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.

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...

3D Modelling Software

In this report, I will be discussing the different types of 3D modelling software available that have different uses in the media industry and therefore, different purposes, and then geometric theory, mesh construction and the constraints to consider when discussing 3D models. One the most popular ones is Autodesk Maya, developed by Alias Systems and originally released in 1998 (owned by Autodesk since 2005). It's used to generate 3D assets for use in television, film, game development and architecture. A virtual workspace is used to implement and edit media of a particular project to create a scene. They can be saved in a variety of formats, the most popular being .mb. Maya exposes a node graph architecture as scene elements are node-based. Each node has its own attributes and customisation. In Maya, the visual representation of the scene is based entirely on a network of interconnecting nodes which depend on each other's information. For the convenience of viewing those net...

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 ...
