Multimedia Project Research

This is my first blog post in awhile and I am ready to get back to the craziness of Multimedia!

So far my team I just Becky and I. We thought it was a good idea to work on this project together because we are both interested in the same things.

Our interests are mainly fashion and music so we have been brainstorming different projects. As we both have different skills. Becky is skilled in graphic design and editing. While I am skilled in photography and researching.

So far we have come up with these ideas:

A documentary

A podcast (discussing music, art, photography, fashion)

A magazine (online and printed)

Our roles are:

Becky- Graphic designer, editor

Me- Researcher, photographer

Game research Idea ( NEW)

After realising that I did not have enough time to create the frog game that I wanted to I have decided to change my game, after doing some research I realise I want to do a pirate game. I am still in the process of planning the game but these are my ideas so far: Main Character The main character of my blog will be Pete the Pirate. He will be a Pirate who is looking for gold coins. Goals The goal in the game will be to try collect as many coins as possible by following the guide lines given on a map. The guidelines will rhyme and will give clues to where the coins are. Rotation system Pete the Pirate will be able to move varying on what buttons to press. He will be able to move in different directions. Enemy I'm not sure if Pete the Pirate will have an enemy yet I was thinking of a shark but I want to research more.

Week 8 : Progress

Honestly I think I have progressed a lot in the past 2 weeks in this module. I am happy with the work I am doing but I know that I need to do even more because I am really behind. I have put in a lot of effort to this module and have been watching unity tutorials every night to try get a better understanding of how to use unity and how to go about creating my game, I am unfortuntely a really slow learner with Unity so I have to watch every video a few times to fully understand it. I have also been making notes on each unity tutorial so I can look over how to fix something in my game without having to rewatch a tutorial. I have a lot more unity tutorials but I am confident I will finish them in time. I will just have to do a few all nighters but if thats what it takes then I will do it!! I also have been set back a good bit unfortunately with the fact that I have to change my game due to not have enough time to create the Freddie the frog game. Although I am disappointed with not bei...

Game Design Reading Week 2

Designing games by Tynan Sylvester After completing the reading assigned to us for Week 2 I have learnt a lot of new things I did not know before. When I read the first piece we were given "Don't be a Vididiot"by Greg Crositkyan http://www.costik.com/vidiot.html . He explained gaming in a really simple way which I liked as I am not very familiar of the different types of games. He explained how a game is a play activity with rules that involves a conflict. Then I read another post called "The essence of Eurostyle gaming" by Lewis Pulsipher http://www.thegamesjournal.com/articles/Essence.shtml , . Before reading this I had never even heard of a "eurostyle" game. I then read the post and got a better understand of what makes a game a eurostyle game. Euro games have great visual interest, simple rules, no player elimination and the game does not take more than an hour to play. Reading this article gave me a better understanding of different ga...
