Beta

 In this week's blog, I will be discussing our Beta for the game and what is working and what is going wrong as well as how I'm meeting the targets that were set in the plan for me. This was an important week for the multimedia project as we had an opportunity to showcase all of the work that we have done so far and get some much-needed feedback on it. I think that everything went okay for what we were going for when presenting. Although perhaps we should have more visuals to convey our idea for our game.  My role was 'Asset management' under the level design team. Each week I would collect possible assets that would be used in the game and in the previous week I calculated a possible budget if one was needed. I put the price of every asset that costs money in the list document too. I have managed to stay on track will the targets that were set up for me through the use of the calendar each week. 

 What is working is the Asset list and possible budget. This has been completed when required. Although what isn't working is the team for Assets is too small since we may now possibly be designing some textures and assets for the game ourselves. This would be too much work for two people to do. More people may need to be added to the asset management team in order to meet requirements. I know that I would find it quite difficult to design my own textures, assets, etc with just two people in this team, therefore I believe more people should help out with this if we are going to design our own assets.  Next week we will all meet to finalize everything and I will share all of our research and assets finds and creations on my blog to showcase our sixteen+ hours of work every week.

Hopefully, we have a fully functional and astatically pleasing game to showcase by the end of this project. I believe that it can be done and that the difficulties that we have encountered so far will be resolved by the end of this project and module. By the time we come back after the break, I hope to have all the tasks that were needed to be done to be completed. In the coming weeks, I aim to have all the assets that we chose to use implemented into the game as well as any textures or other assets that were created to create a more realistic look and feel to the game.

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
