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 9-project

  Week 9 Alpha  My project for this week has been going pretty well I was able to catch up to the point I was at, before I deleted my other file my accident, I was having a bit of problems because my unity was just being very glitchy and it crashed multi of times but I was able to get the work done, which I'm happy about. Here are some screenshot of what I was doing the this week, I made my own level using the tile and grids at first it was very annoying to do because I kept on forgetting to add the grid so the tiles could be on the screen but after a while I got it and then I had to slice all the pixels to 16 by 16 to make it fit the grid I also had to do the same for the sprite character. And there is also a bit of code I just started in I'm able to make the player move left and right and the player can jump

Project week 7

 prototype My game development was going pretty good until I accidentally deleted the file because I bought the file I was working on in a different folder and I deleted that folder with it, but it's ok I'm going to start again but I can talk about how the process was going for me the good and the bad. The good was that the coding was going pretty good thanks to the tutorials that shaun put us on, on the unity tutorials but then I went on to youtube to learn more about coding especially more on 2D plat-former type of coding because thats the game I'm making so It was pretty helpful for me when I was looking at the tutorials.     Id say I only had a couple problems  was that my work rate has been lacking lately but I'm going to bounce back now so it took me a bit to get to the point of how developed the game was before it was deleted because of my stupid mistake and the second one was picking the sprite and background and all the oth...

Week 7-Reading

 Games decisions I have  spent at least 30 minutes browsing each of the articles which are "Building a Princess saving app", "Flow experience in computer game playing among thai university students and the video "What is Flow Theory in game design". My perspective on game decisions has also changed, when I was reading the Building a princess article the  learning curve and what can a game teach the player, when I saw the graph for the learning curve for traditional apps I didn't realise that you really don't gain any other useful skills from your time your using the traditional app, I also liked the part where the person writing this was comparing it with photoshop and how it said it took him 3 years to learn photoshop because of how complicated it is, but I find photoshop very easy to use and only took me like 2 weeks to understand most of it., but unlike a traditional app, the skills you learn in a game for example the original super Mario you learn a...
