Final GDD

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.

    Hey Leah!
    Loved reading through your Game Design Document. It was laid out nicely and really easy to follow. The whole maze idea is very creative. The game sounds simple enough, which is good because people of any age will be able to play it. Great GDD can't wait to see the final game.

    Hey leah
    just read through your GDD super interesting. i love your idea and your GDDs layout was simple and easy to understand.
    i get a huge crystal maze vibe, which is seriously dope. i love your approach of using the 3rd person view and no better example than Fallout 4!

    have you considered looking into the Horror aspect to make the game more intense?.
    you mentioned 2m between each wall.
    with a low ceiling this could give the players a sense of claustrophobia giving the game a scarier feel!

    Hey Leah!,
    I have to say that I found it to be really interesting to read about your game design document (GDD). I found that your idea is quite fun and intriguing to hear about. What kind of design and tone will your game be? I wonder about because I wasn't entirely sure what you were going for. What type of atmosphere is your game going to have? What type of mood would you like to evoke in the player? Anyways, I can't wait to see you develop your game ideas and concept further. I can't wait to see your final game!

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

game brainstorm

Game idea 1: Maze For this game idea, I drew on inspiration from ‘Where’s Wally’, ‘Roll the Ball’ and many others. The idea of getting from one place to another through a series of events is a challenge everyone enjoys. It sets a task and the user wants to complete it before anyone else does as a sense of accomplishment. It would be a simple enough game design and layout with a easy concept, as I feel those games do well with audiences, people enjoy a simple yet addictive game! Which way is out?? https://www.123rf.com/photo_90454303_stock-illustration-maze-game-scheme-square-labyrinth-sample-illustration-.html Game idea 2: Adventure Puzzle  This game will be more of a challenge than the first one, creating more of an environment or world for the viewer to enjoy. The aim of the game would be simple, to collect tokens or ‘treasure’ to reach the end goal. The inspiration of this game relates back to one of my first blog posts about my favourite game, Temple Run. With a sim
