Game Development.

Original Game Original Sprites New Game Loading Splash Screen Level Screen When the game starts, you are in a level room, where you choose one of three doors to start different levels. Unfortunately we couldn’t make all three levels so only the first door is active. Once through the first door you are in the mine level. The mine level consists of collecting carts for points and avoiding enemies…

Level Design

The three levels were designed over the weekend we were away, The Mine, The Sky Level and the Forest Level. Although the Sky and Forest levels aren’t going to be used, we still kept the concepts to be added to our blogs. The Forest Level The forest level used branches as the platforms to enable the character to get through the game. The level consisted of thicker and thinner branches. Thick ones,…

Mine Enemies (MOLES)

For our game, the levels needed platforms for the player to get around the game, while avoiding obstacles and dangers, but they also needed to avoid enemies. For the Mine level, we decided to use Moles as the enemy. I sketched up some ideas for these characters and then used markers to create a final copy of the designed characters. For the basic enemies, I decided to use a miner mole, this…

Reducing the game

unfortunately, we realised that with the time limit we have, it was going to be pretty much impossible to do all three levels.

Team Pitches and Picking a game

During the first day of Nextgen, we were to pitch our current game to people within our team. Each team member were to pitch their initial game, any design, and a possible demo of the game to each other.

once each person had pitched their game idea, we were to vote on which game we thought had the most potential.

The games were

- Tower: A pixel RPG adventure game in which you are to escape a tower.

-ESCAPE: A board game in which players must answer questions correctly in order to not get caught.

- Anti-Virus: A 2D Platforming shooter in which you are an anti-virus program and need to destroy viruses within a computer

-Lucious: A 2D Platforming adventure which players play as one of three characters and collect items and avoid enemies.

-Vikings: A 2D Top down game in which the player must control a Viking ship to get it to Canada, avoiding enemies, whirlpools and other obstacles.

-LampLight: A 2D Top down maze game, where the player controls a space ship through a darkened maze, using a lamp to help them see their way through.

The game that was chosen was a mixture of both Lucious and LampLight.

Each game showed potential, Lucious with its story and characters, and LampLight, with the lamp to help light up the path.

The two games are going to be merged, so that Lucious is a 2D platformer that uses light to make the game that bit harder.
