Game Idea

 1.) A Bad Day On Planet Coralis 

  So when we were asked to generate ideas for the game what immediately came to my mind is a lot of freedom in the game, so I figured things or mechanics like grappling hooks, teleportation abilities or dashing or even air dashing. But with some level of worry, like since its a browser game, data management is important.  Some reference I look at is Shadow Blade a android game and it was made by unity.

Fig 1.1 Shadow Blade.

Story Idea :
A rock climber named Michael was struck by lightning one day, while climbing on a mountain with his family while a storm is brewing. He fell down along his with his family from the mountain and woke up on another world that isn't earth, while waking up he saw his family being taken away by a alien and passed out. When he woke up he found that he is alone in another planet and he finds out that he has powers when struck by lightning. Now he must find a way to bring back his family and while rescuing he met an astronaut with a scientist that's studying life on the planet. Michael met an explained what happen to him, and the scientist explained that the storm was a portal to another planet. The astronaut explained that the only way out was to steal an alien ship and apply coordinates to the ship navigation system. Eventually Michael saves his family and escapes through the space ship alongside his powers.

Project 2 (GreyBoxing)

For this project, I decided to plan my level design, where to place platforms, enemies. I'm also thinking about how the level would fit well with the mechanics that I'm going for, with movement being the focus, I wanted my levels to be some sort of a play ground.





Final Outcome Video


The final outcome of the game does not reflect what is being presented from the blogs and the Games Design Document. This is because that the original game files became corrupted when I was updating my Unity Version. The update was supposed to rebuild the project folders and most of the packages, but for some reason the scripts became corrupted and were unusable. I've tried rolling back to the old versions and that also didn't work, the scripts are corrupted and they became empty. Therefore  the final video outcome resulted into a game that had only 12 hours to be done.


Reflections

I have nothing but annoyance for this semester, studying online is not a fun experience for me at least. My hometown isn't really fit for online learning as there are constant blackouts and the past 3 and a half months are mostly rainy days which resulted in lag. That has affected the learning experience and it is hard for me to keep up with the modules. There are few times where I  skipped  class due to blackouts and Wifi lag and that forces me to have to keep up with left-behind sessions. Progress has also been significantly slower. This module is a really fun module to learn, but it has been ruined by these unfortunate events happening.

Advanced Interactive Design - 202003

Advanced Interactive Design - 202003 04.16.2020 Joseph (0336620) Advanced Interactive Design Exercise Week 1 We started with the MIB briefing, and then we proceeded to learning the Adobe Animate. Unfortunately, I haven't got the software yet. So I proceeded to take notes based on what our lecturer said about the software. Mr.Lun then proceeded to explaining our project one, which is actually shocking because he said that its due week 5 and we were pretty much rushing things. Our project was that we have to create an animation flow for a certain online shop. So for this weeks objective we were told to update our blogs, and start working on what we wanna animate (online store or service). After that we are expected to make an animation workflow and a wireframe for the week. So for my wireframe, I didn't exactly know what sort of apps or services or online stores that I wanna do, we were told to gain inspiration from a website called  UI Movement  and sort go th...
