Assignment 3: Development Progress

Image
I swear its a logo officer, promise I didn't crop the Design Page Ok so, Lethal Cuts. Its a simple little fighting game but its got some interesting stuff going on. Lets start by going over the game as it was presented to the group and then ill talk about the changes I would (and hopefully will) implement as the lead designer.  lets look at the Design Page for Lethal Cuts. really this image should be all you need but ill explain anyway See that black controller? that's the most important information as far as I'm concerned. Move with the left stick, jump with A, attack with X, block with B. Ignore the Attack Direction stick, that's not implemented. The attack works basically how you expect and theirs a different animation if you attack in the air buts its pretty much the same attack. Block is a bit more complicated, your character turns to stone after a small pause becoming immune to hits for a short time. No health bars just if you take 3 hits you lose.  Now there'...

Assignment 3 Iteration and Changes

  Just because I had to work on assignments doesn't mean I'm missing Halloween. I'm working hard, the whole team is, its coming up to end of semester and everything is due.

Infact most people couldn't figure out it was a block without it being explained. The Air attack is kind of useless because it only works against other characters in the air and as there isn't any other reason to be in the air its just not used. Worst of all and maybe this is a result of the other issues, every match becomes both players slamming the attack button as fast as possible while standing in front of each other. The silver lining is that apparently thats pretty fun as most of our feedback has been really positive.  I think, and play testers agree, that the game need more movement and more reasons to move. As such I want to ...

Tracy Fullerton: Game Design Workshop VS Youtube

Image
Hot tip; bet on YouTube Its time for me to go back to Tracy Fullerton. But I have to be honest, I have tried to write this blog post a few times. I read chapters over and over trying to find something I wanted to talk about but I hate this text book. Its painfully boring, unimaginative and lacks the fun and soul that makes game design mean something. I could write an essay on how much I dislike this Textbook, but I'm not going to do that. Instead lets do something more fun and more nice. I'm going to highlight some YouTube channels and videos that are infinitely better resources and free. so, lets begin.  GDC - https://www.youtube.com/@Gdconf/featured GDC (Game Design Conference) is a legendary channel, honestly its a gold mine. According to its own description "GDC talks cover a range of developmental topics including game design, programming, audio, visual arts, business management, production, online games, and much more." In short they get professionals in the gam...
