Post effects and finishing touches


This week was our last week to work on the game. Me and my team worked on the latest functionalities we wanted in the game.  One of this functionalities is Making a Scene from Game Technology Workshop 4. This allowed us to make Start, Game and End scenes. We also added customization to the players name. Martijn did mostly the work on this part and explained us how he did it so me and Bjarne could understand and work with it.

We also fixed a couple of issues. I personally focused on the combat and dialogue systems. I added the functionality that enemies fight back when the character is within a certain range. And also fixed the issues which came along with the previous update. Where enemies didn’t stop fighting while in dialogue with the main character.

And then I made a couple of sprites for the game. And finally did some research on post processing effects. Adding post processing effects made it possible to give the different areas different looks and feels. As you can see in the image below. The left image has post processing on and on the right one it is turned off.

2D isometric character design

How can I create an character in 2D isometric art style? research Like the most researches I do I start with  Available product analysis . I like this method cause it gives me an overview of the already existing products. It also give me some inspiration. I’ve searched for character art in 2D isometric style. I came across a couple of samples. And with the knowledge from the previous weak I’ve started creating my own character. I did adjust the grid size on my view though, cause I needed more details in my character. In the research of last week I found out that creating rounded objects were difficult that why I decided to make a blocky character because of the details. Conclusion: I’ve created a character which suits our design and theme. The character can be seen in the image above. I was planning to upgrade the character design to a more rounded form. But I kind of like this style. So I will discuss this with the group. And if they agree we can keep this blocky character st...

Game pitch and 2D isometric art

Research strategies and methods used:   Library Available product analysis Literature study Workshop T utorial Showroom Pitch Game Pitch This week we’ve started the week with a Game pitch. We’ve created the pitch last week. The pitch gave our clients and the teachers an idea of what we are going to build this semester for game design. It describes the main areas of our game. Thanks to the pitch both the teachers as the clients now know what to expect form our project. They also gave us feedback which is an essential part for our development. We’ve applied the feedback in our project. After the pitch we’ve created user stoeries in Devops to work on. I was assigned to make the art for this sprint together with Martijn, another team member. How can we make isometric 2d art for our game? I’ve firstly searched for existing games which use this kind of art style. I found an awful lot of examples, not only games but also other media which use 2d...

Wrap up

This week is the last week of the industry project for game design and technology. We need to deliver the project and present it to the stake holders.  We will not work to much on the project anymore but we focused on developing the project with the right documentation so our stake holders could eventually develop this game by their own. And we also worked on preparing the presentation.  How can I create an document which allows feature developers to continue our project? I started with looking up what is important in such an document. I came across a couple of documents from the most basic ones to the extreme detailed documents. The advice rapport can be as detailed as one is willing to spend time on it. It also depends on the scope of the project. The bigger the project the more things need to be explained.   I firstly created a document and then filled in the chapters about the graphical parts of the project. Because these were the main focus for me this last ...
