Project 2!

So here’s the next update, I’m now working on my second project for my scripting class, For this project i’ve decided to create a two player game were one player play’s as a Hunter and the other plays as the Seeker.

The seeker’s goal is to find all the orbs in the level and then escape with there life while the Hunter has to find the Seeker before they can collect all the orb’s, currently the game is two player split-screen like some of the older games that you’ll see on Nintendo 64, GameCube, PS1 and PS2, you control the characters with the use of an Xbox 360 controller as I’ve been wanting to try using one in one of my projects for a long time now and I’ve finally been able to purchase one.

Aesthetically speaking i’m trying to create a semi horror feeling within the game to try and make the Seeker feel as tense as possible while trying to find the orbs, The Hunter has the ability to scare the Seeker with use of a scream mechanic which startles the Seeker and causes his screen to shake, while the Seeker has the use of a torch which they can point at the Hunter to stun them for a short amount of time.

Everything currently within the game except for the character models has been created by myself as i cant be bothered to fully model, texture, rig and animate two separate characters as it would take to much time in the 4 week time span i have to create this prototype, Anyway hope you’ve all enjoyed reading this and ill see you later.

Lastly here’s a recording of what I’ve currently got

 

 

Wisp

Hi all!, so were on to our next prototypes and this time i’m working as a two man team with Nick Phipps who’s blog you can find here!,

Anyway, we’ve started production of our prototype game Wisp!, a game were you the player interprets whats happening, with this we hope that each player get’s there own experience that is special to them and they can share these with other’s.

it can also be played as many times over as you want  for different outcomes seeing as every game only lasts 3 minutes.

So myself and Nick decided to group together on this project as it was more tailored towards visuals, sound and emotion than game mechanics which meant that we had to make it look good and get the programming done really fast seeing as how each prototype has to be done within two week’s, as for the brief of the prototype we have to make a game that uses three different camera angles, four separate emotions and indirect control of the player (so you couldn’t control the players movement’s but you could control the player’s cameras).

as allways hoped you enjoyed this quick post and except more soon seeing as how its got to be done next week! bye!.

My first game!

Well it’s finally here I’ve made a game (it’s a prototype really).

if you were wondering why i havent made any major updates in the past few week’s it’s because of this.

Over the past four week’s i have been taught how to program in C# using the unity engine, this covered everything from making the player move to making enemies shoot at you.

Unity is an awesome engine which you can use to easily make any kind of game you want, all you need to know is how to program and have an idea of what you want to make, the rest come’s easily once you’ve got that down. http://unity3d.com/ Download it and have a try.

Now it may not look like much of a fun game but i wasn’t really working with any fixed idea, i just wanted to make a top down shooter which had a basic puzzle and turrets that fired at you and then dropped health pickups with random health boost’s, to complete the game all you need to do is make it to the other side of the level hit the green block and go back to the beginning to pickup the blue block which completes the game.

if you have any questions please feel free to ask me in the comment’s and you can find the download for the game below.

Also just so you all know i’m going overseas on the 3rd so i wont be back until the 19th so please dont get angry if theres no new content as i wont have constant access to the internet while im away, but don’t worry i will continue once I’m back.

Enjoy!
