Reflection of design process

I was pretty happy with the way my level turned out in the end of the semester. i think my walls went well with my story. The questions we got helped me a little bit more for making new ideas to improve my level. If i had more time i could probably make my level a bit better the it is now knowing quite a bit in unity.

One thing i would change though is the texture on the wall covers. It wasn't really well done because i was rushing. I think if i put more effort into it i could have done all my textures/assessts better.

I also should of made the terrain with some height and depth. That was also a let down in my level. Overall all im Ok with my level.

My interface

Here is a image i have put together to show how i would set out my interface and layout for a suitible way to give the user good feed back and not leading them away from the game. I have used one clipping from one game screen shot to show how i want it laided out.(Fallout: the pitt)

final assests and objectives list

Below are the objectives and asset list for my level.

The objectives will be used to make progress in the story

The 1st objective is simple: kill borna's men and there weapons.

2nd objective is to find and kill gundown boran.

The 3rd objective speaks for itself.

Assets for level

Here are my assests for my level

pot plant

here is a render of my pot plant.

game target audience, platform, genre

The target audience i am aiming for is 14+yrs because i would have blood and shooting/killing enemies.

The genre of the game would be first person shooter.

The platform would be for ps3.

The game tilte is "the pitt".

My control scheme

This is my control scheme for my game.

This here is basically a default control scheme for all fps games on the ps3.

Q1 - 5

1. The game i will talk about is jericho. When you play the game it is very dark and hard to see when walking through some levels. They can make it better if there was more light and colour in the some levels and not just black. I know it's meant to be a scary game but whats the point in playing if you can't see. The game has hardly any subtiltes so It wouldn't be good for death people. They should put subtitles in it. I would also have for the game a sensetivity pad for people with disability's.

2. Audio is very inportant because for example if someone shoots a missile you are able to hear the missile comes towards you and without audio, you will have less advantage of avoiding being hit by the missile. Audio gives the player feedback and let's you know of your surroundings. If there is a timer in a game and the time gets low, the audio will get faster leeting the player know that the time is running low.

3: I played lost planet 2: and i don’t think the interface compromised the fun factor of the game because the interface didn’t get in the way of my playing and would let me know when it's almost gmae over because of the certain amount of times you can die.health . Some interfaces in games do compromise the game but no game that i have played in the last 6 months.But i reckon a nice laid out and easy to look/use/see interface can contribute to the fun of the game.

4.Lost planet 2 is really good at displaying primary and secondary goal in feedback. They show there primary goal like how much T-eng you have left (It is health), ammunition and grenades. the secondary goal is challenging because you need to upload your radar and to do so you have to find the dataposts in the level whilst doing that it only shows a little white dot on your radar when you see one.

5. There have been like no games that i have recently played that have a bad interface although there are a few that could be improved by changing the layout and gameplay.

vines

I want my vines growing through my roof top and hanging down from the rooftop also. I couldn't find any decent pics on the internet. These were the best i could find to try and show use my what im trying to do.

blown up car pic

These are similar to what i want my blown up cars to look like in my level. But also have smoke coming out of them. Have no idea how im gonna make it though.

Objectives and assets list

Above are my objective and assets list. For your objectives it is quite simple; 1st and main objective is to kill your enemy gun down Boran. Your 2nd and final objective is to grab your enemy's flag and once done, you are free from prison. For my assets list i do not have many of them because my battle arena isn't that big.

character story 3

My third character is Boran Folkes, also known as gundown Boran. He is a 35 year old man who has a wish for killing. Before he went to prison, he suddenly went on a rampage and starting killing innocent people around america including Matt's wife. After 2 years the police finally caught Boran and he was guilty and sent to life in prison. He has a sick mind and only has one thing his mind, thats killing.

my story changed

i have decided to change my story. Matt Holmes , the 32 year old man has purposely robbed a bank to go to prison because he wants to kill the man who killed his wife. His name is Boran Folkes but everyone knows him as gundown Boran because he's a machine with weapons. In this certain prison they have one on one fights with guns and win 10, you are free to go. Boran is the champion and has won all his matches. Matt must beat 9 men until he can vs Boran. But as always noel will be there to guide him.

My level idea

For my start of my level, matt will run out into an arena. The objective is he must kill his enemy's and reach the enemy flag to add another point to his level wins. The enviroment will be like a war. blown up cars, smashed walls and walls to take cover from. thats all i got so far.

character 2's story

My second main character is noel harting. A 36 year old man from chicago. He and matt become very good friends when Matt goes to prison. He is his right hand man and always has Matt's back. Though noel does not go out fighting with Matt, he will always have information on the oppisite team and the best way to win, or better words live through the day. Noel was sent for prison on the charge of armed robbery. He has been sent for seven years and has been in prison for 2 years. He was in a bad state and was low with money. He then regreted doing his actions, and payed the consequences. If he does good behaviour, he only will havew serve another 3 years.

Q3

For resistance 2, the game's genre is action. For this game, the levels are full impact action with lots of shooting and crazy enemies. The risk in levels are if shot to much, you will die and start back at the last checkpoint. The reward is if finished the level, you move on to next one and get closer to finishing the game. Your goals are to defeat enemy's and move through the levels. The genre for the game mario kart is racing. In the levels your goal is the finish in the best position you can. The risk is if you do not finsh in the top four, you will have to do the race again. The reward is if you finish in the top 4, you will get points adding to your score. Finally for street fighter, the genre is fighting. Your goal is to fight and defeat an enemy in a level and progress through stages. The risk is if defeated, you have to fight the enemy again. the reward is if won, you get closer to fighting the final boss.

Q2

The games i played were super mario bros, mario kart and mario kart wii. For the mario games, super mario bros was made in 2d graphics and had the camera follow mario/luigi from a side on view. The game only had a 2 player system. 10 years on maraio kart was realeased and was made as a 3d computer graphic game and it has a 4 player system. The camera was behind the player and followed your character until the race finished. 10 years on from that, mario kart wii was released on nintendo wii. This game allows the player to race online with other people around the world. In a race, they have made a total of 12 characters (including yourself). You have a total of 24 characters and 36 vehicles to choose form. The vehicles you can choose are go karts, bikes, and jets all with there own unique features.

Q1

If i were to develop a game from the 80's, i would create a platform game simply because they were the most known game types made in the 80's. I would do something similar to mario but make a different character. I would make it a 2 player co-operative game and also a multiplayer game to battle each other.

More images for my idea

MISTAKE!

BEFORE READING MY CHARACTER STORY I WAS MEAN'T TO SAY DALLAS, TEXAS NOT OHIO, TEXAS!! REGARDS T-VIRUS

My character's story

My character's name is matt holmes. A 32 yr old man born texas Ohio. He is a former us marshall in the united states army. He has been accused of the murder of will Palmers, and sentenced for 12 years in prison. Nate was a business man who worked for a company named NCC (Niegro community centre). Matt was seen At the shop by a witness at the same place around the same time when Nate was killed. Matt was proven guilty until further investigation. He knows he is innocent and his family know it to but they have no evidence to prove it wasn't him. In The texas prison the intakes are able to play a game called death match which is only for the fate hearted and desperate. The aim of the game is there are 2 teams and you must beat the other one to adfd to your score.You must win 20 matches of intense shooting and insane races. Some matches they will be on foot and must reach the other teams flag first. The only thing is, they all have gun's. Other matches you must race in cars and win to that score. The only thing is, that's right they have weapons built on there vehciles. For Matt, this is an oppurtunity tp be free much earlier then expected.

This is what i got so far for my character and his story. Tell me what you think.

some images of my idea

I think mixing these 2 would be epic!

One of my story ideas

I thought of doing a man who went to prison for murder but was innocent and only he knows it. To get out of prison I have thought of the same idea as the mover "gamer". But instead it's not a game, and he controls himself. He has to last 20 rounds of intense shooting and fighting other men. The aim of them to win is you have to make it to the end of the level, alive of course. In my idea i also thought to mix it up a little so some stages they have to race and win and other stages have fist fights. After You have won 20 rounds, you get let go. Thoughs anyone?? Tiernan

I need to get a url to post a blog. How do i get one? help please
