Game Design Document

When thinking about what to do for Dundoc, I had to carefully think about what I wanted in the game but also to keep in mind my skills, limitations, the fact I want the game to have a challenge but still be fun. So I had to understand what was needed and make sure everything is thought out well.

My thoughts on Dundoc is that I find it rather useful I can put down everything on there that will be in the game and helps give me a scope of what's needed and can be amended if anything arises. It takes a while to get used to but everything has a section and helps focus and categorise the different elements of the game and what is required. Here is a link to Dundoc .

    Hi Nate, that's a decent Game Design Document. It's all very detailed and well thought out. Despite all that, you're still missing some valid information like character design, both for Doe and enemies alike.
    you're also missing level design. That also raises questions like, will there be design diversity when it comes to levels? Or is it all a one continuous level? Sure we'll all get there eventually but it's just better to get these things out sorted before hand so you're not stuck during the game making process. But ye overall very good, can't wait to see the game.

    Hey Nathan,
    I enjoyed reading your game design document it was really well layed out and explained. I really got a feel for your game and the overall mood you want portrayed throughout. There was just a tiny few things missing but it was still very good and there was a lot of effort put into it I look forward to seeing your game when its done.

Game Idea Research

A collection of different platformers I took inspiration from. I have decided on a game idea from the many I thought up of in last weeks blog post and the idea I have chosen is. A classic platformer, while yes some might say its overdone, I love these kinds of fun and easy to pick up and play games, they are simplistic but charming and fun. There will be 3 mechanics that I have thought about implementing into the game. The game will have a simple story, and charming yet again simple graphics and art style. The key word for this game is simple as I want to make it easy to pick up and play but also be fun and not a chore to play either. The story is about a lone wanderer who has to travel through and discover many places, along his way he has to traverse dangerous perils and collect some artefacts and defeat a villain who, if not stopped could be dangerous. 1. The health bar and a checkpoint system:  The first and most obvious mechanic in games will be the player's health ...

Multimedia Assignment: Prototype work

Recently I have started working on my prototype for my Game. I started it on Unity and im following some unity tutorials on how to make platformers, not to copy them but to see what I can do and point me in the right direction though. The prototype is going fine, progress is slow but im trying to get stuff done though, I can imagine only getting substantial work in Multimedia labs though. Also, another issue is finding the time to actually get some work done on the prototype as I have other assignments and having to commute up and down to college every day. Other than that, work is going along fine, working on previous unity tutorials has helped give me some experience in helping to create the game and the detail added to my GDD has helped too as it will give me some focus for making the game too.

Alpha build of game

For this week, I had to continue doing work on my alpha build of the game. Work is going along well, the character is moving and the controls are working well and the levels final design is complete, all that needs to be done is to add a 3rd person camera, skybox, textures and some gems to collect. Here is a screenshot of the game so far and the character model all the textures need to be added to add more life but other than that, Im happy with it so far.
