City in a City – Practice based Research Game Project Document. v0.3

This document is a shared document between Elfi and Milosz, so it will be uploaded on both of our blogs, and while it was written by me (Milosz), I did use some of Elfi’s work and input to better represent the game idea. Project Name: City in a City ABSTRACT: City in a City (working……

Previous Themes and Research

I just realised I haven’t written anything on this blog about the previous phases of the module (other than the first week’s post), so I will do a summary of the themes I looked at and the research that went into them. After the first week, we were meant to pick 4 themes, so I……

Puzzle Mechanics

Since one of my roles in the group was to design puzzles, I started off by researching puzzle design. I’ve mentioned some videos I watched here, but I also read a few forums online. I think the most helpful site with this research was Reddit, with very in-depth topics and comments, such as this one……

Unity Cel-Shading

Since we have decided to use Cel-Shading in our game I had to find out if I can actually do it in Unity. Firstly, I want to explain what cel-shading is. Cel-shading is a rendering technique that uses especially designed shaders to make a 3D model appear flat by using less shading colours than normal,……

Useful Videos

This post is mainly about what videos I watched over the Christmas break (and shortly after) as research. I’ve done a lot of that, since the conditions to work back at my parents’ house aren’t great, but I still tried to make the most of it by watching talks, presentations, tutorials etc. I tried to……

Group Roles

The group roles for the project were pretty simple to point out, as Elfi and I both know our strengths. I will write a short sentence or two explaining why we assigned each role to the person. Concept – Elfi Elfi’s way better at drawing than I am, and also it’s mostly her game idea……

Post-break meeting

I had a meeting today with Adam, he gave me some useful pointers and advice, and motivated me to try a bit harder with this semester. I’ve been having a hard time staying motivated pretty much all of the first semester, which I think really shows in my work, so I’m not very proud of……

Grouping up!

After our Phase 3 presentations, we were meant to decide what projects we want to work on. I felt that my ideas weren’t very solid, they were still quite vague, so I decided to group up with Elfi. I think my skill-set will work with Elfi’s quite well, as I know the technical side of……
