in the flowcharts
  • Fixing any bugs in 'play' mode
  • Fixing the 'start' button in the introduction scene
Here are some screenshots of my Alpha game in Unity:

    Hi Isabel! I see you are using Fungus for your dialogues... How is that going for you? I tried working on it too, but it's not quite what I expected it to be... Or maybe I'm doing something wrong, hard to say.
    Your game looks pretty good so far, though the screenshots are more on a technical side, rather than what the player will see... Will it be just a 2D game with different options, kind of like visual novel games? That could be quite cool actually, but would require a lot of character expressions and scenery...
    Anyway, its looking great, so keep up the work! I'm very curious what will come out of it.

    Hey Isabel,

    Wow your game is looking really impressive and it looks like your making great progress. The visuals for your game are incredible and I love the idea of your game. Your game seems really unique I haven't seen any game like this from all the blogs I have read so far. I can't wait to see what the final game is like and what you add onto your levels.

    Keep up the good work :)

    Hey Isabel,
    Wow! just Wow!
    I enjoyed reading your blog and getting to understand how your game is going and your progress. First impression look on your game is just amazing, it looks really impressive. I really liked your second screenshot. Looks very good and the image is very vivid. It reminds me of when I used to play pokemon games. Anyway good luck with your progress. I'm sure you will do great. Can't wait to see how your game will turn out next.

Im really looking forward to seeing your game when its completely finished its going to be so fun and have really good graphics I'm sure. keep up the good work, Im so jealous of how you game is coming along just keep going :)

Introduction to a future something....?

Introduction Post: The best class that I took last semester was 'Design Process & Practice'. I really enjoyed this module last semester because I found it to be very interesting and creative. I really enjoyed using the program, 'Illustrator' when I was making posters, leaflets and some lab task work. I found it to be exciting because it was a module where I could let my creativity fly! I also found the group assignment to be informative and fun. I found working in a group to be an experience which intrigued me. I worked on projects in a group for an assignment and we would meet up and describe our ideas and do brainstorms. We also chose to do one task each and come in and meet up and discuss and present what we each had done. I chose to do the research and statistics part because I taught that i would found that job to be the most interesting for me. This module really helped me gain a better understanding of how to use the program, 'illustrator' and how t

Final Game Design Document

I have completed my final GDD (Game Design Document). My previous GDD didn't have enough detailed information in it where I would be able to hand it over to games developer and programmer. It would have not been enough information for my game to be produced and made the way that I wanted. Therefore I updated my DunDoc . All of the required information for my game will be in my GDD DunDoc. There is now a game architecture feature in my GDD as well as any other information that was needed. Screenshot of my DunDoc GDD

Game Vision Statement

Welcome back to my blog! Today, I will be discussing my chosen game genre and what the game-play of my game will be like. The genre that I chosen for my game is a children's interactive educational story based game. The style of the game will be simplistic yet, cute meaning that I will have 'cute' looking characters in my game to appeal to children. The game will be colourful and 'animated' looking meaning, it won't have a realistic style to it. I believe choosing this type of style will appeal to my target audience for my game. My game will be story-based which means that the player will choose from a list of choices in response to for example; a question or a route that they may take.                There will be many interesting tasks and choices that the player must make in order to not bore the player resulting in the player quitting the game before completing it. The game will be very interactive which will  hopefully keep the player interested and inve
