Final GDD

In this blog post, I will be discussing my role within the 19Sixteen Group and what I have contributed. On Wednesday, the group had a meeting where we discussed different things about the project and how we would approach them. Many roles were changed, especially mine. My role was changed from working on the GDA to asset collection. Due to the change in roles, I now have two new team members who I will be working with on asset collection and management.

The main role I'll be playing is to find assets that will help us develop the game and build the level which is set in Dublin during the 1916 Easter Rising. For the assets, we had to make sure many of the props, buildings, weapons and soldiers were accurate to the period and suited the setting. Finding assets that would suit the time period and be accurate to 20th Century Architecture, World War 1 uniforms and weaponry were quite limited and the very few assets we found in relation to weaponry were actually free and some costed money. So if we do need those assets, we may need a budget to acquire them. For certain assets relating to scenery and props like boxes, benches and different assets that could be useful to the level. Most of them are free but some do require a small payment to use. Another member of the group did a lot of research and found a lot of assets before I even joined the Asset Management group, so my work is rather limited but I still tried to find any assets relating to WW1 or early 20th century.

This post isn't the full GDD but explaining my role, the full GDD can be found below.

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.
