Hello

Hi everyone. I'm here to talk about designing games. I'm studying Games Design at college in the hope to create the first modern open-world set in the UK (something along the lines of Grand Theft Auto V or Sleeping Dogs). If you have any information, please share as I'd really like to know.

2.5D Platforms

Image
New Super Mario Bros. New Super Mario Bros. is a 2.5D platformer released for the Nintendo DS in 2006. It was created to bring the concept of classic Super Mario Bros. games into the 21st century to appeal to the next generation. The plot as the same as a typical Mario game, following Mario's journey as he fights his way through Bowser's henchmen to rescue Princess Peach. New Super Mario Bros. was a commercial success as it was the first 2D scrolling game to feature Mario since Super Mario Land 2 for the Game Boy in 1992 and received many positive reviews, the only criticism being due to its simplicity and similarity to older games. Released at a cost of £24.99 in the UK, the game sold nearly 31 million copies worldwide and is the best-selling Nintendo DS game of all time, as well as the 10th best-selling game of all time. The game's huge success has led to many sequels, they were released on the Wii in 2009, on the Nintendo 3DS and the Wii U in 2012 and on the Nint...

Research Exercise

Research Techniques Primary research is when you go out to collect people's feedback about something you've come up with. Ways to conduct this include conducting surveys both online and in the street. Sometimes just observing can get you the results you need. For example, you can check to see what types of games people are buying so you know what type of game to make. Secondary research is looking at existing examples of work from previous projects to get inspiration from your own. Examples of secondary research include looking on search engines like Google and Bing or looking through books and encyclopedias. You could use primary research to analyse a problem in a game by holding a survey to ask what people think about the problem to see how much of a problem it's viewed as. If you have an idea of how to resolve the problem (for example a sound problem) from better examples in other games, you could view them using secondary research to compare the good example with ...

Sound Problems and Solutions Assignment

Image
For this assignment, I will be looking at a general sound problem as well as a music problem. My sound problem comes from Grand Theft Auto V. Graphics-wise, it is meant to be one of the most realistic games in history, but when you hear some of the sounds that male NPCs make when you kill them with one punch, it really isn't. If you've followed my blog for a little while, you already know how much I've criticized the 3rd sound in the video below. It's meant to be made when the guy gets murdered. I scrolled down to use some qualitative research and see what people thought about these sounds but the comments were just full of people saying which one was their favourite because of how hilariously bad it is. However, I did get an answer at home. When I asked a family member what they thought of the 3rd sound, they said it sounded more like the guy had got his finger trapped in a door. Other than that, I knew it was down to me because this appears to be one of those prob...
