My Game the Beta version

The Beta version of my Game

Screenshot of my game

My journey of game design has almost come to an end, it is amazing how much I have progressed and developed my game. Overall I think is coming out to be very successful I have fixed many bugs and issues that I happen to have in the alpha version. I have progressed with its development a lot and have fully finished some areas that I was lacking in my alpha version.

One of my biggest achievement this week for this version was that I have fully completed building the whole path course and all the elements. All the obstacles are finished and any materials or colours that need to be added on were added successfully. I have tested the whole path of the game myself a few times to make sure it is fully accessible and playable. In order to give the players some choices, I have included some extra paths and shortcuts.

For this version, I have added in a mother plane under the first one to make one level with two parts in it. In order to make it more interesting, I added a moving lava effect on the second plane. I think this has a massive improvement for the gameplay. The lava is slowly flowing as the player is trying to get across to the finish line. I am very happy with how well this has turned out to work. 


Illusion tunnel in my game

I have received much positive feedback on the illusion tunnel that I have made in the alpha version, therefore I decide to make more and create a better effect. I like them myself very much and feel like they add in a lot of extra fun in the game and allow the player to get some real speed of the ice ball rolling. They were time-consuming at first to make but they turned out to be successful, I used them to transport the player in a fun and creative way to another part of the game.

Not everything worked for me as I wanted and had to change some things that I have planned to make at first. Many times I had to look for an alternative if I wasn't able to make what I wanted or if something wasn't working out for it. With the solution to finding an alternative, I was able to make my game almost as planned and make it work. I wasn't able to make the extra scenes that would include my game start scene and my game over scene. I would run out of time and I didn't feel comfortable enough after watching some tutorials on that task. 

I was able to think of an alternative for making a game start scene, how to play scene, and the game over scene. For this, I have used materials that are displayed at the beginning of the game for the player to read and study carefully before they are ready to start the game. I think this is equally useful and helpful, it allows the player to feel comfortable before starting the game.

Introduction to a Future Designer

 Introduction Hi pink figure Hi pink figure Hi so it has been a while since I first started the  Creative Digital Media course in College. This course has taught me so much and there is so much more to learn. It is a very creative and fun course. Year 1 was interesting and became very challenging when Covid entered. There was a lot of late night works and was filled with assignments but I did it and now I am in second year.  I'm looking forward to this module because I like games and always was interesting in some game designs but never decided to take on this task on my own with any help. I feel that this module will answer my question about game design and career in multimedia.   There were some really good tasks that I enjoyed and did very well in like photography which changes your point of view on everyday objects and for me it woke up my eye for photography. Image manipulation was a very fun and entertaining task as it allowed you to create something out of this world and it

Game Design

 Reading about Games Type of a game Image source After doing the reading, I realised that there is a lot more to games than just a good idea, plan and software tools. I think that the question in the first reading "what is a game" is an extremely hard question to answer because it can mean something different for everyone. The truth is that most things in our life that we interact with a lot will have a different meaning to an individual. For someone a game might be nothing more than just a little fun way to complete a level or task and move on to the next one. Gamers see it as being part of their life, their break from reality, a brain exercise etc. There are some people that don't find a big interest in games and will have an even more different opinion on "what is a game?" I myself like gaming, I do it often if I have the time however thankfully I never get obsessed which means I can play whenever I have time and still be have my chores done. In my case I wou

Game Vision Statement

My Game Vision A quick sketch of my game idea After some brainstorming and researching, I have decided on my game idea and now can start to look into it more in depth. Although my idea is based on the games below and it will have the same controls and very alike gameplay, it won't be the same game as "Coin Rush" for example because I will be making my own version of the game. My main goal is to make the game more fun and interactive for the players, I want to add some adrenaline and rush to my own version of the game to make it more entertaining but not frustrating.  In my version the player will be a ball of ice and will have to complete the laid out course on a platform before the ball melts in order to complete the game. The player will have to balance the ball and hit certain objects to get through to the finish line, however the game will be over once the player drops the ball, hits an object that will make it crash or if the ball melts before reaching the finish lin
