Prototype 1

 

Image - Screenshot of my Prototype (my own image)

When creating my first prototype I spent a while messing around with some of the building options because I just wanted to get used it, from there I went on and created the players character. The players character is just a red cylinder which is in the image above but the player will not be able to see the character at any point. 

I made that the player can roam around in first person mode being controlled by WASD keys and the mouse. The code I used to create this I found here.

As well as creating this I created the outline of the ground floor of the house so now everything is ready to be added downstairs. 

Next week I want to have the outline of the top floor complete and also the two ghosts placed in the house. 

This was all difficult as this is the first time I have really started to create my own game but I do feel like I'm on the right track and if I keep planning ahead everything should go to plan.

    Hi Nathan! Your game looks very good so far and I am liking the blog post too keep it up! Unfortunately I could not watch the video as it would not work for me. However I liked how you linked the code you used for the controls of your player. When you said you were going to add things downstairs, do you know what is going to be added to the downstairs of the house? Maybe an obstacle for the player or something to scare the player? One suggestion would be to say what went well for you this week and how smooth things went. Well done Nathan :)

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.
