In today's blog, I will be discussing the research that I have conducted with regard to assets. I have compiled a document of all the assets that I have found up to this point and I included the assets that Nathan found in the document as well. This week I focused on finding specific assets and I have to find exterior buildings that would be suitable to include in our game. First I researched what type of buildings would work for the game. Once I did that, I found quite a few buildings that would be suitable as well as some other assets too. Some of the assets were free while others you had to pay for but, I made sure to keep the price under ten euro as the budget has yet to be set, if needed. I did find some really good assets that would work quite well for the game. The image above will showcase one of the free assets that I found for exterior buildings that were really good. I found this, in particular, to be a good one to use because it gives you multiple suitable buildings for the game and it's free. 

 My role for the project has slightly changed because now there is no separate group just for assets instead I'm under 'Level Design'. I'm in charge of overseeing all the assets that will or may be implemented into the game. I will keep a record of all the assets that I found and the ones that others have found as well as taking note of what ones that are actually being used in the game. For this week I focused on finding exterior buildings for the game, asset prices, adding to the asset list and a budget if needed. 

 Here are the assets that I found this week: (these were added to the main asset list)

    Hey Isabel,
    I can see how much work you've been putting in for this project and its so great. The research you have conducted the past few weeks has given me a great understanding of the project itself. I like the houses you have chosen from the assets store I thin they go really well with the theme of the game, they look exactly like the houses that where around during the 1916 rising. I m looking forward to seeing how the project turns out in the end I'm excited to be able to play the game and see how the research plays into it. keep up the great work !!!

    Hi Isabel,
    That seems like a fun role you have for this big group project, I can tell that you've taken your time to find the most appropriate assets for this game. I really like all the different houses you've chose its given me a great insight as to what the final game might look like! As always the assets that you have to pay for look very effective, but I think that even the free ones would work just as well as you can still get that feeling that you are going back in time from them. I think when they are all brought together it will look really well and I look forward to seeing it and playing the game, good luck in the rest of it :)

    Hi Isabel,
    Good job finding so many assets for your project, some of the buildings you could do yourself, because they don't look too difficult. Its 3 hours job instead of 5 dollars, but I know it isnt your job to produce the assets. You did your job, so fair play for that, but I will suggest to try and find more assets, maybe some nature like trees, plants, bushes, etc to keep up your work hours for the module.

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

Image
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
