Game Stories


     


    What is a Game Story?


From my reading and understanding, a game story is conflict that occurs or happens in a game. The storyline happens throughout


The Importance of a Game Story?


There are various reasons, why a game  designer might have a game story to their game. One of the few reasons is that other games that have reached a high level of success have some sort of storyline. Simplicity seems to be the essence with these stories too. Choices from the player can affect the story too, so it makes the player in tune with the story.


How a classical story works is that, you have a protagonist, being the hero and that characters world has been disrupted by an incident that has happened. An example this would be Grand Theft Auto "Vice City. Then what usually entails next is that a gap opens up in the characters life that happened previously. The character tries the convectional way of handling his or hers problem, however that leads him into failure . The character in the game has to take major risks in the game to try and solve the problem, but along the way the character has obstacles that try to block him along way. 

Around this point of the storyline there usually is reversal, meaning that the character in the game will discover something new that he or she did not know before. This in turn will then open up another gap in the game, and after the going through the second gap there might be another gap that opens up. In this gap the Character will have to take the biggest gap of all , but usually this gap will lead the character to an orderly life.




All in all, I think that the readings were good and really learned a lot why a game might be influenced to add a storyline into their game.

deuces ✌

It was fun to participate in them even though I always felt embarrassed to talk present the work we created in them. I think that my achievement was getting through the modules and passing them and being able to adapt myself to the virtual world when Covid 19 came. Now being in year 2 I think the I should aim higher in terms of grades and quality of work because I know more now. My goal for this module is to see if I can learn the skills well enough to make a game, and if I can achieve that would me satisfied, because it would be something I have never did before and that would be a win for me.

Prototype

  Hi Guys This is my prototype to Gario the game, what I found difficult creating the game was trying to make the game 3D. Because basing the game on other games that are 2D, I suppose this was always going to be a slight problem. That being said I looked into it a bit more into it If I could make a 2D game into a 3D game. The research came out that you could do it. I even found one YouTube video saying that you could do that and was giving instructions on how you could do it.  The first thing I did was opened up unity and then set the name of this particular project to prototype. I also changed the dimension of the game to 2D, after that I then proceeded to change the background in unity to black . The next thing I did was I made a file called Scripts so it would be easier to save later stuff what I needed to put in. In that I made C # Script, which I called PlayerController. Before working in the script I decided to make a player. I just right clicked and then clicked into into 2D th

Game Research

     The game idea I am going to base my research on is agar, which is a game I want to base my game on. I think if I can pull it off, It would be such a fun game to create and make in the end. The game will be addictive, However if I find that is too hard to make I can still go back to the brainstorms I had and use One of them. Game Mechanics: The mechanics of my game should allow you to grow bigger every time that you eat something or get close to something that you touch and when you get touched or get eaten, you will start again from the beginning as a small object. This will in turn affect your score too. The bigger you get will affect how big your score as well. The bigger you get the more points you will get as you grow bigger and bigger. I would like my game to place in empty land. There wont have to be any obstacles as such but the actual items that are playing the game. I would like the game to be crowded so it makes it hard, as once the thing gets bigger it gets harder to pl
