Backstory and Tragic Event (Charcter Development) Analysis

Image - GIF - Research

This week’s reading task took me a long time to complete, I spent a long-time finding papers and then a long time doing my annotated bibliographies, but with that being said I’m happy with what I have achieved this week. My topic is backstories and tragic events within character development and this week I have found a lot of interesting stuff that is going to help me put my literature review together. I was initially thinking my research would all be about storytelling and so on, but I have gotten information about how certain events can affect player emotions, how AI can be used for characters in game and lots more.

When I was first looking for writings to study, I was only using the colleges library, but this week I started to use google scholar which I found to be extremely useful. After a while I started to get used to how to search to get more accurate results and I started to find more keywords to help me along my way.

After this week I feel like I have improved my knowledge on my writing and research skills and I’m curious to see where things will go from here.

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 accept...

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 goin...
