Vision Statment





For this weeks blog we had to create as vision statment. A vision statement is pretty much a formal pitch as to what your game is about. You would usually present this type of documentation to the company you work for and then they'll pretty much give you the go ahead or tell you to bin the idea. A Vision statement is also off value to the designers. It eliminates uncertintay and should provide them with the answers to any questions they may have.


Vision Statement:

 

Title: Down Hill skate – Down Hill adreanline Rushing skateboard simulation- for iphone andriod/ miningame.

 

Description:

The game is simple you are a skateboard rider from the San franciisco bay area who speeds down hills at death defying speeds in your spare time for the fun of it. 


The player has to navigate his way down hill swerving in and put of cars and avoiding obstacles such as grains and cones. The objective of the game is to collect as many coins/ tokens as possible without getting hit. The Game becomes more intense the longer it goes on getting faster and faster meaning the reactions of you the player need to become quicker as the game goes on. There is no completion of this game. The game is more designed as a competitive game against friends and against yourself. In later online versions of the game I would like for there to be leaderboards locally amongst friends and globally where the best players battle to hold the top score.


Key Features

·      Skateboard 

·      Reaction speed 

·      Adrenaline 

·      Suburban.

 

Genre: Adventure, Action,  Skate simulation.

 

Platforms: The game will be suitable for mini web game websites such as Mini clip and mobile devices. 

Market Analysis: Down Hill Skate will cater to the constantly growing market of mobile mini games. Ever since mini games have been released on mobile devices there has always been a huge market. In the beginning the barrier to entry was small with only mini games like Snake and suduko dominating the market but with the release of smart phones the industry quickly skyrocketed and beccame saturated but still there is a low barrier to entry if you have the tools anyone can join the market. You will just need something to set yourself apart from other competitors in order to run a successful mini game.

    Hi Daniel Hope you are doing well!
    I just read your game vision statement I and I really like your game idea about a skateboard rider that goes down the hill in San Francisco I think its a great idea to experiment with and create something that you will enjoy to play.I like the way you everything broken into the paragraphs which makes it very clear and easy to understand.I also think that it will be great if you added skins or level I think that will make your game a lot more enjoyable for people.Overall great game and I am looking forward to see your game in action.And best of luck in creating your game and college!!!

 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.
