Animation Project : Project Concept Document

Project Design Document

Player Control

You control a Character in this First Person Platformer game where WASD, Shift and Space makes the player Walk, Run and Jump.

Basic Gameplay

During the game, an Antagonist Ghost chases from behind the player and the goal of the game is to Escape the Antagonist Ghost.

Sound & Effects

There will be sound effects, Footsteps and Ambient and particle effects, Smoke and Steam Clouds.

Gameplay Mechanics

As the game progresses, The Platform will get more complex making it more difficult for the player to progress. There will also be an Antagonist that will attempt to catch the player and send them back to the last checkpoint.

User Interface

The Lives will Decrease whenever the player is caught by the antagonist.

At the start of the game, the title The Barbican will appear and the game will end when the player reaches the end and escapes.

2D Side Scroller : The Final Idea

When the rubber meets the road. The Panda here represents Covid-19 During the course of recent events, it became clear to me that my time was somewhat limited in this project. As a result, I have elected to go with my first idea, the Dung beetle puzzle game. This should provide me with a decent opportunity to stretch myself in the implementation and iteration of mechanically without requiring nearly as much in terms of asset creation which for this project at least isn't one of the marking criteria anyway. The Dung Beetle Puzzle Game is changing slightly to just a puzzle game but keeping the core idea of pushing a large ball around as its main mechanic. So the player characters job is to get the ball to its goal and then make their way to the exit of the stage. This gives me a solid and simple foundation to build some hopefully cool puzzles off of without bogging me down in extra systems, which if you refer to my previous ideas was rampant. Even when stating that I have eyes...

Affine texture mapping : Subdivide Mesh

Af fine map indeed Another bug I encountered in my previous project was when using the PSX shader on large surfaces the warping became severe which was disorientating while playing. This is because the affine mapping that the shader does to emulate the affine mapping the PS1 did, approximates the positions of vertices in screen space meaning that if the vertex in question is far off-screen the approximation becomes more inaccurate meaning that if you subdivide the meshes into smaller triangles the effect is drastically diminished.

The Barbican

Enemy at the Gate The Barbican estate in London features a lot of the style of architecture that I wanted to emulate in the art and design project, so for this project, I'm going to try to create my own barbican estate using the real one as the palette. To do this I'm going to create concept art using the barbican as part of a reference sandwich to create unique architecture that should both be evocative of contemporary London, retrofuturist and contain elements meant to subtly guide the player through the area to their goal.
