Today we started off by discussing what information we needed to put in our design specification in order to meet the criteria for the task and assignment. The information that needed to be included was explaining the purpose of the game in detail, talk about the amount of levels and a brief story line about the game. I understood this and made sure the necessary information was included when I had finished the design specification.
I then moved on to writing and drawing up the storyboard for my game which I will begin to create soon. I drew all of the assets I wished to include in the game and then wrote some bullet points of information about each asset and what kind of job they would do in the final version of the game. I felt I did quite well at this task because I included lots of information about each of the assets but I did not draw them very well but then we are not marked down for drawing. I managed to finish the storyboard and all I have to do is scan it and then add it on to the design specification.
I feel I may need some help in the near future particularly when it comes to making my game. I do not have nay experience with Game Maker but hopefully tutorials can help although that has to depend on the quality of writing and instructions within the tutorial. I hope to begin creating my game on Thursday or maybe at the latest Friday depending on how quickly I can get the Pseudo code and scanning of my storyboard done.
Overall today was a good day as I worked very hard on my storyboard to make sure it was to the best of my ability and I received a Christmas card from a fellow student which was drawn to perfection and made my drawing look like a toddlers joking aside it was a very nice gesture from Danny. The negative of today was that I still have work form the Software Design unit to hand in but I need to concentrate on this unit so I will probably have to do the previous work at home.
