Hi all!
Today I finally decided what game idea I will proceed with. Getting my feedback from my lecturer I am happy to say I will go with my first idea, which is the training shooting game. By the way if you haven't read that post heres the link to the blog post.
Getting feedback on my game ideas the two ideas I was trying to choose between were the car game and the shooting game. Doing research on game design for my other assignments and thinking about the game made me realise that the car game isn't what I'm trying to achieve as that game doesn't exactly have a goal.
Thinking about the shooting game, I started to visualise what I want the game to look like. Firstly, I want the game to have different difficulty levels. I also want, if possible to have 2 or 3 gun choices to choose from. If thats too hard to do I'd like to have the option of the gun setting to choose between automatic or single shot. Finally, I would like to have a window at the top side of the screen that shows your target count.
I learn easier by visuals and I wanted to have a better understanding of how the mechanics of a FPS (First Person Shooter) game work. Doing research, I came across this tutorial made by @JimmyVegas. Jimmy shows you how to create an FPS game step by step. Watching his tutorials helped me understand how to create the world, a crosshair and so on. I was shocked seeing how much effort goes into sound and visual effects. The finish game (by Jimmy Vegas) isn't what I want to create as this is a zombie game. This is how Jimmy's finished game looks like!
The further I look into creating this game the more exciting I am to begin!
This is the link to the playlist of the tutorials I had a look through.
I can't wait to begin my journey in creating a my OWN game!
I will see you guys the next time,
Denis.
Hi Denis, it's Aoibhe. Loved your game idea research blog post! Glad the feedback from Shaun helped you, it helped me too. I love your idea of a training shooting game. Sounds like a fun game & one that I would not be good at at all ! I like the idea of you giving players a number of different gun choice. Always good to give people options. I wish you the best of luck with your project & look forward to seeing your game! Good luck, Aoibhe.
ReplyDeleteHey Danis
ReplyDeleteReally like your idea, It's very different compared to what most people are doing. I think the idea of giving the player gun options is great and also like how you plan to have a game progression.
I was wondering if you considered keeping the game on one level and giving the player some aims to achieve in that one level. and also what if you could implement something to each gun like something that can be used for for specific situation like a sniper gun which was allow the player to kill from a far distance.
