Major risks in testing

In the testing of a game you will find there is risks like if the target audience that the game is aimed for 
does not suit them. Sometimes the game could be missing the excitement , so the people do not like it.
Others thing the game could be lacking is if it is not fast paced, competitive or even if its not stand out compared to other games. The features aren't able to work, so broken features, poor sound etc.

out for the graphics and how the game audio is like.

will be required.

They happen just at random. There are three different types of Ad Hoc testing Pair Testing, Buddy 
Testing and Monkey Testing.

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
