Asteroids postmortem

For the last game i develop in the IGB220,i try my best effort to bring a great prototype.However at the same time i also find my problems in game develop. From Game Design Workshop by Tracy Fullerton,there is stage for game develop and the biggerest problem is the concept stage.As this is a team work,a concept in mind is not enought.The concept in mind will be hard to Unite as one with just dicussion.Some part of the prototype will easily go wrong and wasting time.

If I was to improve a part of my process, I will use visuliztion to be tool for commucation as Tracy said.It can show differet design effectively,i can use picture to show the layout of space ,the room size etc.Increase the the team corporation in every step,make a better game.

Assignment 3 Playtesting

pro:

1.smoth movement with walking and jumping

2.the character skill design is interesting

cons:

1.do not have any sound effect

2.do not have clear infomation for the story

3.cannot go back to select level after start te stage

[henrysham]

Assignment 3 Development Progress

first we desgin different character for players to tansform ,most of it have different pwoer to figh or move.Give players different play experience.Above are the thour character we already created,try to have quess what is their power.

Base on the character desgin, we created a tutorial to teach player how to play the game.It sperate into three different,base control,power control and basic game desgin.Make sure they hve basic knowledge efore start playing the game

After every stage they will go back to the map section.Now only the backbag system and map work.They can change the from they carry in the backbag system and go to next level in the map.Let player know how many level they already pass.

In the bag system ,player can select different form to use in stage by clicking on the graph.Also they can use the tool by click on the bottom part and use the tick and cross to control use the item or not.

In the future development,we will make more stage for player to have a long play testing experience.Also create the shopping system to help players pass different stage.

Racing Post Mortem

For the racig game,i think the bigget problem is the feature of feedback and different element to attact players.I only made score board to be the feed back of the game.From the comment of play testing,it will become bored quicly .The score board only compare with themself ,canot attract most of he players.If i need to change the prototype, i will add acheivement feature in the gameAlthough it still cannot compare with other player,but it an give them a target .Using different acheivement to enalrage teir want to discover the game.

[henrysham]

racing development

The prototype of the racing is focusing on the gamplay screen.

in the gamplay scene ,i used different colour to let player can easily notice different object.for example i used green road sife and green plant to be the barrier that player cannot pass through.Let the colur different to be an alert.Also shrp colour red to be player,easy to get player attenin,focus on thing happen to them.

As the score is the bggest feedback for player,Attract them to play the game and fight for the higest score. i add status bar on right hand coner,let player keep on track of their goal and show the clear staus of the final score.(photo belwo)

Racing

The Third prototype in IGB220 will be racing game. To get brainstorm of ieda,i tried stream of consiousnes from the Game Design Workshop by Tracy.It help me to find the focus of the racing game,race with time,no battle and control speed.Below will be elevator pitch that brief introduction of the game com out from the focus.

•What is your game play?

drive a car on top down view,try the best to arrive destiontion as quick as possible.

•What is the player’s role?

car driver

•What genre is the game?

Asteroids postmortem

For the second game,i done impovement on my development proess.However ,there are still things i need to change for bring better game eperience to player

If I was to improve a part of my process, I will make better planing. Most part of the game is develop while planing,so that it will be weird for some of the part of game.For eample the theme of monster look different

if i need to make changes to the prototype,i will make the upgrade system more userfriendly with Gui.Without any help from others,the players is hard to know rules of upgrade and stuck there.So tat i thnk i should add help page and let the uprade system more simply.User can understand with the first look.

[henrysham]

Asteroids Development

The prototype of the asterido have two main scence ,upgrade and gamplay.

As mention in Lecture 5 Macro-choices concern the long-term progress of the game experience. And the upgrade scence is one of the Macro-choices which will affect the game experince, you can choose different uprade using the score.For example upgade you staic of power and heart or getting shield ability .

In the gameplay scence,I have design three different item for the players to attack.Let player will not be that easy to get bored.Also some of the item have feed back beside score ,which increse the play experience.

Platformer Postmortem

From Game Design Workshop by Tracy Fullerton,i find that i should not struggle into the loopholes, which may satisfy different kind of player.

If I was to improve a part of my process, I will make better time management not just stuck into one part the development and leave other feature behind. Sometime the part i think not ok may e give different play a great play experience.so clearly i should stat the play testing process earlier to gather different opinion .

if i need to make changes to the prototype, i will delete feature and checking bug.I got some feedback from tester that my prototype do not have a main feature It is weird that do many thing at the same in one level, it will be confuse. So that delete feature and only hard working on few features to give players great experience.

Working:

1.let play can shoot to all direction

2.create a extra path for player and new puzzle.Make the prototoype more interesting

[henrysham]

playtest

By the material from the couse,Iterative design is needed to make good games.It can help anticipate in advice and predict the experience of the game.So that i start to playtext after create a prototype , give player better game experience.

Game design feedback:

pro:

1.smoth movement with walking and jumping

2.feedback when receive and deal damange

cons:

1.too easy to fall out of map without system notice

2.the boss fight is too hard and normal

GDevelop Experimentation

This post will show different experiment on Gdevelop base on Game Design Workshop by Tracy Fullerton.In the book it have point out Working with Formal Elements,Working with Dramatic Elements and Working with System Dynamics.It will seperate into three post to do different experiment.

Working with Formal Elements players and rules is the most inportant formal elements in game.

The experiment is focus on signle player.Gdevelop have many premade funtion for players.To made a players control character platformer character will auto setting players can control that characte with -> <-.With rearrange the data inside the funtion,i can get a "flash" character or super jump.

Event is the powerful tool to setup rule."Always" easy to set up loop for monster.Let the pattern of monster fighting have more different pattern.

Platformer Development

From Game Design Workshop by Tracy Fullerton,i find prototype only the elements need to funtional and let player can have a bief idea of the game.So for the prototype i am creating ,part which will not affect the players experience of game play will be minimised.The graphic will be using past material and simply drawing.

The first prototype include the main feature of puzzle ,bos fight and parkour,As it is just short protoype of the game,every feature will only include a little to show how it look.To make sure every player will not miss any feature ,so the prototype will only have one path way to finish the level ,let the users try the feature one by one.However it will have two different option to go through the same excit,let users hae option to choose.

For the character ,it have include a health behavior to count the damage receive .Both monster and player's character have their own health bar .Although it will not show on screen,but there is visual effect when recevie damange to show players they hit the monster or not.When the players get a item in the game, a sound effect will remind the players they got an item .
