Project Research

In this blog, I will talk about all the research I did since we got this assignment. Since my role was coding, I looked at different Adobe Animate tutorials so I can understand how to use it. I also looked at different kids games and take some inspiration from it. When I was looking at kids games I looked at educational games and other games from the age of 4-6 years old. I looked for games that were maths and games on the iPad, since we want a maths game and for iPad.

These were the games I found

The games on the iPad were a mix of drag and drop and tap/click while the games on PC were tap/click.

Drag and Drop;
PlayKids (iPad)
The tutorials I watched how to get it to go to one scene to another since I couldn't get it to do that I got it to go one frame to another. I watched different tutorials based on this and how to create buttons in Adobe Animate. Most of them were the same method, it was difficult to follow some of the videos because it was the latest Adobe Animate. So when I am looking for videos I looked at the latest year, any videos that were before 2016. Once I got the understanding of how to create buttons I just repeat the method and add effects on the buttons that were already there on Adobe Animate. 

To add the effect on the buttons I just need to put out which effects I would like to use and click apply. 




Other than looking at different tutorials and kids games, I researched different fonts that would match our game and genre but the logo for this game is still a working process. With the colours that were used for the illustrations on the main page, Esmee and I looked at the different colours for the buttons that would stand out.

Colours for the button;
Yellow before you click on it and
Orange when hovered over.

    Hey Nhu:)) You're doing really good work within the group for Tiny Farm. Good job on the game design document by the way you did a lot of informative research. From the coding aspect of things are you finding it difficult or do you feel that you need more people to help in that area? The final game design document turned out really well I think our group is progressing at a great speed! Everything is going well in the art department it's good that we're giving each other a hand with everything when needed! Best of luck in the coding department I'd offer to help there but we both know I cannot code:)

Game GDD

The articles I read was  Design Considerations  by Greg Aleknevicus,  Prototying  and  Generating Ideas . The articles talks about what a publishers can do to improve a game that does involve spending money on that maybe be worth it. The articles basically tells us that it is important to show the designers where the game is heading. They are a rough example of what the designer is planning on doing with their game to look like and it's about getting the main idea of the game across. Prototypes are used to test something out, so in this case the prototype is to test out the gameplay. Testing the game will give the designer ideas on what needs to be added or take away from the game. When designing games we must come up with the idea. It can be a basic concept idea and not fully formed.  Designing a game, we need to know what rules or system, materials , narrative and market research and ask yourself these questions What game rules led to when test...

Unity Free Tutorials

For now on unity tutorials will be about what I am going to add in for my game. Watching tutorials video will help me create the game I want to make.  I already have a problem with my menu page. I follow everything from the video but it says I have an error. This is one of the reasons why I don't want to become a game designer.  I don't like coding, it just confusing and I don't really get what is going on but hopefully, over time I know the basic coding. The video below, I had a problem adding in the TextMesh Pro. TextMesh Pro is just making the text clearer. Since I am having a problem with add that in I decided to leave it out. Other than that, the tutorial helped. This was another tutorial video I watched.

Multimedia Project Presentation

Today we presented our game 'Tiny Farm' to our year and we got the chance to look at all the other game that was made for this module. The first game I saw was Rob's game 'Monster Flip'. His game was a puzzle game, it has three different levels. when you click on one of the puzzle pieces it will rotate. You have to click the piece until it is in the right position. After you finished the level you can go back to the menu page and click on the next level. I like that the game is for kids who have autism. I enjoy playing this game because it was simple and easy to play. The next game I saw was Darragh's game 'Alien Twine Game'. His game was a story adventure game. It tells a story and you get to choose which option you would like to pick. Each option will bring you to a certain route, it depends on what and which option you pick. I enjoy playing this game because it was fun and interesting to see where you will end up at the end of the story. Battle ...
