Game Design Document

Our GDD in a PowerPoint - https://vimeo.com/325028075
Password is: 19Sixteen

James Reynolds and I have spent the past few weeks creating the GDD and made it into a PowerPoint presentation that you can see a video of above. 

My role as Project Manager is to:
- Create reasonable and achievable goals for all team members. - Keep in contact with each team-leader to maintain communication and make sure there is no confusion. - I will also help with the programming.

    Hi Chris! Just watched your group's GDD! I like how you have organised the group into different teams, I think this is an efficient way of developing the game. In your GDD, a team hierachy is highlighted which I think is good idea because there will be effective communication between all members of the group throughout the game development process. I like how everyone in your group has an assigned role. This will keep each member engaged and focused. Will there be a main character in the game or will the main character be the player? Will the player be able to get involved in the rising or just learn about? I think your GDD is full of great material that will aid you and your group in your game development and I wish you the best with it all!

    Heyo Christopher, I really love the idea of a game based on The Rising there's so much sources of inspiration there especially if you take some from the movie it might help you with some visuals! This is a really good game design document it looks like it took a good while to complete. I was apprehensive about the idea of so many people being in one group but it's good that everyone has an individual role now and that you have things like an art department and research. You definitely seem to know where you're going with this game and how you're going to do it which is great! Really excited to see how this game turns out, best of luck!

    Hey Chris,
    Just went through your GDD, To do a game based on the rising is a great idea, there's plenty of information about it. Opportunities everywhere for content! You could even just go to these significant areas from the rising, and take pictures of them which you could render into backgrounds etc. This way it'll be first hand original things! Even videos of the surrounding area and comparing them to the version in your game would be good! Because this is an event that happened in Ireland theres so much information everywhere, it's a shame that the anniversary was only 3 years ago, it would have been great to go on tours and have this game idea in the development from then because it would have definitely caught more attention . Looking forward to further updates because of the large scale! Hope it goes well ,expecting nothing less from you !

Introduction to a Future Game Developer & Film Producer

Introduction A photo of me taken by James Reynolds My name is Christopher Carney, and I'm an aspiring Creative Digital Media student hailing from IT Blanchardstown (soon to be one of three campuses as part of the Technological University of Dublin). I have interests in everything digital media from graphic design to filmography and everything in between. I'm a 'jack of all trades, master of none' who is constantly looking to challenge and better themselves, yearning to learn and gain experience in anything I can try my hand at. Education After I completed my leaving certificate in 2015 I went on to study in Dunboyne College of Further Education for two years. In my first year I studied Sound Engineering & Music Production at FETAC Level 5 in 2015. This was a fun and active year long course in which I expanded on my previous knowledge of music production, and learned a lot about sound engineering. We organised a gig that year as part of our course in whi...

Game Brainstorm

Game Brainstorms Four types of games that I would like to possibly develop in the future. 1. First-Person Shooter Inspired by the likes of classic shooter games from Doom (1993) to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (2007) I would like to create a simple First-Person Shooter (FPS) game. Having started our Unity tutorials in Week 2 and creating a simple environment to run around in I think it would be an interesting challenge. There are scripts and tutorials  (from none other than Jimmy Vegas himself) available online on how to make a FPS game. He goes in depth on how to make a basic shooter and I feel that if I was to watch his videos it would be possible to bring that knowledge into my own environment. The video series even goes as far as to create spider enemies  that you can shoot in game. My overall idea would be to create a presentable and fully working level where you have to shoot all of the spiders to complete the level. I would also be thinking that I could have ...

Game Vision Statement

The purpose of this blog post is to create a vision statement for my game, so I can lay out my vision in sufficient detail to implement it. Skeleton Quest  is a first person adventure game made with the Unity 3D engine. You play as the hero Stephen, exploring the vast open world and fighting skeletons and spiders as you collect gems in your quest to clear the world of the undead. It is the second idea in this previous blog post . Genre:  First-Person Adventure Platform: Windows, Mac and Linux. The game will be playable with a keyboard and mouse, with possible adaptation for an Xbox One controller in the future. Gameplay: The game will handle similarly to other first person games like Skyrim, Fallout or Call of Duty. The player will have an open world in which to explore and collect a number of gems to complete the game. The game and controls will be thought to the player through pop up messages. To challenge the player they will need to explore the open w...
