Multimedia Project Research

Artwork of the 1916 rising found online
as a visual reference to where it took place.

This semester, I will be joining a big group to help create a game. The group contains 12 people and one of the key members is Chris Carney.

The groups idea for the project is an open world 3-D game that's set during the 1916 Easter rising, the player characters is someone who has to deliver messages to and from key locations of the Rising and between key members of it too. So obviously this project will have a more historical slant to it.

As there is sizable amount of people in the group, the jobs given will have specific roles. My rile in the groups is that I'm part of the team for assets and level building which is great because when I was creating my game for last semester, I enjoyed piecing together the level and creating it. I do struggle with coding on unity and this role does mean I wont mess that area up for the group but I will try to learn it though.

I cant wait to start work on the game soon and see what we can all achieve as a group and I cant wait to do my part to help and contribute.

Game Design Document

I am part of the Chris Carneys and James Reynolds team for the game, the game is a 3D experience of 1916 Rising. We are going to recreate Dublin from references. Description of the Game: "You play as Micahel “Foggy” Fogarty, a 16-year-old boy who after witnessing the murder of his father joins the Irish Republican Brotherhood. Foggy travels with his division to Dublin, Easter weekend in 1916 to take part in the Rising and is tasked with passing messages from the GPO to other key locations the IRB and Civilian Army holds." My role in the production of this game is GDA Creator, I work with the writer and team leader to create a GDA to help out other teams and to help the writer sort out the story, names and characters. Here is a video of the GDD: (NOTE: The GDD in the video was created and provided by Chris Carney and James Reynolds to the group, I did not create it nor do I take credit for its creation or the ideas in it)

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...

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.
