For this week we had to create a GDD (Game Design Document). However, since myself, Valerie and Stephanie have teamed together to create an animation, rather than a game design document, we had to create something that was the equivalent to this, such as research, our idea, inspirations etc.

Here is what we've created and agreed on:

Our version of GDD (powerpoint presentation)



So here we discuss a little bit about our research such as inspiration whereby we've decided on the story of 'The Boy who cried Wolf'. We talk a little bit about the story and what kind of a genre it fits into. We've also considered our target audience and how this will affect our style and script. 

After creating this document / powerpoint, we've realised it's crucial to get started sooner rather than later. First thing we're planning on doing will be to create the animations - characters, backgrounds, objects etc. We intend to dedicate around a week for this and then once that's complete we can get straight into orchestrating the actual story.

Game Idea Research

Game idea: To conclude, I decided that my final game idea would be as follows: In brief, I would like my game to be in first person (e.g the whole game is through the characters eyes). The game is located in a haunted house and the aim is to escape before time runs out and you are attacked and killed by a monster of some sort. In order to escape you must find certain objects and clues to help lead you into the next room and thus being able to progress forward. Each room can be considered a level, and as one moves further in the game I could make it harder to escape, so the further you go the harder the level. Possible Game Mechanics source here . Game mechanics are constructs of rules or methods designed for interaction with the game state, thus providing gameplay. All games use mechanics and it is important to consider what kind of mechanics I should include in my own game. 1. Timed The player must achieve a task within a time limitation. Some achievements...

Game Vision Statement

Source here . Game genre: Survival horror  Survival horror is a sub-genre of video games inspired by horror fiction that focuses on survival of the character as the game tries to frighten players with either horror graphics or scary ambiance. I think my game definitely goes under this genre because the player is in a haunted and scary environment, and the aim is to escape and survive.

Gameplay:  These are the features of a video game, such as its plot and the way it is played, as distinct from the graphics and sound effects. My game is set in modern day. The main character of this game is a journalist and discovers a haunted house in the middle of no where. He/ she goes to said haunted house in the middle of a deserted plain to document it and do a little research, without considering the consequences.  It is the middle of the day and there is still sunlight so the house is wel...

MD2 Project Progression

source here . For this week, we've decided to scratch our idea of creating an animation using Adobe Animate. Although we have used Youtube tutorials to help guide and educate us on how to use Animate to the best of our abilities, it seems we can't quite get the hang of it. However, we've decided to expand our concept on Stephaine's frame-by-frame technique. With this in mind, myself and Valerie set out to buy coloured and textured paper to draw our miniature characters and create background. We researched previous work which had a similar theme, or vibe, that we are aiming for. We came across a 2D animation created by Brandon Ray which really appealed to us ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvfF1YNDrTw ).  As we are already pushed for a bit of time, we concluded 2D stop motion animation was our best option within our skill range and started to develop on this idea.  Creating and Design  I bought two different booklets of coloured paper - one ...
