Assignment 2: Submission

 

Smash hit game of the year

In my last blog post I talked about how I would be designing a Sell Sheet and a Design Page for Actual Driving. Well, here it is, Above is my Sell sheet, It went through a few iterations but hasnt strayed so far from my first attempt.
(first attempt at a Sell Sheet)

Mostly my feedback on the first attempt was that nobody could tell it was a video game due to the art style, hence why I added box art and a catchy "Wishlist now on steam" to the final product. Over all I'm proud of what I achieved with this though. I think it captures the energy and if I saw this as a poster at EB games Id definitely want to check it out. 

As for the Design Page
Among other issues, text size makes it a bit hard to read

I wasn't sure what to do with the design page to be honest, When speaking to my tutors and looking at examples everything seemed to centre around 2D or 3RD Person games where you can see your character standing in the world or level. My game is 1ST Person and I believe I am the only person doing this assignment with a 1ST Person game. So sadly I think my Design Page is a bit lacking. Its too heavy on text and the images really fail to convey the mechanics.

That being said I'm still hopeful for a good mark here and I'll make a post for my feedback when I receive it.

Introduction & how I got into games

Image
When I was born my Dad immediately hated me because he had spent almost the entirety of my mum's pregnancy attempting to get Mech Warrior 3 running on his computer and my mother's water broke within 15 minutes of him finally succeeding in this. He would not have the opportunity to play Mech warrior for roughly 5 years, with me. Truth be told I can't remember a time when video games weren't a part of my life. The first game I can remember is Resident Evil which I helped dad beat when I was three years old, I helped with the puzzles. When my mum found out I was playing a game rated MA15+ we were both in the doghouse. Despite that I went on to play Silent Hill with dad, this time when we were caught dad said games were educational and I was learning to read. So, from then on, I was on a strict diet of lengthy role playing games that included books worth of dialogue and menu text. Although learning to read off poorly translated JRPG left me with some strange spelling and gr

Exploring Gdevelop: Part 3, Shifting Gears

  Ok, so E1M1, that was fun. DOOM is very cool and i'm very proud of what I managed to accomplish with my first game. However the gun doesn't work the way I want it to work which is a problem I have already spent way to long trying to figure out. And my efforts to implement jumping caused me to fall through the floor forever which seems like its a bit over my head to bug fix while I am still learning how to use the software. So this is where I decide to pivot, lets take everything that works and everything I have learnt so far and lets see if we can do something with that, something that isn't riddled with bugs and something that plays as expected.  So what do I have? Well I have my 3D environment, that works, and collision is implemented so the walls are real walls. The movement and mouse look work great despite the fact that I cant jump and while I can look up I can only interact with a flat horizontal plane.  So why not replace the gun in the middle of the screen with a

Platformer Pitch: AxeMan Adventures

Image
My first task for class is to pitch a simple platformer game. We were given about 15 minutes in class to create a concept and this is what I came up with AxeMan Adventures AxeMan Adventures is a platformer game with combat, puzzles, and some tricky movement. The core concept is that your character (AxeMan) has a large axe floating around him which a player can spin about him with a joystick. Spinning the axe in this way can be used for simple combat but is also used for puzzles and platforming as the axe interacts with the environment. A major part of this environment interaction is slamming your axe into platforms in order to make a new platform by standing on the axe's handle. This can set up into more complex situations as you may have to leave your axe behind in order to accomplish some objectives. How its Played As the axe is designed to be controlled with a joystick I expected this game will be played with a controller. I'd say left stick controls AxeMan, right stick cont
