Photoshop Animation 1


 









Over this week I have come to grips with using video animation in Photoshop, using cycles as a starting point. Animation beyond stretching and distorting as with the ball animation, the puppet-warp tool is required for articulation of limbs. The most difficult part of animating is photoshop is doing everything in order and considering every step without doing anything out of order such as making sure each frame is spaced correctly, layers don't overlap etc. The looping on my third animation was difficult because the cliffs moved too fast for the figure.

Storytelling and Gaming 3

I read this article today which covered some conventions of Text Based adventure games and one aspect which stuck out to me was the 'Story' vs. 'Scenario' idea where when making a text based adventure game, rather than making some grand epic about a fully developed world it can be a small scenario with lower stakes and less exposition to better immerse a player.   https://medium.com/@model_train/text-adventure-game-design-in-2020-608528ac8bda I also developed my idea for a story more so without the specifics as of yet. It will be about a Grave Robber who gets captured by Skeletons and has to escape the winding and perilous crypt. I think the difficulty will be mapping out the space and getting to grips with coding the scenarios with variables and such. Coming from a non-coding background, I think this'll be challenging Bibliography: Ainsley, C. (2020) Text adventure game design in 2020 , Medium .

Independent Project #9

          These Screenshots contain all my progress for this week, I created an ammo box (The Blue Cube) which is based on the model/ code I used for the Health Item just retextured and set to change the value of ReserveAmmo Variable rather than PlayerHealth, I also created an enemy spawner (Dinosaur head icon) - it is essentially an invisible object that just places down enemies on a delay - fairly simple but is all I think I can really do with the short amount of development time remaining, especially as I'm not adding individual wave numbers, then there is the player barrier which you can purchase using points from killing Gibbies, so far I have only added the ability for a widget to appear asking if you wanmt to purchase and place the barrier but it is not yet functional - I will need to have it so it first checks if you have enough points and then subtracts however much the barrier costs as they will have differing sizes and costs, I will hopefuly work out the blueprint for th

Independent Project #5 Inspirations

 This blog will be going over some of my inspirations for 'Invasion of the Gibbies' and what informed my creative decisions when it comes to this game/project overall. ( Dani, 2021) Muck Muck as an inspiration is very surface level, only because of the game's aesthetic and that the Gibby model will be human shaped with googly eyes, other than that and the fact that this game is also first person that is where the similarities end entirely. I feel a style to this will give me adequate time to work on the game's mechanics as they should take precedent. (EPIC GAMES, 2013) (EPIC GAMES, 2013) Gears of War: Judgement Gears of War: Judgement and the Gears of War series as a whole were big inspirations for the gameplay of Invasion of the Gibbies because not only is it an Unreal Engine creation but also because of its horde mode which was one of the first big games to give these wave-based high-score arcade style modes a go in shooters  as a resurgence in 2008 with Gears of War
