Degree Project Inspirations: James Turrell

James Turrell

 


 
Turrell, J. (1992). Space that sees. Sculpture/ Installation


Today Steve introduced me to this Artist, James Turrell, during my tutorial. After comparing my opening level to one of his pieces I really cannot unsee it. I may use some of his other works as inspiration for levels just because of how similar it is already to the aesthetic that I'm going with.

Degree Project Digital Media Analysis

  Today we were shown a process of analysing Media to better understand the why and how of it all. Here are two examples, one was of my own choice, the other a given example. Both are very different but the framework can be used to analyse both. My choice: Gears of War, EPIC Games   https://www.xbox.com/en-US/play/games/gears-of-war-ultimate-edition/BQT21VXFS52F   (2006, 2017) 1. What type of media is it? A 3rd-Person cover Shooter developed primarily for Xbox 360 2. What initial promise/s does it give? A single/ two player set of detailed levels full of set pieces and various encounters as well as a 6V6 online multiplayer mode with various arenas and characters to play with 3. What is its purpose & function? A 3rd person shooter game designed to always be played with others, with or against. 4. What are its unique/unexpected qualities & ideas? One team will always play as subterranean monsters 'Locust' one team will always play as humans. On the surface it is mad...

Professional Practices 4

    Here are all of my current RA Project Deliverables with outlined text, in the correct document formats (hopefully) with bleeds and borders and the vectors imported correctly and all the other stuff which is needed for each one. I have done roughly a third of the Final deliverables over the past two weeks and that was only from a few hours here and there, so I think completing this project to an extent that I am happy with before the deadline will be possible over christmas, depending on what more I complete within the next two weeks. I think my inital struggle and apprehension of this project was my unfamiliarity with the intricacies of Illlustrator down so the issues I had with the Font, Editing Vectors in the documents, outlining text etc. and also not having a final design down which i was confident in such as with the size of elements and particularly the colour of text and graphics too. Initially, it was all Black text but after some advice I changed it to mainly Yell...

Degree Project: Gameplay Test Footage

Image
  Here is some Test Footage of my level so far. After a few weeks, I finally got the main platform types (Green on a timer, Blue and orange switching) working, as such I rushed to make a the first level as a test level of sorts to see how well platforming actually performs now I have it coded in. Rather than being part of the level, the platforms are separate objects that exist contained outside of the level as an actor as its own "object" so they all must be moved simultaneously if being adjusted in the level. Adjusting 1 Platform of the collection of 60+ must be done within the object itself. This is the blueprint actor that contains every single Blue/ Orange Platform within the level. First, the 3 connected separately at the beginning enable the 'E' Key to be pressed in the context of the Blueprint, which then activates a "Looping Multigate" Node which causes the sets of platforms to infinitely be able to switch states when the 'E' is pressed. The...
