And so it beggins!

Ok so this is My blog! I guess I'll be using it as a place to share what I'm currently working on and maybe to even get some feedback :)

So I'll get started right away!

For the 2nd half of this semester we've been given a assignment to create a 30 second FMV that advertises a game that we will also be coming up with a concept for. At the end of the project the FMV will be screened to a panel of industry proffesionals!
Scary! but exciting!

The team for our project is myself, Ben Hayward and Matt Cooper.

We've made a start on the concept document and have been sending drafts back and forth, it's in its final stages so should be done by Tuesday.
We've decided to create a horror adventure game that has a huge world and plays a lot on scale of the objects in the landscape giving the player a sense of being lost or alone, helping give the game the sinister twist we want it to have.

The player will be a young boy who wakes up in a world he knows nothing about and doesn't remember how he got there. He sets off to find answers in a world where everything is not as it seems.

that's the basic idea anyway!

10 design lessons from 10 years in games

10 years ago I started working in the games industry. Along the way I've picked up a few things that I wanted to record (for my own sake!) and share with you. 1. Understand the problem before chasing a solution Don't be tempted to start designing a solution when the problem is not fully explored and understood, take the time to focus on what you're trying to resolve. Make sure you understand what the solution needs to accomplish then formalize your findings, write them down. Develop goals. Present these to other team members, discuss and amend them as required. It's always better to debate the purpose of a feature than to debate a feature with no obvious purpose. 2. Don't pop an idea before it's fully inflated When a new idea or feature is proposed it's tempting to start immediately identifying flaws or concerns. Avoid writing ideas off or designing fixes based on these assumptions. Although these concerns are likely valid it's worthwhile giving the peop

first building basic modeling pretty much done

Image
The basics of the first building is done! There's a few things in there that I would (will) probably tweak and change. I'm not 100% happy with the walls, some of them are too solid looking and need to feel more like they have been nailed together with scrap wood and sheets of corrugated iron. Saying that the basic shape and layout of the building is down and that was what I was aiming to achieve. Next I'll be modelling the walkways along the front of the buildings and hopefully making some plans that I can re-use throughout the level. What I am slightly concerned with is that it's looking a bit too much like a pirate town at the moment but I hope when I add textures and props that it will start looking more like a slum. Maybe I will add some more partitions in the buildings to give a more cramped feel. The most difficult thing so far has been keeping a consistent scale that can be traversed in unity by the standard first person controller and looks right. Overall I'
