GENRE

• Puzzle/Casual

INFLUENCES and EXAMPLES

• “Unpacking” and “The Test”

IDEAS AND EXPLANATION

The game plays out a lot like unpacking with multiple endings, though you are only given a certain amount of moves to sort out the cloudy headspace of some one going through stages of there life, focusing mostly on the developing times. Things can eventually get cleared up and concepts can be understood but not with out learning other parts later impacting the protagonists life. As they grow older horrors can get in your way and impact the character depending on what you have figured out. It is not completely clear that this is someones mind though as it is presented as a small communities area with a few houses a park and such though it is implied.

WHO WILL YOU NEED TO ACCOMPLISH THIS IDEA?

• A programmer to set up a good feeling interface and a tree like system bring different endings and scenes. A capable pixel art team who understand the visions of this game to life, following design ideas but adding critic and own experiences

WHAT DO YOU HOPE TO LEARN FROM THIS PROJECT

• Mostly learning how to create a story game, putting themes and a story of what I want to share into a comprehensive experience

SUMMARY – Due Dec. 9

Role

SKILLS COMMENTARY

The slideshow evidence is shown in the unity project and itch page. The game is a 1v1 Moba that connects through a shared wifi. My skills contributed to the game because of the UI that the player is now able to experience and understand the game through new ways

Nate is the most intriguing person I know inside and outside of class and is one of the most efficient workers I know. I and Nate have known each other since 6th grade and have always worked to a high level of work, whether it be through art in my game design or his video editing skills. Nate’s ability to pick up and learn skills in a short time is something that has inspired awe in me. Nate also always keeps a cool head in times of stress and lots of humility. I can recommend Nate with 100% certainty for any position.

IDEAS AND EXPLANATION

• Realized you were abused by your owner only for profit
• On your death bed you turn into flame and rise from the ashes like a phoenix killing and starting your own Chicken empire
• create a revolution of chickens, raising the price of eggs by controlling the market and creating a better civilization for all chicks and scientifically making them all better, with you as the overlord.

SKILLS COMMENTARY

Credit menu in the game

My role was based around player interactivity with the game, such as damage and a health bar in our game.

POST-PRODUCTION – REFLECTION – Due Jan. 17

21st CENTURY SKILLS

Ways of Thinking (Creativity, Innovation, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving)

I grew in ways of thinking by creativity by working on a projectile needing to use critical thinking to understand how to transfer code previously of instant damage to only trigger damage on a completely separate function to a auto tracking projectile. Problem solving how to create two canvases and only have one show up for each player, generating the requested information

Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)

I told Bryce what scripts i was working on so we did not collide, I set up Trello on my personal account increasing ease of use for myself. We both used the map scene and basePlayerController a lot so we communication was necessary.

Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)

I used many tools to help me such as unity documentation, youtube, bug solving sites, and discord to work with my team.

Ways of Living in the World (Life & Career)

As I have chosen game design to be my career path, working on the game in this manner and learning unity all contributed to my eventual life and career

REACTIONS TO THE FINAL VERSION

“The game looks very promising, but the characters need animations in order to tell when they’re attacking” -Hunter

SELF-REFLECTION

I chose the Evaluative self reflection. What worked well was I was able to put a lot more time into working on the game. What became more challenging is that i have started working on the bulk of difficult work getting many pieces connected and main mechanics.

I choose intentional self-reflection and some of the things I want to research further is map design and how that impacts the game’s play ability.

Bryce

In a world where there is a deity for every concept, from the cast of characters one needs to fight the other to prevent the demands from the other from happening

The protagonist is the character you are playing as

Pvp MOBA 1v1/2v2 game

Not really a story game but to lane for more resources expand that lead into objectives and win the game

In this fantasy setting, deities represent specific concepts, objects, or ideas, with only one deity per concept. Duels, held in a standardized arena, are a common sport for gaining clout or settling disputes, with varying stakes set by the participants. Elder deities, who embody fundamental concepts tied to humanity’s perception, sponsor new deities by bestowing powers based on their chosen concepts. Mortals, aware that magic and the world evolve based on human beliefs, often invent and discover new things in hopes of being chosen as a deity.

The elders strive to represent the human experience, evolving alongside and the world around humanity’s changing beliefs, which also causes the world to shift. Deities are replaced when they no longer adequately embody their concept as it shifts. The longer deities stay away from the mortal world, the more detached and monstrous they become. The city-like divine realm, with its shifting borders and sections, reflects these constant changes, while deities serve as stabilizers to prevent their concepts from becoming warped. Elders, however, cannot be destroyed, only evolved.
