Game brainstorm



 For my First Method of brainstorming ideas I used the scamper method to come up with an idea of a game. I took the general principal of Subway Surfers: A game where the player is on the run from a train warden riding a hover board Weaving in and out of train and tram tracks.

For my first idea I wanted to do a similar game except swap out the train and tram tracks with a downward sloping road and instead of a hover board the player is controlling a skate board and he has to weave in and out of cars and obstacles such as cones and road blocks in order to avoid death. the game will get progreeesivly faster the longer the game lasts until the player eventually dies. I call this Game Hill Bomber

For my second method I want to create a sporting game somehow so I took the Brainstorm approach. I Listed out some sports and the actions that occur within these sports and it looked like this

I would have liked to make a basketball game shooting balls into a hoop but with my limited experience with Unity and game design I opted for Rugby Conversion. The objective of the game is to score as many conversions possible and the kicks get progressively harder the more you score introducing variables such as wind and harder angles. The player will keep kicking until he misses 3 times. Then he will be out of lives  and it will be game over.

For my 3rd game design I did the scamper method. For this game the player is an olympic athlete and they have to jump over obstacles and hurdles running through differnt landscapes and scenes with the obstacles they have to clear changing with each scene e.g. Athletic track: Hurdle. Road: Traffic cones. Beach: beach balls. the objective is to reach as far as you can and collect as many medals possible.

 Hello my name is Daniel Jupe. I am 20 years old and in 2nd year of the Creative digital media course in TU Dublin. My Favourite part of last year was the studio photography module. I enjoyed this module the most because I learnt a lot about lighting and photography and it was the most enjoyable for me. To be entirely honest my goal for this module is just to pass. I haven't really got much interest in video games I will remain open minded going into this module but I can't imagine ill enjoy it that much so just a B or a C would do me. In My spare time when I'm not doing college work or working my job I like to go to the gym, listen to music /podcasts, go skating and surfing for the weekend whenever I get it off. I think my short term goal is to get through to 3rd year without any more repeats. in the longer run Id like to work with some company like red bull or some kind of production company to do photography and videography covering action sports, concerts and festivals.

 This week we continued the making of my game further. Continuing on from last week I was having an issue with my player whenever I tried to add a rigid body component it would fall through the terrain I fixed this by adding in a mesh collider. This week I spent my time getting the controls down on my game now whenever the game starts the board takes off and can now be navigated using the left and right arrow keys. I learnt how to do this from following previous unity tutorials.  with the player now able to navigate the course I added an if statement to the player controller script that enables the player to jump so now when the home button is pressed the player can jump in the air. I had to adjust the mass of the player in the rigid body because whenever I would jump the player would be suspended in the air for too long this would have caused problems later in the game because some obstacles in the game are meant to be cleared others are not.  So far I think I'm on track for my ga

 This week we began by making our prototypes for our games. I was fortunate enough to already have most of the assets for my game already downloaded from the unity story. most fo the assets used will be from the first set of unity tutorials all I needed to outsource was a skateboard and a backdrop of some kind here are some screenshots of what I have put together so far The only one Im struggling to find is a sutible backdrop so if anyone who's reading this knows anything about designing backdrops in unity or where to source them from please drop a comment below all help is appreciated     once I have gotten my backdrop I will then begin my coding process.
