shape man documenting

shape man assignment

the game im creating is called shape man which is similar to PAC man you have 5 basic shapes 3 lives and aload of enemy that you got to kill in order to get a score on the right is a little sketch of the main room as you can see the shapes in each corner are the one you touch to change shape so is the yellow square in the middle
on the right of the picture below the pentagon is the pills/bombs which you collect for score the square next to the pentagon is the player and the triangle with the arrows is the mob you have to kill. i have drew in the places for the score and the three hearts represent the lives also the 1 in the middle is for a clue of the next enemy mob.

for testing my brother alex did it and he gave me a couple of things to improve number one was the little wall glitch tat always happens and is really annoying and i think if i set it to bounce off the object then it might fix the problem the second was the mobs placing he suggested making them more spread out for a better chance of winning the game and the final one was to slow the walls down abit on the third level and change the sprites to something more interesting and animate them.

my walk through video (i had an issue with sound so its just a recording of gameplay.)

as you can see in the game it works well but there's been a few glitches ive found one is the walls you can get stuck in them but its fixable also the score goes a bit dodgy some times and the last one is when you change shape sometimes your shape just disappears.

this is the documented descriptions of all of my sprites objects rooms and backgrounds and its around 16-17 pages.

Unit 78: Digital Graphics for Computer Games

Assignment 2

client brief

create a 2D platform game, it should have at least 5 levels or rooms and one main character and several monsters to avoid. 

brainstorming

colorful- in the platform it will be a variety of colors and quite colorful it mixes with blue green red gray and many more.

simple- the platform game will be simple jump and move and pic up coins also try and doge enermy zombies that will try and kill you.

art styles- the platform game will have mainly used the pixel art style and it will range in many colors .

background- long wide and maybe a bright color.

game styles - it could fit into a mixture of different game types as it could be either a action, adventure, fantasy or racing.

storage - because its such a simple game it will not take up so much memory so it ill probably be around a couple of MB and every sprite would probably be saved as a jpeg the back ground will just be a standard color which ill select in the room making.

my brief

the game genre will be action as it will give you the ability to shoot at zombies. there will be coins to pick up and there will also be blocks that you stand on that will kill you also to got to the next room you will have to get to the goal which will be a bomb. the zombie that i will be using will be simple and pixelated so will the player but the player will be more detailed. each level the background will be blue and there will be another kind of bricks which will make up the walls and some of the floor these will also make the shapes and platforms that you stand on each level will have a unique lay out and you will not be able to touch parts of the floor the game will also have two menus 1 will be the main menu this will consist of two buttons one will be play button the other will be the exit button and the other will be pause menu will have a quit button that you press to go back to the main menu. the games difficulty will be quite hard as the players will have a little slide motion so you can slide of the blocks and die also the game will have GUI which will consist of score which will go up 10 every time you pick up one of the yellow coins and the coins will be scattered across the rooms also there will be a pickup you have to get that will destroy the walls that's your standing on plus the walls blocking the exit.

sprites

-player:a solider that has green woodland camo and white skin and will have a 9mm pistol.

-enermy: a basic zombie that will be green and will have bloody cloths.

-jewels: will be a coin that is yellow and will have the number one on it.

-wall 1:this will be the most used one which will be basic bricks but they will be a darkish gray .

-wall 2:this will be the death wall the will kill you on contact this will also be basic bricks but will be a dark red.

-goal 1:this will be the goal that you have to get to in order to get to the next level.

-goal 2:this will be the goal that you have to get to in order to finish the game.

-coin will be an object for you to pic up to build your score.

Main menu will have 2 buttons one will be a start button and the second will be a exit button also I might be creating a levels button that will let you select a level as long as you done it before.

Pause menu will have on button for now which will be a quit button which will take you back to the main menu. I will add another one to change you players color and another one for the back ground. You can access this by pressing the letter’s “p” on your keyboard

Level 1 will have a stone brick border and I will make it quite easy and will only have around 5 zombies but will be full of coins for you to pick up.

Level 2 will have the same broader as the all the other levels but it will have more zombies and you will have the ability to shoot them but the positioning of the coins will be slightly harder than the first

Level 3 will have the same border as the others but this one will be even harder that all the ones before and will have more enemy’s and harder to get coins .

Level 4 will have the same border as the others but will be harder and more difficult to get coins.

Level 5 will have the same border as the others but this level will be the hardest out of all the others and will have a coin that looks the same as the others but will put you in to a special room.

The special level will have a brick border but will have loads of zombies and coins for you to kill and collect once you killed the last one you will be able to  go back to level 5 and finish the game but you cant die or you will have to start again.

mood broad

concepts

Pre-production techniques for the creative media industry

cost research

hardware

only some computers have a good enough spec for game design as others will crash the cost for one of the good ones range from around £800 plus.peripherals is things that you can plug into a computer like a mouse or a keyboard you don't really need a expensive keyboard or mouse as they are not as important as the computer but you may need things to record sound like a microphone for the sound on your game. dev kits are needed to allow creation of a game mainly for the platforms like consoles such as Xbox and play station.

software

the software is important for game design there are many different ones the main ones are udk unity game maker and Maya. game maker is for 2D  games but there is costs for different versions

and unity is the main one used for mobile phones apps and tablets.

 the udk engine and game maker are free but im not sure about the others.

PUBLISHING

you can publish many different ways for different platforms the problem is the cost of the publishing

for you to pulish a game you need =either a dev kit for xbox or psn or team but to publish a game it can cost a good couple of hundred pound maybe up to a thousand.

Timescale

setting a timescale is important because of if you spend too long on one part of a game it will take longer than you need also if you time your self or your team to do different things for your game and if you have a curtain date you can try and complete it on time.

the best way to manage your time is to set a limit of work on each part of the game to make sure you don't spend forever doing it. also if you advertise a game for a date then run over the date your audience will become quite fed up and you might lose profit.

Personal

It is important to know what skills and experience in your team to create a game to meet your deadline you need to make sure you have enough people in your team to create your game you will need a programmer a artist and someone to create digital graphics. For you product to be released you will need someone that has skills in business.

 Also to make a game you will have to spend your money on software and publishing. You will also have to pay some people in your team. You will have to check your teams cvs to see if you got the right person on the write job.

Facilities

For some games that have been made they use different places to make them for example fifa is made by using a motion studio for the different tricks because it would be hard to animate them but the cost of the studio can be quite a lot depending on how big.

Materials

For a game to be created you will need certain things in order to start production. Most games make concept art for the main characters and weapons and backgrounds others may use a story board to show the story of the game as the person plays the game people also create concepts for the game assets also you can use the internet to gather ideas for a game and look at what sort of game ins most brought by the public. Also it is important to look at different games to make and idea of the sort of sound/audio that is used for different types of games so it suits the genre. If you get the wrong sound it won’t be good.

Contributors

To make a game that stars a certain person you will need to acquire that person but it can cost quite a bit of money but it can make your game seem more professional and help with the areas of the game you are making. Games like call of duty use the us military to advise on the weapons and vocal scripts for some of the characters and the types of scenery used for the story.

Codes of practice

Tom publish a game for the public you have to go through certain different things in order to make you production able to be released

Firstly you need to do research on the pegi ratings to make sure your game is aimed at the right people for example a game rated 3 would be like racing games like forza game rated 16 would have slight action but not much this would be games like wwe which has action but is not gory or rude but games rated 18 will be horror and extremely violent and gory game like call of duty gta and alien isolation these are the game that children shouldn’t play. Also on the back of every game case you have to pust some health and safty regulations regarding your game to make sure people have fun playing but stay safe whilst doing so. Also you can use other peoples games as inspiration but you cant copy because you then will be at risk of being sent to a court of law for copy right. Also you have to take into account public liability as some people frome a different ethic group might not like the content or the comments used in the game as they might find it offensive and you could get sewed for racist content.

My game

the game genre will be action as it will give you the ability to shoot at zombies. there will be coins to pick up and there will also be blocks that you stand on that will kill you also to got to the next room you will have to get to the goal which will be a bomb. the zombie that i will be using will be simple and pixelated so will the player but the player will be more detailed. each level the background will be blue and there will be another kind of bricks which will make up the walls and some of the floor these will also make the shapes and platforms that you stand on each level will have a unique lay out and you will not be able to touch parts of the floor the game will also have two menus 1 will be the main menu this will consist of two buttons one will be play button the other will be the exit button and the other will be pause menu will have a quit button that you press to go back to the main menu. the games difficulty will be quite hard as the players will have a little slide motion so you can slide of the blocks and die also the game will have GUI which will consist of score which will go up 10 every time you pick up one of the yellow coins and the coins will be scattered across the rooms also there will be a pickup you have to get that will destroy the walls that's your standing on plus the walls blocking the exit.

First I will be creating my sprites for the game all together they will be about 8 sprites and at the minute I have created 3 after the sprites I will be making a background which will be a blue sky with clouds and rain animations and cloud animations to. After the background I will be making the sound product for the game which will be explosions gun fire and a music beat. Then I will begin coding for the game when I’ve finished the coding I will make a menu and a instructions page with the controls and a picture showing the gui for the game.

Sprites

-player: a solider that has green woodland camo and white skin and will have a 9mm pistol.

-enemy: a basic zombie that will be green and will have bloody cloths.

-jewels: will be a coin that is yellow and will have the number one on it.

-wall 1: this will be the most used one which will be basic bricks but they will be a darkish gray .

-wall 2: this will be the death wall the will kill you on contact this will also be basic bricks but will be a dark red.

-goal 1: this will be the goal that you have to get to in order to get to the next level.

-goal 2: this will be the goal that you have to get to in order to finish the game.

-coin will be an object for you to pic up to build your score.

Main menu will have 2 buttons one will be a start button and the second will be a exit button also I might be creating a levels button that will let you select a level as long as you done it before.

Pause menu will have on button for now which will be a quit button which will take you back to the main menu. I will add another one to change you players color and another one for the back ground. You can access this by pressing the letter’s “p” on your keyboard

Level 1 will have a stone brick border and I will make it quite easy and will only have around 5 zombies but will be full of coins for you to pick up.

Level 2 will have the same broader as the all the other levels but it will have more zombies and you will have the ability to shoot them but the positioning of the coins will be slightly harder than the first

Level 3 will have the same border as the others but this one will be even harder that all the ones before and will have more enemy’s and harder to get coins .

Level 4 will have the same border as the others but will be harder and more difficult to get coins.

Level 5 will have the same border as the others but this level will be the hardest out of all the others and will have a coin that looks the same as the others but will put you in to a special room.

The special level will have a brick border but will have loads of zombies and coins for you to kill and collect once you killed the last one you will be able to  go back to level 5 and finish the game but you cant die or you will have to start again.

Pixel Art
Pixel Art is normally seen in 2D games, comprised of 2D sprites to create a character or object. An example of a game that consists of pixels would be super Mario, back when it was 2D.

As you can see in this GIF the two versions of 2D Mario both contain pixels, as you can see by the square shapes on the image. Pixels aren't just squares, however it is one of the most common ways of identifying a pixel.

As you can see Pixels do restrict a game to being 2D as they are flat and do not allow for 3D graphics, also looking unrealistic it is not so ideal for a game that is aiming to be photo realistic.
On the left of this GIF you can see the very first version of Mario, which is restricted to few colours that do not look detailed at all, however the right version is a remake which has added colours which allow to define a character much more, as you can notice in the female character who looks very basic in the left and much more detailed in the right.

Concept Art

Concept Art refers to a character, weapon or the general environment in which a game takes place.

Digital Graphics

Raster images: These are in the form of BMP, GIF, TIFF, JPEG.
http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/imagetypes.htm
JPEG - JPEG is a form of lossy compression, and is a file type that is used primarily for images with colour. With a JPEG the file size is normally smaller at the price of some image quality loss.

TIFF - TIFF files are larger than JPEG files, however they do not lose any quality as the files are not compressed like JPEG files, and TIFF files normally have a much better quality than other file types.

GIF - A GIF is usually an animated moving image, as you can see in this image below. GIF's do support static images as well, and are a form of lossless compression as they do not lose any image quality.


Vector Images
Vector images uses lines, curves or polygons in their images. This type of image is saved primarily in PSD, WMF, FIA, AI.
PSD - A PSD file is a layered image file format that consists of layers. Normally this file type is from a Photoshop file, so that the layers can individually be edited even if the file has been saved. http://whatis.techtarget.com/fileformat/PSD-Adobe-Photoshop-default

WMF - Stands for windows metafile, this is a file extension for files saved in windows. Orginally this file type was made for windows 1990, however it has since been adapted to support current file types.

graphic specification

compression

this is a term that is used when you get a file and squash it into a file of a smaller size for example the file format jpg compresses a image into one that's the same but less quality this is a good way to save memory for other data.

file extentions

this is a specified as a suffix to the name by syntax by either a dot or space that idicates the format for the computer file here are a few examples (.png , .jpeg , .exe , .dmg , and .txt)

image capture

to capture an image you can use one of the following scanner tablet/phone or a digital camera you can find the best by looking how many mega pixels it has also.

optomising

this is a term that can mean improving you creation and but to do that you need to know what these following are:

target image output-the way you want it to be

bit depth-this is so your image can be a small size to take up less memory a good one would be 8 or 16 bit.

resolution - this can also help save memory with the file but you can loose picture quality of your image it is also important if you want to capture a image of high qulity you  will need a good enough device to do so.

dimentions- the dimensions is good to no when your saving as if its 2d you can save to psd/jpeg but 3d would have to be pla.

storage of image assets

this is things that you can store on but you will need to know what to save it as and know what to call the file. for example i wold save this picture as

a jpeg because is an image and it being compressed will save memory.

This is a picture that is with very high detail that makes it look real when it really isn’t. These are used in game with high resolution which are game on consoles such as Xbox / PlayStation for these you will need a computer that is high spec for the detail and realism.

game brief 

a brief is a set of instructions given in a job to create or achieve something these are usually quite basic but you will have to add mare to complete it. This may consist of a client brief (which is given by someone else)a own brief (which is one you made) and market research to have something to base your brief on.

ideas generation

brainstorming- is jotting down everything there is to do with a subject to help with your ideas in your game 

mood boards - is similar to brainstorming but more picture based this could consist of textures or patterns you could use

thumbnail sketching- is a way so make characters and weapons for your games sprites

concept drawings- producing ideas of various game part for example backgrounds vehicles and   characters 

legal an ethical considerations

copyright law - this is a law that was made to stop people using other peoples ideas in there own creation if you brake the law you can loose alot of money "Copyright law originated in the United Kingdom from a concept of common law; the Statute of Anne 1709. It became statutory with the passing of the Copyright Act 1911. The current act is the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988." .

libel - a published false statement that is damaging to a person's reputation.

representation of females in games - women are mainly sexulised in computer games.

interlectual property is stuff created from the mids such as artist work and designs.

assignment 1 for unit 78 : graphics for computer games

Super Mario is an old 2D game that uses a lot of basic art styles like pixel which is mostly use one out of all of them as the sprite and backgrounds are mainly using pixel. The Mario sprite is small and uses pixel as it’s a basic 2d sprite which is made up of 3 main colours red blue and bage. The sprite its self would probably have been saved as a jpeg as the file is a vector image and is not that big because is not that detailed and isn’t that high quality. As it is such a small file it would not need to be compressed.

The back ground of the game is slightly more detailed than the sprite but not by much the clouds and pipe have a little 3d shading for effect. The background would have been a jpeg to as is basic and not really detailed .

The texture art in all of the game is very small as the bricks are basic but the game has mostly has no texture.

The sounds of the game are very basic and have a catchy beat also there is a different sound for different things for example when you hit the block for a coin it makes a bash noise and when you pick the coin up it makes a ting sort of noise.

The game was an 8 bit because of low resolution and it wouldn’t have been compressed because the file would have already been small and the game would have been the maximum of around 2 GB and it was originally played on the retro Nintendo game consoles.

Super Mario is a old game and there are many versions of the game the newer versions are not pixelated and are more detailed.

3D GAME: BATTLEFIELD 4

Battlefield 4 is a 3d game that has used a lot of artistic styles and game graphics. The characters in battlefield are extremely photo realistic and was clearly compressed so this was saved as a tiff the amount of photorealism with the face and the gear like the guns that were used look like replicas of the real life models. The effects of the gun firing are quite detailed as they make little flash animations. There is also a blood splatter effect that appears when you’re shooting an enemy. Also there are expoltion anamations when your rocket/granade has blew up it looks quite good and real also.

 

The game is a 64 bit game because of the games high resalution and all of the different effects would have been in a separate file also the games 3d decorations of the buildings look quite photo realistic as the texures of the walls and floor bring out the resulution of the buildings. The tarrian is mainly grass and stone and water the water effects are quite real with the water animations of the waves and beaches.

The grass and sand is quite realistic and it can also be destroyed with the bombs. The trees and bushes have a wind effect which is also qutie realistic as they sway in the wind direction. Also the flash and smoke from the granades look quite realistic as the flash sends the screen white and then has a 2 second delay till it regens to normal.

The hole game overall is compressed to make the file smaller as the amount of detail that the game consists of and would make it extremly large in file size

The sounds and music used in battlefield are more complexed as there are sounds for every thing that’s in the game even the animations. The explotions make a collision noise so you know that its happened.

The texure on battle field is realistic and there is a lot more texture used in the photo realistic game.

comparison

These two games have a main character but one is more evolved into the new generation tech than the other the 2d game in easy and basic to make however the 3d is a detail tarrain with the trees and grass animations and a lot of effects.

Both of the games are based at a different quality but the both inclued a main character and background+foreground.

The difference between the two is the 8 bit game is a small fille with not much quality but the 64 bit is a big file because of reslution and quality but if you wanted a game like this on a mobile or tablet it would have to be compressed there for it would loose abit of quality.

The 8 bit game would have been played on a old retro console like game boy or old nintendo as super mario is a really old video game however the 64 bit game would have been put on a console of way more better graphics prosessor as it needs one strong enough to handle the graphics of the game this game was relesed on the xbox 360 and the playstation 3 but for those consoles the file was compressed and it lost a bit of quality. It was then realesed on the xbox one and playstation 4 which has a better graphic prosesor and didn’t need compressing.

The most obvious differents between the two is the 8 bit game is pixelated but the 64 bit was photo realistic.

The biggest difference between the two games is the time scale. For these games to be made they had to be set a time limit but the 8 bit game would have been less than the 64 bit because the 8 bit was pixelated and requied hardly any detail on the sprites and background but the 64 bit game is realy photo realistic therefore the game would of taken a couple of years to make to perfect the detail on the characters and game props used. Also as the storage size is bigger for battle field 4 shows the difference on the timescale it took to make.

The two game both involve sound but there is a big difference on the types and styles of the sounds used. The 8 bit game consists of a few different sounds but the 64 bit game has more complexed sounds used and a lot more to the reason for this is the 64 bit game would have a sound for every thing from nature to animations.

the textures used in both of the games are completely different because of the file size the 64 bit is more detailed and has more textures but this is because the game has had more hardware to create the 8 bit game is old there fore had hardly any hardware but still has a good use of texture in the 8 bit game.

Good that computer games bring

The bad things about computer gaming

-gaming is good in some ways for example playing a game can improve your hand eye coordination and you will be a lot better with your reactions. -playing video games helps you improve your creativity the more you play them. Also can help with their problem solving skills http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2011-11/msu-vgp110211.php -developing reading and maths skills When someone reads the instructions they are developing better reading skills -playing a video game can help improve a gamers concentration when they concentrate on the game they are playing. -if the game you are playing is a simulation then that can help you develop real life skills for example the game Sims castaway is good for learning survival skills. -management is another skill you gain when it comes to playing games when you play games like “tycoons” these help you develop management skills. -brain training game on the Nintendo ds are good for your educational skills which can help you prepare for your exams -taking risks to win any game you will need to take a risk for you to win this could help you in real like situations. -perseverance when you play a hard level you will want to complete it this is good for tasks given by people or work at school.

-social isolation this is a bad thing because some gamers are inside all day long playing on games and they never go out this can cause many issues regarding confidence with people in social places. This will make you lose socializing skills being socially isolated can affect your head. http://www.thestar.com/life/parent/2008/04/28/violence_and_video_games.html   -concerns such as excess playing time  Games are fun to play but there is a few concerns for playing on them too much. The problem is that playing without brakes can result in health risks.
