Brief 5: Pushing Boundaries, Student Competitions in Games Art and Design (Reflection)

Figure 1 (RPG character from my game in a crouch pose, 2024)

This was the most challenging assignment till date. Us students were involved in researching different art competitions and were encouraged to try to follow the guidelines of those events and create those 3D artefacts in the relevant fields. I created a successful locomotion state system for my RPG game which allowed my character to walk and run forward with an idle pose. I also finalized the crouch animation with a custom camera zoom out effect which I really felt proud of incorporating into my game as I have seen those in many popular titles.

Since I still have almost 2 months left and with the reading week and the vacation coming up, I would like to believe that I can end up with a small RPG game with fully functioning dialogue system with NPCs that provide quests and a full fledged combat system. If I can finish it before the deadline, I will enroll for the 'Best Student Game' category in GDWC Winter 2024. I do believe that I spent quite a lot of time just researching which is a bit negative as you have to always be researching and creative when it comes to working within a 3D space. However, since this is my first time creating a game from scratch, I feel very encouraged and hopeful about creating my own game in Unreal Engine.

Brief 5: Pushing Boundaries, Student Competitions in Games Art and Design (More about the competition)

The competition was linked to us students by our wonderful lecturer Neil and I was made aware of this event. The competition I am enrolling for is 'The Game Development World Championship' (GDWC 2024 Winter Season - The Game Development World Championship)

As per the latest statistics, there are around 45000 game developers already competing for the 2024 Winter Season. It started back in 12th of August, 2024 and the deadline is 31st of December, 2024 with still 55 days remaining. This will provide me with ample time to try my hand at creating a very small but concise RPG game with working questlines, NPCs and input poses.

As this is the biggest game development championship in the world, it attracts a large number of participants and a large number of interested sponsors and studios looking to get behind some of the best projects made under different categories. Since I am still a learning student over at the University of Hertfordshire, I was thinking of enrolling under the 'Best Student Game' category.

Hopefully by enrolling in this competition, it gives me fire and passion to develop something far greater and ambitious than what I thought was merely impossible.

Helheim Hassle is a Fan Favourite via GDWC

Helheim Hassle narrative adventure rocks the GDWC across Linux, Mac and Windows PC. Thanks to the efforts of developer Perfectly Paranormal. Which is available on both Humble Store and Steam with a discount. Not to mention 98% Very Positive reviews. And rightly so. Helheim Hassle by Perfectly Paranormal, a game studio from Norway. Has now won the weekly voting on Game Development World Championship Fan Favourite category for the Story Games Week. It is not a surprise if you play game.

What is Helheim Hassle?

"Helheim Hassle is a story adventure game. Which also happens to come with puzzle platforming elements. Play as Bjørn, a pacifist Viking that can detach and combine limbs at will. Then solve challenging puzzles and get out of uncomfortable situations. These involve desperate Norse Gods, Goblins, Dragons, and angry skeletons." Perfectly Paranormal describes Helheim Hassle. Perfectly Paranormal moves on to the next round of voting. Doing so in the Fan Favourite category of the GDWC - Game Development World Championship. Due to meet other Weekly Vote winners in a battle for the crown. Coming at the end of the GDWC 2020 season. 2nd place was taken by Saint Kotar by Red Martyr Entertainment from Croatia. Which is also available on Linux, Mac and Windows PC. But coming available in August 2021: "Saint Kotar is a psychological horror adventure. Set in an ancient rural town of Croatia. Take on the role of two godly men. While trying to unravel the terrifying truth behind the town's occult happenings. And the disappearance of their relatives. " Oddly enough the 3rd place win is a bit different than Helheim Hassle. Burn Me Twice by Null Reference Studio is from Spain. Sadly no Linux support here, but this Unity 3D game is playable via Protron. Which is also "free to play", should you want to take up the adventure on Steam: "Burn Me Twice is a narrative adventure that combines investigation segments. In which you can explore the enigmatic town of Düstenburg. With trials that will test your knowledge about the case."

GDWC Weekly Vote 28/2020 Nominees - Battle Week

Both Helheim Hassle and Saint Kotar are cross platform. Likewise, the GDWC team is congratulating the winning team. Including help to all Nominees and voters. The weekly votes take place each week. From Monday to Saturday and there are always six new exciting games to check out and vote for. This week's vote is already live on the event website at thegdwc.com. Helheim Hassle is available on both Humble Store and Steam with a 17% discount still. Even though the narrative adventure rocks the GDWC, the full price is $19.99 USD. So at least try the Linux Demo if you have not.
