Alpha

The game is slowly getting to where I want it to go but I am still having a problem with making the player collect the animal and instant death when hitting the "zookeeper"

When I add in the codes to make the player collecting the animal it wouldn't work but it collecting the "key" works if you go over it and makes a ding sound so I know its working. Either today or tomorrow I will work on it again and see if it will work. Hopefully, it works.

The instant death still wouldn't work for me, the "zookeeper" either doesn't move or it goes off the floor.

I added in more animals and zookeeper to make the game more interesting. I didn't want to have too many levels since it only for a project and I'm not making a real game for everyone in the world to play. So I'm thinking of having at least 3-4 levels.

I am also thinking of having an item that makes you go faster but I don't think that's possible for me to do since I can't even get the player to collect the animals in the cage.


What my game look so far.

    Hey Nhu! Wow your game looks amazing! It's really coming together nicely.I like the colour scheme and the general aesthetics of your game. Your screenshots really show off your game nicely. It seems you have really thought out your game clearly and know where your going. It seems like you have the basics of your game down now, all you have to do is build on that now. You have the hard part of the game development process done now, now you can have fun and relax a bit! I agree with you, I think 3-4 levels is plenty. This will give the player the feel for the game. I think that's all thats really being asked of us. Well done, looking forward to seeing the finished product!

    Hey Nhu, Your game looks really nice and its clear you have put time and effort into it. I see you have a lot of scripts, don't know how you got them all working. I have done like 2 and I keep getting error's here and there which take forever to try and fix and sometimes I might not be able to fix it so I have to change something about my game. 3-4 levels sounds like a good idea. I think you can get the point across in that many levels that you know the basics of how to make a game.

    Hi Nhu
    Your game looks awesome and your work is definitely showing. I really like the way you make your animals into shapes because weirdly it works! They add a fun aspect into the whole colourful zoo environment. I'm glad to see that you have the basics of your game done and you can focus on building up from that. I know how frustrating the small parts are when they don't work the way we want them to, like you've mentioned that the player collecting the animals or the instant death features not working. You should definitely keep on trying in fixing these issues.
    Since you have the basic's of your game complete you can have fun with making your different levels. I think that 3 to 4 levels are a really good amount for your game.
    So far your game is looking great so keep up the good work! I'm looking forward to see the end result!!

    Hey Nhu, the game looks really cute so far! It looks really retro which I love, gives a nostalgic effect! It must be frustrating for the code not to work, when you do get it to work I'll be looking forward to seeing what its like when it's functioning so that the zoo keeper could have instant death!, If you ever plan to expand the game onto further levels, a thing that you could do to make it more difficult as the level goes on could be a time limit! it'll give you more options to expand the levels as you could have both options to make more difficult levels. Hopefully when you sort the instant death you could do the item that makes it faster, something like a net would be cool as it would co-ordinate with the fact hes a zoo keeper, Good luck with the rest of your game!

INTRODUCTION

ABOUT ME My name is Nhu Thai. I am really shy but after you know me you will probably regret knowing me. I love meme, I mean who doesn't? I am the oldest and I have 2 annoying brothers and one told me to write that he's a good singer...he thinks he's Beyonce... The best module I took from last year was probably web development because I like doing the coding but I also hate it at the same time. I understood it because I took down notes and ask the lecturer and classmates for help. When I saw that web development was one of my highest grade I was shocked and happy.  Career wise... I don’t really know exactly what I want to do. I would like to go and do something that involves media but I still don’t know if I want it for the long term yet. If I am doing it for the long term, I would like to go to graphic design or photography or website design.  Over the summer, I went to Disneyland Paris again. I only went because my little cousins wanted to go and I thought i...

Game Vision Statement

Zoobe is what the name for the puzzle and adventure game I want to design.  It is a game where you are an animal, in a shape of a box and trying to escape from the zoo without getting caught but the humans or traps. The background story for this game is that one night the animal decided that they want to get away and out of the zoo and be free. Some nights after, one of the animal's gate was left unlock and left their "home" behind them. Since all the animals wanted to be free and actually go back to the jungle. The animal that escape went to get the key for the gate, with the help of other animals trying to get the zoo keeper drop the key to all the gates. To play this game, you are the animal who's gate was left unlock and have to get the key to open the other gates for the animal. The animal can't move by itself so you have to move them yourself without getting caught by the zookeeper or traps. To free the animal you either have to move them to the box that...

Game Design

After reading about what is a game and what we should look in when making a game, I found three different website based on the same ideas but different information. 5 Game Elements That Create Effective Learning Games  by Arunima Majumdar Game Design, An Introduction  by Jill Duffy What are game-elements? (PacMan as reference)  by Ellis The first article I read gave me some game mechanics that I should considered when making a game for our assignment. Arunima talks about: Conflict ; have some sort of challenges for the player to overcome. It could be a physical obstacle, combat with another player or a puzzle that has to be solved. A sense of collaborative learning can be built in with a challenge that all the player must work together to overcome. Strategy and chance; with strategy-based games they put a lot of control into the players' decisions they can make that affect game okay or their odds of achieving the goal. Also, it based on the chance the play...
