Animate 9



Today, I have created nearly completed 4 more scenes, the title and Scenes 3, 4 and 5.

Overall I am happy with the title and scene 3 but my issue with 4 is that there is not enough time to read the text on the Phone screens on the first loop of the animation for the scene. The first reason is that I believe the animation is too fast and without enough frames. The second reason is the amount of textboxes which the viewer will need to read. As of now there is only what is on the Phone Screen and what the Robot is saying but there may also be the narration text which still needs to be added to each scene, but that will be done after each animation is complete. For the two Final scenes that i am yet to animate, I will have the robot being destroyed by the bears with Baseball bats and then for the final scene it will be the data stealing robot in pieces on the floor.

The title graphic itself was made in photoshop instead of Adobe Animate or Illustrator as I wanted to use a stroke layer on the text to make it stand out againt the background, which to my knowledge is not available in Animate. At first I experimented with using 3 different fonts and more cartoonish fonts, neither worked out so I decided to just use the sam font in different colours as to not look too jarring

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.
