Building Alliances - Start of Group Project

 

First Week of Building Alliance :

 Our Project for Building Alliance is working in a group to create a group pitch with an options on 3 separate briefs based on different topics and we have to try and turn that topic into a style of game concept and create different types of assets such as 2D final concept pieces or 3D Models of Enemies and Weaponry and with this being a group project whilst we all have to contribute our own weight to the games design , we have each been given a lead role in our group.

Here are the 3 Briefs that we are given to choose from :

After looking each of the briefs , as a group we decided to work on the Impact of Microplastics on the Human Food Chain Brief

Our Game Studios Title : Wellow Studios

Our Roles :

Jacob : Director

Louie : 3D Lead

Sean : 2D Lead

Archie : Research Lead 

With the roles being decided , we then worked on creating our NDAS , Contract of Engagement & Environmental Statement and signing them all as a group as it is a way to stay to the professional theme that we should be doing and after finishing these forms we created a group One Drive and organised it all to work for everyone.

Industry Practice - Visual Novels Research

 

Visual Novel Research

With this being the first blog during this new project , We looked into 3 different games on a site called itch.io looking at different visual novel style games which would later be where we would upload our final game for this project by the end of the year.

When I Played this game it was shown to be made with a scratchy art style to showcase the creepiness of the creatures design and the creature would slowly would be built up on the different options you would end up choosing

Do Not Take This Cat Home

Don't take this cat home was interesting as it follows sort of along the lines of games like Doki Doki as it seems perfectly fun at first but after certain events and options the game slowly twists and breaks with disturbing options like the 2nd image shown here.

Adventures with Anxiety

Adventures with Anxiety was quite simplistic in its design but has added the option of having anxiety itself be a creature that follows the player and the way the game works is having anxiety try and protect the human but it never works and it ends up lowering the bar of the player until that scenario is finished.

 Introduction

 Hiya my names Louie 

 Interests

 - Kirby

 - Yu gi oh

 - Minecraft

 - Cosplay 

 - Titanfall 2

I chose games art as the course to study as a way to develop the style of art I was working towards and developing the skills i had during college to work on my 3D modelling as its something that lets me design different weapons from Kirby in attempted different styles which was quite fun to do overtime.

Probably after Uni , I want to work towards either starting working towards working in a indie games company or slowly work my ways up to working in a higher Company.

Fun lil fact about myself : I just love to 100% the Kirby Games and spent too much on kirby things
