WEEK 6:FINAL MAJOR PROJECT.

 

Development blog week 6

Progress made from last week

 I made mind maps of both my game ideas on bubbl.us.

 

MIND MAP FOR THE FLOOR IS LAVA

 

 

 

MIND MAP FOR ANCIENT PHAROAH.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This week I created mood board for my level layouts for both my game ideas. For the floor is lava game idea I created the following mood boards:

My first mood board was a generalisation of the game idea with images of a volcanic volcano with the lava seeping on the floors as well as more images of volcanoes erupting. They are also images of caves that have lava seeping on its floors and covering the cava with lava they are also images of fire fighters in action putting out fires. They are also images of great white sharks swimming in open water.

The second mood board is a character board of with images of the fire fighter gear that I would like my main character to wear like the overall look of the helmet and colour of it as well as what l would like the fire fighters suit to look like and the colour as well which is black with neon yellow stripes as well as the height of my character.

The third mood board is of enemy or attacker character mood board with images of jelly fishes , great white sharks and sea turtles all swimming in open water or the sea as well as images of magma .The images might be a tad  bit confusing altogether but I plan creating a the three animals to be animal mutants with parts of them being made of lava like for the shark I plan on making the fins to be just pure lava with molten basically a lava shark , the jellyfish I plan on making the hood or the bell of the jelly fish to be made of lava and cooled down molten  and for the sea turtle I plan to make the shell to ne made of lava and cooled molten .

 

Idea 2

Ancient Egyptian pharaohs revenge.

Below are the mood boards that I made for my second game idea.

Above is the first mood board l made with images of the generalisation of my game idea with images of Egypts desert, Egyptian pyramids as images of pharaohs as well as images of a female pharaoh on her throne. The are also images of mummies which I plan on them being the enemies in the game whereas the pharaohs are the main players.

 

 

Above are character mood boards of what I want my main character to look like with images that the skin tone that I want the character to have , images of the head wear as well as images  of  the necklace design  as well as what the dress design should look like and the characters weapons supported by images of a bow and arrow , blade and ancient crook and flail . On both mood bords they are images of what I would like her appearance to look like as well as her body.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Any breakthroughs I made

The discovery I made was discovering that I can make a pixel character animation on asperite without having to draw different versions of the characters movements for when they run, jump up and down because the app does that for you which i think would be a major help in upcoming weeks.

 

 

 

Anything I found hard.

I didn’t find anything hard l just had a manor mishap.

I had made a mind map for my game idea the Ancient pharaoh which I had made last week and I was going to edit it the next day to finish it of but l couldn’t find it anywhere .I think that when I was using the school computer I might have not saved it properly and then l shut the computer down so my work got lost. I just checked my browser history and my other emails just in case I had login in with another one but still no luck so l had to create a new mind map.

 

 

Next week plan.

I plan on creating a story board for my games opening scene for both my game ideas. l also plan on making game assets for the game and to create a back ground layer for both my game ideas as well as creating game characters, enemies , weapons using photoshop or aseprite .l also plan on watching video on creating pixel art as I struggle with it as well as videos of games created on flowlab to give me more idea on how to create my game.
