Week 5-Project

 Game vision statement



 Game genre: The game genre that I will be choosing from a serious of options like shooters, action adventure and role playing games I was having a hard time in thinking what type of game I wanted because when ever I get told a project and we have all the power to make it anyone I want I get and have so many different ideas in my head it gets too much sometimes and I had to realise that I was only new to game development so all the complex and cool features that I wanted for my game would be very difficult so I went for one of the simpler routes and chose to make a plat-former game.


Gameplay: The gameplay for the plat-former was going to be similar to how super Mario gameplay is because one I liked super Mario so it would be fun to make a game similar to it and Mega man another plat-former just like Mario but instead of just jumping around just like in Mario, Mega man has a shooting aspect in the game, so I know that I'm definitely going to have coin collecting aspect in the game just like Mario but I don't know if ill add a shooting part to my game I would like to but it really depends on my skill and knowledge to add and implement that into my game.


Resources required: I don't really understand this part by resources required but I'm assuming it just thing too help the person when making the game, I'll will be looking at a couple of unity tutorials on how to make a plat-former, it's going to be 2D so I would definitely need to since I only successfully made 2 3D games, then I would need to find a sprite pack for the player character and the other assets like the background, terrain and coins etc and also need to learn how to get the animations right as-well because I don't want to have a static character in one pose moving up and down it would look horrible.

    Hey, sounds like an exciting game and busy game. It sounds really fun. I enjoy adventure games and think it will be more fun with the ability to shoot. I think it is good you have two games that you can get inspired by to make your own game. Are you going to add any extra features yourself? Do you have any theme for your game like horror, comedy etc.? Mario is a very fun game and you can get many different ideas from it. I had a look on the links you shared, they look good and explain things well. Goodluck in your project.

    Hey David,
    i really enjoyed reading about your game vision and the direction that your planning to go with it, the overall premise of the game seems interesting with it being similar with the classic mario. Have you concisered adding a new mechanic that them game didn't have? Have you decided on the levels yet?

Week 4-Project

 Game Idea Research  From my brainstorm that I have done last week I have now been thinking about type of game I want to make based on all the ideas I made from the brainstorm Ideas that I came up last week and I think I want to make a 2D plat-former type of game, because I believe i'll will have a very enjoyable process when designer the game which is very important that's why it took me a while to pick which idea I wanted to do because one of my ideas was making a zombie fps game but then I realised how hard that's going to be especially with me that has very little game design knowledge. The second reason is because when I was younger I did play a handful of 2D games especially on my DS lite when that was a thing so it would be pretty cool to make a 2D plat-former game. I really want to have the plat-former aspect as one of my game mechanics for this game the movements would be kind of similar to super Mario.  https://www.youtube...

Reading week 3-Game design

 Reading week 3-Game design What is a game anyway?:  Reading this made me see that theres to just calling a "game" a game because theres a lot more stuff going into making a game, at first when I saw the article I didn't want to read it because I thought most of it would just be common sense, but then I read the Critical Vocabulary section which made me laugh because what is said was true when we describe a new game to someone, one of the ways we do it is by describing them from other games like this game is basically a downgraded Grand Theft Auto or this game is a mix of Call of duty and Rainbow six siege, and it's not an accurate answer at all because the game most likely doesn't even play like the games we would describe it's like, it's a pretty vague and not a very detailed answer, but most people that play games for a while would understand it, but then I was thinking of the point of view of someone that doesn't play games and how would they diges...
