This week I feel as though I have made great progress with my game. 

Firstly I added my main menu. (I learned how to do that here)

I got the background image here. (I added my own effects to it)

Secondly I made that the 3 doors that open with keys work. So basically when you collect the first key the first door opens, collect second key and the second door opens and so on. This was the most difficult thing have added to the game so far and it did take me a long time but I got there in the end. (I learned how to do this here)

Then when this was all done I added my sound effects to the game there is a sound effect on the menu and a separate one in the game. (Sound effect asset)

They were my goals for this week so realistically I could've stopped but I wanted to add some detail to the spawn room too see how it goes. (Furniture asset 1, Furniture asset 2)

My goal for next week is to add the ending point of the game with a message when you complete it, then I want to add timer and a message that you lost if you run out of time and I also want to add all of the real walls and floors as the ones right now are just a temporary layout guide I created. 

When I get to this point next week the weeks after that will allow me to just continue adding really good and effective detail to the game and also allow me clean up anything need be.

    Hi Nathan! Your game looks fantastic, It looks like something I would buy on Steam. The Main Menu looks very spooky and I like the effects you added on it. You've come a long way for your first playable and you know where you're at. Will you add any spooky ghosts to your game or any weird creepy sound effects, I feel like that would be very cool. I also feel like walking effects would be sweet (the pitter pattering of shoes on a concrete floor) or sounds of doors creaking open? Anyway your game looks perfect and I wouldn't add anything else! - Anna Zurawska

Introduction to Nathan's world

Welcome to my introduction blog, I hope after you read this you will get to know me a little better and I hope you enjoy!   So, my name is Nathan, I’m from Clondalkin in Dublin and I’m 20 years old but most people call me Gino it’s a nickname that stuck with me years ago and people have called me it ever since and to be honest I weirdly started to like it and I’m more used to it then my own name now.    Back in 2018 I finished school and from there I went on and did a PLC in Stillorgan College studying Event Management and Digital Marketing quickly enough when I was in the course I started to realize I liked the creative side of things a lot more than anything else for example creating posters and leaflets for events. After I discovered this, I started to research a bit into what I wanted to do after the PLC and luckily enough I found this course and as soon as I seen it, I knew it was for me. After I went to the open day I was really excited and hoping I would get accepted for the cou

Game Idea Research

Choosing my game So, the game idea I’m going to be working on for the rest of the semester is my scary game and I’m going to name it “house666”. The reason I’ve chosen the scary game is because I think it’s different and it will be really fun to make and hopefully not too difficult. The name I’ve chosen simply came to me because the game is going to be based in a house and the devil’s numbers are 666, so as soon as you see 666 you know what you’re in for.  Image - Creepy House Brief description of the game I have discussed this in my first game brainstorm but I have changed my mind a little so, firstly the game will be based in a house and your overall objective is to get out of the house of course it won’t be that simple so you’ve to complete some objectives and get out. Last time I wrote about this is I talked about being chased around the house by a character and if your caught you lose well that has changed a little as I realized that be may be fairly difficult so what I’m going to

Game Design Document

My GDD took me a while to complete as I knew what I was putting in there really was important information and I wanted to take my time with it to do it to the best of my abilities.  My game is a horror / scary game named "House 666" and this GDD covers everything you would need to know to go on and create the game. ( Link to my GDD ) Image - Scary Game GIF I used Dundoc to create my GDD and I found it really useful, once you spend a few minutes on it you realise how simple it is to use.  There was some small pieces I left out as I wasn't to sure on them at the moment and I also may add some sketches and screenshots time goes bye.
