The prototype I created that week was a storyboard and what frames I had created so far for the animatic I planned to put at the very beginning of the game. This animatic would basically explain why the player character is starting at an entrance of a farm village at the start of the game.… Continue reading Emma’s Prototype Sprint #3
This week’s prototype, I attempted to create a rough version of one of my minigame ideas. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to code it to the degree for it to be playable in time for class, so I ended up creating a print-out version to show manually instead while I explain it. I also had sketches… Continue reading Emma’s Prototype Sprint #2
For my first prototype, I made a very basic and short demo of the game opened up on Unity for people to try out and see. There was one scene and two character sprites (1 NPC and 1 player). As for mechanics, the only thing players were able to do was walk from one end… Continue reading Emma’s Prototype Sprint #1
My plan for the upcoming three prototypes would be to test out the overall style and atmosphere of the game, the story/storyboard of the into animatic, and the mechanics and level of enjoyment of one of the minigames. This plan may change depending on the feedback I receive as I might decide to just continue… Continue reading Emma’s Prototype Plan
This week I mainly finished the story for the demo portion and continued to work on the animatic I have planned to put at the front of my videogame. Still a bunch more frames to go but hoping to get as much as I can done by the time the Fall show pops up. I… Continue reading Emma’s Research Update #3
This week, I created a storyboard for the animatic I’m making for the very beginning of the game. I have also finalized the style I’d be drawing in, so I’ll be working on a rough/sketchy version of the actual frames from here on. And then depending on how much I manage to get done before… Continue reading Emma’s Research Update #2
In the very beginning of my game, there will be a short, animatic-like animation that’d serve as the intro to the game. I’ve been mainly focusing on that this past week and created various drafts/sketches in a storyboard format. As it’s in a sketch/draft stage, I was trying to experiment with different styles before figuring… Continue reading Emma’s Research Update #1
History of the FieldIn terms of general videogames, they were first created in the 1950’s by scientists in labs. One example of this would be OXO, a tic-tac-toe game created on a computer by A.S. Douglas in 1952 as part of his doctoral dissertation. As for the first videogame that could be played and installed… Continue reading Emma’s Research Plan
Introduction My idea for senior thesis is to create a simple, story-oriented 2D rpg game. In this game, the players will play as NAME: a highschool senior not yet ready to go to college, or more specifically, not yet ready to be kicked out of the ‘teen’ circle. Seeing him acting up because of this,… Continue reading Emma’s Revised Concepts
1. My current/primary plan is basically me making a simple, story-oriented 2D rpg game. Overall, the mechanics of the game would be simple (click, drag, arrow keys) as the main things the player would do is click through text and use arrow keys to move NAME to point A to point B. To break up… Continue reading Emma’s Initial Concepts
