The current phase of progress is research on our project right now, the main research for the timeline of events during the first day of the 1916 rising. the game is going to be the first day of the rising and how everything kicked off and started one the most important times in Ireland.

The history of the events are very important and comes first before anything else so we all know where to go with it stylistically and in my case, artistically. I know i will be working with Leah to create a collection of 6/7 stills illustrated to 'set' the story up before the game begins, highly influenced by story mode games.

I will be creating stills such as Foggy playing with hurls to imitate guns with his brothers and dad, then transitioning into the scene of his dad being murdered by being shot from across the field, turning the whole scene into a war zone in the rising. Other stills include a snapshot from a boy running through the cross fire of the rising, Pearse on front of the GPO reading the proclamation and other engagements with key members etc.

These illustrations will be draw in my case as i find that the best method of achieving the look I'm going for stylistically. Then Leah will be colouring the illustrations as well as creating her own versions of the stills.

    Hey Leah! Great blog post I've read the game design document for this project and it sounds really cool. I really like the historical aspect of it it's really significant too which gives you more material to work with hopefully. The art department sounds like it's doing well, I can't imagine the amount of research that's going into this entire project it's good that you have a few people doing it though it's definitely needed! The stills sound really cool there's some great contrast there. I really like how its jumping from before The Rising to during it it'll definitely look cool when it's finished. Best of luck Leah!

First Playable

Overall, the game i'm creating is coming together nicely. The main aspects of the game are present such as the overall terrain, maze walls and gems (collectable). The finer detailing of the game such as the third person view with my character and the additional effects of the gems are set to be installed. I feel as though i'm making good progress and i'm happy with how my game is looking so far. I'm finding the finer details a bit harder to work on such as the scripting as it is very case sensitive. this is just something I will have to get the hang of and work on as I go!  I admit I was behind schedule with my game construction but nothing I couldn't work on, I know what I am capable of and how I'll progress further. I look forward to the final product of my game!

Introduction to loving film

Film is one of the most magical creations of all time in my opinion. Being transported to a new world, filled with new adventures and new people to meet along the way, it sounds a lot like a book, but it’s the visual aspect of storytelling that gives people that magical feeling. From the way in which a film is shot, location, ideas, hidden messages right down to soundtracks, it makes up a different kind of experience from a book, stimulating multiple senses and engaging the audience with the characters and story line. How many times have you seen a movie and have just been mesmerised? The director making you fall in love with characters, grow to love or hate a character, cry at the sad bits and have happy tears at the good bits? The magic of cinema and film truly connects with your emotions and brings you on a roller-coaster. The reason why I love film so much is because the smallest details are important, the angles of the camera, portraying emotions in a character to aid th

Final GDD

Image
This week was about finalising my Game Design Document [GDD], adding the more in depth details regarding my game 'Escape Route'. Adding additional aspects help further the game development process and give both the developer and the user a better understanding of the game itself. For the rest of the semester, I plan to start designing and developing my game on Unity, something I am both scared and excited to do. Mainly as I worry about the overall construction of the game and how it will look and if it'll reach my expectations. Yet I know that with the help of the Unity tutorials, and my finalised GDD it will be easier to carry out these tasks.
