My Robot Emu

i don’t really do much art but I've been really feeling it lately so i made this  robot emu with raptor claws. the model took about 5 hours and the rigging and animating took about 1 and a half to 2 hours

The Last Day of Gold

for the last three months i have been making a game with a team of 8 people. as team we started making a small game called RAD City. Today is the last day of the project and even though there has be some bumps in the road, as a team we have pushed through.

over the last three months i have been really happy, as the producer with my team and how well they have been working. Today we have only some bugs to fix and then the whole project is finished :D.

Horses & idea flow

Today in class the teacher was teaching us on how to keep the flow of ideas in a team consistent and no pointless. So we as a class started to develop in idea from a random game name generator. the game name that we settled on was name All-Night Equestrian Struggle.

The idea we created was that you are a jockey riding on a horse.The game is a 2-player coop game where one player plays as the jockey and the other plays as the horse. the jockey controls the speed that the horse travels at and the balance is to balance out the horse from falling over which = game over. The horse controls the steering which is how the horse turns and the jumping which is how the horse jumps over obstacles.

Role Playing?

Today in class we were discussing team meetings and how they can go wrong because of everyone’s personal wants and goals. as a producer i must manage the meetings and make sure that i do not waste time because in a real business time = money spent. 

we did a class activity where we got into groups of 4-5 people and each of the people in the groups will be randomly given a role to play out. the roles were Programmer, artist, producer, design and sometimes audio guy. this activity was meant to show us how others might feel in there position as an artist, programmer ect.

Bug Testing Games

For the last two weeks i have been testing my life away on a game called Path of the Rabbit. This is not my game i am just testing it for bugs and stuff. So far it a pretty floor-less bug free game.

Bug Reporting

Over the least two week we have been learn what a QA tester does as a job.one of these things was bug reporting! A lot people think the a QA’s job is only a small job and means nothing to a games development. However, this couldn’t be any further away from the truth. QA are one of the more important things in the production of a game. If a game doesn’t get rigorously tested then the game might as well not be a game at all. the game will release with hundreds of bugs some of them will complete make the game unplayable. Will also learnt how to make our of bug report forms.
