Game Design Document

-

I started my game design document earlier on this week. Unfortunately when I clicked on my link the make sure it worked I found that my work wasn't there. As a result I had to start again and rush to add information to my document. However I will add to and improve this document over the next few weeks as I develop my game. 

Here is a link to my document.

    Hey Leslie! I Just read your game design document and previous blog posts in which you talked about the development of your game and think it sounds great! I've done a few escape rooms myself and it's really fun trying to solve the puzzles to get yourself out! I love how you want it to have elements of horror in it, I think it will make it much more tense and want the player to finish the game quicker. I was wondering if the whole game will take place in one room or will you make your way through various rooms to complete the game? Do you have any idea what will represent the player? Will there be a character the player is playing as or will the camera be a POV perspective? Something I think could be cool is if you were able to implement jump scares somewhere in the game, I think it could work great with the eerie feel you are going for. Anyways, I hope it works out well and I can't wait to play the game!

    Hey Leslie,

    That was a very interesting read on your GDD and I really like the idea of your game. It sounds very simple but with a lot of potential. I personally like games where you have to use your head and solve certain clues to progress so I can't wait to try out your game. One question I have about the game is will there be another level to it? Or will there be a story to this level that your making? Regardless, I like the game mechanics you have and I have no doubt it will be a great game.

Introduction to me!

For this post i've decided to give you an insight into the person behind the blog!  Let's start off with the basics - My name is Leslie McCue and I just turned the ripe age of 22. I am now in my second year of college studying creative digital media. It is definitely not the most normal start to a new college year since we now have to work online but you have to make the most of it. So far I am loving the course and it is great to be able to trial different aspects of media without being stuck doing one thing in particular. I am still trying to find my feet in terms of what route I would like to go down on but everyday week I am slowly realising what I would like to focus on in this course.  Looking back on my first year my favourite class would have had to be photography. I didn't think I would like it as much as I did. For one of our projects we had to do a project design shot which I really enjoyed doing and was really proud of the work I produced. Here is a picture of m

Game Idea Research

  Escape room game  After receiving feedback from my game ideas, I have decided to follow the path of my 'Escape the Mansion' concept. While I was told that my other three ideas had promise, I found feedback for Escape the Mansion to be the most positive.  Although I liked the concept of the shooting game, looking back  it did seem quite far fetched for my current level of skill this semester, and while both my Cloud Surfer and Getaway ideas weren't poor, they may have also been difficult to programme as they require a high level of skill for designing the aesthetic of the game worlds.  Delving into research for Escape the Mansion, I felt the most important aspect to make it a good game was a solid theme. I would like a fun, but pseudo-horror theme in both the map-design and aesthetic, very similar to the GameCube classic Luigi's Mansion. Luigi's Mansion is a game is I was recommended about by a friend when discussing my project. Upon researching the game, I found t

This week has by far been the most difficult in working with Unity. I set out to have a big chunk of my game complete and to a playable stage but unfortunately there was a lot of walls I hit along the way which took up a lot of time. The main aim I had was to add clickable items that show clues which led to the key. I began by looking up tutorials on Unity,  this  is the first one I followed but for some reason it didn't work for me so I had to spend a while watching several Youtube videos.  To be honest at the beginning of this process I was excited to make my own game but as time goes on it is getting increasingly difficult and more frustrating to work on which is resulting in me enjoying the process less and less.  After spending over 3 and a half hours working on my game I achieved very little in comparison to what I set out to do. I managed to set out all of my objects around the room that I want to be used in the game. I also added in a safe in which the key will be held. In
