Game Elements

 For this blog post I have decided to carry out a critical analysis on one of the few games I have experience with. The Fifa Series.

Players: I firstly would describe Fifa as a Head to head type of play. In the game players can battle each other or against the system in a simulated game of football. They compete against each other for valuables such as in game credits, new players to add to their team or simply just for entertainment.

Objective: The game Fifa has multiple objectives: Firstly Territorial whilst playing a match against an opponent the players duel it out chasing a virtual ball around the field they have to try and score in the oppositions net and also defeat their own area also.

Collection: Whilst playing online players earn virtual money in the form of coins when they win a game. this money can build up to be spent on packs and other things that will help the progression of their team and make them stronger.

Build: Build and collection I think go hand in hand in a lot of cases The point of collection without reward seems pointless so this is where build comes into play. Players build their teams by adding new players, coaches , jerseys and many other variables to make their team as highly ranked and strong as it can be.

The Rules for Fifa are quite simple. 

(Operational)

- Players : 2-4

-Setup: The players will play together/ or head to head to defeat their opponent in a game of football.

-Progression: pass the ball and make your way upfield then eventually take a shot for goal.

-Resolution: The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.

Resource management: at the start of the fifa game as soon as you start playing you have minimal resources. in other words a bad team. To improve your resources throughout the game you have to start winning and the more you win the greater the resources but also the harder it gets.

The Game state and information in Fifa I believe to be quite open. the player is able to see a lot of things he can do within the game but is not allowed to do all of these things until he's reached a certain level within the game.

Sequencing: Fifa Is a real time game. both players are live at all time and their reactions and responses to the game have immediate consequences.

Player  interaction within Fifa is very open. Players have the opportunity to speak with each other through a headset here they can discuss anything at all. Trade: players have options to trade players from team to team with other players or even offer a player as a wager to a game.

There isn't much of a backstory to this game. The team given to the player at the start of the games is of relatively low quality it is then the players job to progress their team and make it as good / highly ranked as 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.
