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.

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.
