Game Vision Statement

Megaman style gameplay

The genre of game I was thinking of doing was a retro style platformer in the same vein as Mario or Mega Man. What I mean by that is the game will be a side-scroller with enemies and possibly bosses at the end, finding collectables and use power-ups.

The gameplay will take a healthy mix of Mario and Mega Man. The gameplay will take the style of attacking and powerups and consumables like Mega Man with the simplistic and casual fun Mario provides. It's challenging but not annoying or frustrating to the point of forcing the player to quit.

    Hey Nathan, I'd like if you'd go into more detail into this post such as how it inspired you and what you'll change to make it your own original game style, other than that a retro concept idea is cool, vintage always come back into trend such as fashion, design and even games. Good choice!

    Yo Nate, I really like the idea and where the inspiration came from but you really need more detail: How is the hero gonna look like? What kind f power ups are there? Are there any allies and/or foes? How exactly are the controls going to work? What about the level design? Does the character have a back story? There are a lot of questions asked and you should think about these points, it''ll be easier to make the game then instead of improvising everything as you go. Also remember that it has to be 3D, so yes it can be a side scroller but just remember to make it 3D. Overall I love the idea of a Mario/Mega-Man game, it's a rare medium these days and I'll love the idea of bringing it back. Just remember to expand on the idea more and be more specific. Great job overall.

    Hey Nathan! This is a great post showing your different game ideas. More detail is needed but it's still good. I like how you're going for a retro style platformer. I'm just wondering what aspects of these games that inspired you encouraged you to make this game? What specifically inspired you about them? Enemies and bosses are the key elements of the Mario games, I think that'll be a cool concept to add into your own game and put your own twist on it. Good game choice!

Introduction by Nate

Hello, I'm Nathan, a second-year student at ITB. I'm 20 years old and from Cavan. This blog post is about me and hobbies, aspirations etc. If you're reading this, then I'm surprised you want to go through such torture. First of all, I really enjoyed CDM year 1. It was a great experience and felt it was fun and got to meet great people and do interesting things. I still can't get over the fact I'm in college or I even made it to the second year. Thought I would've had a mental breakdown at this point When doing the semester last year, I really enjoyed Storytelling and narrative. I find it fascinating to sit down and talk about films, I'm a bit of a movie buff so I did enjoy breaking them down and even tell a story or two. Honestly my biggest accomplishment last semester was actually getting through to second year and hell, even surviving it knowing me. My goals for this module is to plan out and hopefully make a small film for our group project as its...

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.
