Week 7: FINAL MAJOR PROJECT

-

 

PROGRESS MADE FROM LAST WEEK.

I made a storyboard of what l would like the opening scene of for my video game idea for the floor is lava.




 

 

I made this storyboard which has details about the game story from the call to 911 dispatch caller to the dispatcher calling the fire fighter to go to the location where the active volcano is located with a fire truck but them having to use a helicopter at the end to reach the cave entrance into a volcano then with the menu option showing up with a start to save civilisation as a button.

I also have started the game development stage with creating a game background for my Ancient Pharoah game idea which are the two images below the first one being my practise on to get a hang of using photoshop .












For the second image I went with a different approach of using a reference image and uploaded the image to a colour palette generator to get the colour palette to help creating a sense of a realism. Below is the reference image that I uses to create a the background image.





 

I ended up using the second image to be the background of game on flowlab by using one of the assets or blacks that are already provide and then editing it by uploading this image on the block.




I then created a pixel of a camel which I plan to include in game because nothing more screams Egypt like a camel . I plan on creating a animation of it so that it can just move around but I would add a behaviour for the character to pass through it with no trouble.




I had a play on Piskel to try to create my main game character to implicate that she is sitting on her throne but I didn’t like the pixel as much because it doesn’t match what I would like my character to look like and it opposes my character board that I had created it was fairly easy to create the character as Piskel offers a mirror or duplicate option which allowed me to draw the throne and the stair case in a matter of minutes.










I also created a pixel of a mummy that will be the enemy in the video game I tried to replicate a bondage effect for it to look like a realistic mummy in a sense but I struggled to as the app doesn’t offer a pencil option that is not a block so l couldn’t just add a pencil detail to show that the mummy is wrapped bandages rather than the mummy looking like his wearing white pants and a t-shirt.


 

 


BREAK l THROUGHS MADE.

I was browsing through YouTube when I learn about isometric pixel art as well as how to create TOP DOWN PIXEL ART STYLE I like the way it gives a game a sense of reality and how its not easy or to complex to create as it is very similar to creating or drawing 3D shapes for example on the first screenshot the creator was creating Isometric pixel art of a house when he was drawing it he drew a cube and simply add more details  to get the final product which was a two story house.

The videos above basically talk about how to create isometric art for beginners it also talk about how isometric art is used in video games as well how to add more details like creating a shadow effect or adding windows to make it more realistic in a sense.

ANYTHING I FOUND HARD.

I experienced a minor technical issue my photoshop froze up while loading so it wouldn’t stop loading and I could close or reopen it again  for a good 30 minutes till I had to hop on google and it gave me a solution which was that I just had to open up task manager then go to photoshop app option and click end task then re-open it again.

I also had trouble finding a solution on how I could add background layer on flowlab but I watched YouTube videos to help me out.

The above videos talk about how to create a background layer on flowlab .

 

 

PLANS FOR NEXT WEEK.

Next week I plan on create another background layer for my second game idea .l also plan on creating the pixel art of the enemies for my FLOOR IS LAVA game idea which is creating the Human shark mutant with a shark having a human body appearance ,shark mutant with lava and molten as the main body as well as creating a jelly fish .l also plan on recreating the background layer for my first idea because I plan on add pillars on the background so that its not interactive with the character .

 

I also plan on creating a drawing of my mutant enemies for my FLOOR IS LAVA idea. I have to also create a drawing of my level layout cause although l have created mood boards on what I want the levels to look like I have talked or created a visualisation on how I would like for it to look in the game’s also plan on watching videos of different video games being played to get more ideas for both my video games.

  EXPLANATION OF HOW MY INITIAL IDEAS EVOLVED FROM RESEARCH TO FINALISED CONCEPTS.   My initial idea was inspired by the recent dea th of the rock legend, the prince of darkness Ozzy Osbourne. l wanted to   create a music festival webpage that will be a tribute music festival to Ozzy Osburn music festival to attract rock and metal enthusiasts as well as to attract Ozz y Osborne fans.   However,  after conducting research, I realised  that the majo r ity of the respondents wouldn't atte nd a tribute music festival.  l created a mock-up of what l would like f or it to look like but l soon realised that l wasn't using the feedbac k of my research . l then later came up with a pop music festival that followed the feedback of the primary research which showed that the  majority of the respondents were 18 years old or under which is mainly  students .This led to the concept of a back - t o - school pop music festival that...
