WEEK 8 :FINAL MAJOR PROJECT.

z
PROGRESS MADE FROM LAST WEEK 

Last week I planned on creating another background layer for my PHAROAH VENGENCE which is my first game idea l planned on creating another layer a parallax background with Egyptian pyramids; sky and sun on the background as well as Egyptian pillars on the background as well so it's not interactive with the characters ended changing my mind cause l had to restart everything which would cause me to be a week behind. 

The image below is a mood board of what l wanted the background layer to look like although l didn't make it for the Pharoah's vengeance game idea i do plan on making one for my THE FLOOR IS LAVA game idea with a cave background with lava seeping on the walls. 

  


 l ended up just creating pillars on Piskel to then upload them as tile assets. Below are the images of the things l created on Piskel. 


 











I also created sketches of enemies such as mutant lava shark ; mutant sea turtle ; and a mutant jelly fish THE FLOOR IS LAVA game idea .These are the images that l sketched in order to create a visualization as well as to provide visual aid just so that l don't lose track on what l was doing and to prevent me from coming up with a completely different idea mid production. 

The first image l sketched using Photoshop on a grid line paper was of a mutant lava shark. 



 

The second image l sketched was of a mutant jellyfish. 

 




 

The third image is of a sketch of a mutant lava sea turtle. 


I created a shark mutant of with a human body but a shark which will be my final boss enemy that will fight the main character. Below are the images which l got my ideas from. 

I also used the canvas color palette in order to get a colour palette of what l would like the mutant shark to look like colour wise.The first image was of a extraction of a realistic shark but l decided to use the second one because the first ones colour was a bit too dull.




 

I also sketched level layouts of the different levels on PHOTOSHOP of my PHAROAH VENGENCE game idea. 



The second sketch I made was of my second game level of PHAROAH VENGENCE game idea. During the production stage I plan on using Scarbrough castle for the game setting. 

 

The third image l made was of the third level of PHAROAHS VENGENCE game idea. 

 

 


 

 

 

 






BREAKTHROUGHS THAT I MADE

I realized that when you are creating or coloring something on photoshop but forget what color palette you used you can just click on the image part that you colored with perhaps a shade of red you just click on it then go on the color icon and then it will regenerate the colour palette number for you again .thus preventing the process of writing down the colour palette down . (SEE A VIDEO IN A SEPERATE FOLDER)

I learnt about what a parallax background is and how it is used in video game background to creating a sort of realistic background and how popular video games like Super Mario Bros, Limbo, Sonic the Hedgehog and Donkey Kong use parallax backgrounds. 

 




ANYTHING I FOUND HARD

When l was uploading a image of a pillar that l created on Piskel I struggled with getting it to be the right size on flow lab because when l did it would fill up the enter screen instead of it just being the same size as flowlabs game asserts but l late realized that l have to adjust the size on Piskel before l save it and then adjust it when l save it then upload it on flow lab then problem solved. 

I also had a minor problem when l was trying to zoom in a image on PHOTOSHOP because when l pressed the CTRL button and + button it still wouldn't zoom in l also tried pressing the windows button and the + button but it still wouldn't zoom in but after a good while I realized that photoshop on its left hand side corner has a number that is written in as a percentage (e.g. 100%) which you can adjust  to zoom in or to zoom out.

PLANS FOR NEXT WEEK.

Create the games main characters , appointing behaviors , make a lava animation and a character as well as a enemy animation of mummy for my first level of the pharaohs vengeance ,and the floor is lava mutant animal enemies animation of the shark jumping in and out of the lava while the jelly fish and the sea turtles just swim in the floor lava. Creating a cave background as well as finally creating stone tile platforms for the floor is lava as well as creating a animation of my main character which is a fire fighter.
