Assignment 3 Post Mortem

If I was to redevelop the game , I would include audio and a proper dialogue that goes along the levels which would increase the engagement and emotions of the players towards the game. I would create more levels within the game to balance out the difficulty across the levels.If i was to redesign the levels of the game , I would include a unique theme for every level to provide the player a unique and engaging experience. I would add a health bar for the boss and change the design of the boss to a similar design as the death star from star wars to really give off the evil look. I would create new designs of the ace pilot to provide the player options. If I had another chance to redesign the map I would add an animation of a  shooting star in the background.

Assignment 3 Post mortem

I have successfully made my 4th and final game on Gdevelop for IBG220! The game we built was a continuation of my assignment 2, Johan the brave, and it was very fun seeing the game I had designed come to life. It wasn’t an easy process and it taught me a lot about game making as a whole. Now that I have acquired the skills to develop games in gdevelop and I have worked with a team in creating a game, I believe that if I were to develop another game I would be able to create something even more polished and exciting. 

The final version of the game wasn’t fully complete as several aspects of the game were not fully developed. However, if given more time and utilizing the skills that we acquired over the weeks of learning about game development, it is very likely that we would be able to complete the game as we had envisioned it. 

The reading that was required, “GAME DESIGN WORKSHOP: A PLAYCENTRIC APPROACH TO CREATING INNOVATIVE GAMES (FOURTH EDITION) - written by Tracy Fullerton was helpful in improving my understanding of game making. The chapter that I found to be the most beneficial in terms of helping me understand how to develop better games was chapter 7. Chapter 7 was extremely insightful in terms of what prototyping is and how to effectively use it. We had prototyped many ideas to implement into the game such as:

- dragon boss arena 

-dragon boss wind attack 

-dragon boss fire burst attack 

-dragon boss tail skewer attack 

Prototyping allowed us to see if these ideas would fit the theme of our game and would be fun to play against. We were very ambitious and had lots of ideas that we wanted to implement but we were limited due to the limitations of Gdevelop and time, we could not publish a game that represented those ambitious ideas.
