Pictured, me and this semester but I'm not sure which of us is the one doing the punch.

Its over! assignment handed in; we are done people. Thank you for the fun times and I hope you enjoyed the blog. I have actually enjoyed writing this blog and I intend to continue writing here as I keep up the game design work over the summer. Maybe I'll see you around.

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
