Games GDD (week 6)

-

 


The reading this week is about Game Design document, this is something that i have been looking forward in learning about because of the lack of knowledge  over the topic so after going through the first reading Communication and Game Design Documents. after reading through the first article i looked through the main thing i understand that you must learn to stay on top of is having a very good communication skill with both the designer and the team in which they are working with.

from the reading i gathered a key information on when designing a game, a game document is very different in every game and it not something that can be taken lightly because that is what the whole team fall back on to check on to keep them moving forward.

these are a few list of section that are listed in different types of game document. the most important  thing i get is you must update your document very often.

            Game Design Overview (DESIGN).  Detailed Design Doc (DESIGN).
    Story Overview (DESIGN   Technical Design Doc (ENGINEERING
    Pipeline Overview (ENGINEERING).     System Limitations (ENGINEERING
 Art Bible (ART).  Concept Art Overview (ART). 
    Game Budget (MANAGEMENT).   Project Schedule (MANAGEMENT). 
  Story Bible    Game Tutorial and Manual (WRITIN        Walkthroughs (PLAYER  
   
also you from the second reading, the lay out for a GDD is very clear you just have to have
it that whoever is reading it can understand the point that you are trying to get across. one thing i see in the RPG GDD was the game flow and after looking on how he designed  his own this is really helpful for me so when i want to do my own this can let me know if i am on track with everything that needs to be done. i liked how he done his own looked simple but very effective and it is the way i would love to design my own.

  this week we finally start by working and planning our game, this image above is the first image from the game i look forward in trying to design, i followed some small steps that was given to us in the video and i was glad is was able to follow it. this thing that find very difficult was the idea i had before hand was have object fall from the sky but after looking into it i feel like i cannot design it very well due to the fact i find it very difficult so i decided to look into unity one to get my inspiration from because that is also close to something that i am looking forward in trying to design, so i decided to place to object in a way where it still difficult also what i was struggling with was designing my scene i was not used to this because the unity work we usually do the scene are already done but since i sat and looked through all of it i was glad that i was able to get it done . also i find apply the code that i want to work with my player it doesn't seem to be work

                                                                    BETA this week i worked on my beta and i was very happy that i was able to come this far in designing my game, most of the things i need to work they have already started working and somethings that i changed was having so many obstacle in the game but now i have been able to try and have i spawn it own it's own. Also i have been able to work around the double jump and the only thing that i am struggling with was having the game over to show up and having my game End but for some reason it is not showing up. Once i have that done i think my game will be ready to play and i will be officially happy with my game. in terms of meeting my plans to get my game is having a day for each things i will work on for it to look the way i want and how i want it.                                                                 image sourced by ME

Reading Week 4

  After reading through the first article what are the quality of a game?  i realised how much things need to go into creating an amazing game, and after seeing it i can see it is not easy to create a game that easily impress every player that plays the game. the first thing that caught my attention was what every game must try plan their game around is  conflict, goals, decision-making, and an uncertain outcome. Also you need to ask whenever creating a game can you answer these question fully and be satisfied ● Players ● Objectives (goals)  ● Rules ● Resources and Resource Management  ● Game State ● Information  ● Sequencing ● Player Interaction  ● Theme (Narrative, Backstory, Setting) ● Games as Systems  so after looking through all this i realised that it is not easy to create a great game like GTA for example when you look at that game you see how perfectly planned everything in the game is and how they have thought of everything that needs to be thought of for their game so in say
