Futuristic Innovations/ Adobe animate session 1



1. Bio-organic Prosthetic technology - with advancements in cell and tissue cloning, such as now being to replicate certain organs, there may be a possibility one day of creating prosthetic limbs for amputees by creating one using their own DNA, this could also be used for organ transplants for the hearts and kidneys too.

2.  'self-healing' concrete

In the future, it may be possible to build structures out of regenerating bacteria, that automatically repairs itself over time and maintains structural integrity. It would also be economically and environmentally viable long term.

3. Simulating other senses in Virtual Reality - prototypes for headsets that create scents for the wearer reportedly exist, smells are created by inserting 8 liquid cartidges and mixing the scents in different capacities to create possibly hundreds of different smells.

There are also gloves which simulate grip and firmness of objects when you hold them such as with tighter resistance the more that you squeeze an object


Thoughts on brief for animated poster: Because it is also doubled up as a poster as well as being an animation, it would make sense for there to be many different animated elements on a fairly short cycle, maybe make it loop seamlessly, interaction would be fairly simple to implement, I believe, perhaps when the mouse hover over text it could enlarge the text and change its colour to show it is being highlighted.

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

Image
          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

First time on illustrator

Image
  Today I tried using adobe illustrator for the first time, I thought that I would have had an edge because of my prior knowledge with Photoshop however it is entirely different aside from aspects such as filters. I struggled using the pen at first as I had managed to completely avoid using it for my whole time using Photoshop after that it was simple but I still feel as if I have a lot to learn but as for basics I feel I am at grips with them. It was also difficult having to use the pen to cut out an object for example instead of using a background eraser or soemthing similar.
