Homework 15

Assigned: Fri. Nov. 7, 2014

Due: Fri. Nov. 14, 2014

In homework 12, you were asked to:

"present in the "notes" document, a list of tasks that must be accomplished by the different members of the team in order to take the game to a state that is "playable". Tasks can relate to esthetics, mechanics, story, interface, play testing, python, etc.

For each task, assign one or more people, and a time frame in which the task is expected to be completed. Each person in the team is to state that they have seen the list and approve of it."

---------------------

Please report for this homework on the result for each task that you took on for your team's project. Assess the degree of completion, whether your timeframes were realistic, what you have accomplished, how your task was incorporated into the game. You will be graded according to the degree with which your task was accomplished, and whether you self-assessed realistically. If you tried to accomplish the task but there were roadblocks that you and your team worked on, that will be viewed in a positive light. Explain any issues you had (if any).

I worked on Art/Aesthetics/ Story/ plus some python.

I believed the degree of competition I achieved in my assignments has been a 100 percent. To begin with the poster was done in time allowing the class to give me feedback for later changes. I then apply the changes updating a new version which I believed is now stronger than before. I created a game Hud/score system with a health bar that is being placed in the new version of the game. 

In addition to that, I completely wrote the game document by placing material that was distilled from previous homework’s and from my team notes document. The game document possess links, images and videos that help and will continue helping my team develop the game.

I don’t feel that I hit any road blocks in the process of accomplishing my duties as I try not assigning the impossible to myself and my teammates. In addition to this and to make sure everything would go as planned, I allocated enough time for me and my teammates to complete the tasks. The only issue I had was from one of my teammates not doing his assignments, but for reasons of discretion I won’t mention his name, however I knew this was going to happen and I end up finishing his assignment myself, carrying my team and moving forward with positive attitude.

Homework 14: Indirect Control

Assigned: October 31, 2014
Due: November 7, 2014

For this project, please describe the various ways that your game addresses the issue of indirect control. What elements of your game (characters, interface, scenery, art) contribute to the indirect (or direct) control of the player. The book discusses five categories of indirect control. Please address them, and add any other forms of indirect control that may apply to your game.

Story and Game Structures can be Artfully Merged with Indirect Control:

The Feeling of Freedom

Indirect Control Method #1: Constraints, giving an answerer to freedom of choice, would definitely play a big part of our game. For once the choosing between one path to the left or right can lead to a successful and gratifying ending. The second freedom would be in the form of choosing potions that could save the player’s life in any defining moment of risk.

Ultimately players could choose from different combinations!!

Indirect Control Method #2: Goals, design goals is a good reason to have players care about your game. If a player has two doors they can go through, don’t really knowing which one leads to a secret area, they would enter anyway giving them a random chance to find more items and more secrets even if the second door leads to the same place than the first door at the end.

Indirect Control Method #3: Interface, something else to consider about the interface is indirect

control because players want interfaces to be transparent, they don’t really think about the interface, if they can help it. Limiting the players to a single activity due to a simple choice of controls is partly about who a player will relate to, but it is also about implicitly limiting the player’s options. In Purgatory that player would have the standard w,a,s,d which is been proven to give players plenty of choices as well as combining a python script for mouse look to give a convincing look around the avatar.

Indirect Control Method #4: Visual Design, having a controlling effect on were the audience would look in visual design is a very powerful weapon. As an art student, we are thought to design keeping a clear and readable image of the focal point, the most important element in the narrative. This can be achieve by making the focal point brighter in color than the rest of the elements.

Indirect Control Method #5: Characters, using your storytelling ability to make the player actually care about the characters, that is willingly wanting to obey them, protect them, help them, or destroy them is what suddenly can generate an excellent tool to control what the player will and will not try to do.

Indirect Control Method #6: Music, designers think of adding music to a game, they usually think of the

mood they want to create, and the atmosphere of the game. But music can also have a significant effect on what players do. After listening to the feedback given in class on game critique day, my team and I decided to have the avatar heart rate increase as well as the intensity and pace of the music to influence the player’s reaction and fear of the game. This would be an attempt to make the game immersive and scarier.

My contributions to my team game during the past 7-10 days. Has been to design and create the game poster from scratch, writing the game document, communicating with my team via email as well as face to face meetings to delegate duties in order to meet the deadlines.

Updated new poster for Purgatory. I spend a few days integrating the various ideas given in class as feedback to improve the illustration that would give life to the concept of this first person interactive horror game.

 Minutes after she died, Sara is sent to Purgatory where she most escape and find her way into heaven. In Purgatory the suffering that poor souls have to experience in order to be completely purified, is a necessary test in order to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. 

The game takes place in a fully accessible and interactive labyrinth. In order to progress, the player must ensure its immediate well-being is intact while avoiding supernatural creatures that lurk in the dark. The goal is to collect prayers scattered across the labyrinth along with other items such as potions that would enhance the player’s powers allowing Sara to find the exit. However, be careful to encounter demons as this can send you straight to Hell.

Purgatory is a single-player exploration horror game that delivers an immerse experience, capturing the player’s minds with its astounding visual depth and encompassing music.

New improvements in Player Health Bar reacting to enemies and
enemies health bar affected by player.

What I’ve you done this week for my team is create a game Hud to display the characters Heath along with a score system that can visual reference a beating heart. I created this Hud from scratch using Photoshop to draw the elements and Blender to make the elements interactive.

HW 11 

1) Describe the user interface in your game The user interface would be created to display useful information to the player in game via a HUD2) What role will the interface play in your game?It will allow the user to know how much Health / lives possibly Time Weapons and magic potions are available.3) Intuitive interfaces give a feeling of control. How easy (or hard) is your interface to master?We are designing the interface to be as intuitive and simple to master as possible. It requires little interaction with the player. A circular bar displays health and this is visually indicated by a beating heart every time a recovery item is taken.4) Will your players have a strong influence over the outcome of the game? Please describe? If not, how can you change this?The game is design to allow the player to decide among a series of choices depending on what path is taken in the maze. Some areas would lead to avoid monsters, while others to run into them directly, which at that point defines which type of player you choose to be.5) Players like to feel powerful. Do the players of your game feel powerful? How could this be improved?In the game we will include power-ups that will temporarily grant advantageous skills, such as running faster or walking through walls.6) What does the player pick up and touch? The first item the player will be able to pick up when first starting the game is a lamp to see in the dark. Items such as magical potions will amplify the player’s powers and disappear entering an inventory for later use.7) Does the interface map to actions in the world? How?When the player’s life is in danger, its heart located next to the health indicator will beat faster.8) How does your interface let the player see, hear and touch the world of the game? Could this be improved in order to make the game world more real to the player's imagination?Simply by mirroring the game character to the player's own reactions. The sounds of creatures in the maze, along with a sensitivity to nearby enemies triggering a fasting beating heart will induce the player’s own heart rate to increase. Other elements such as dark or low illuminated areas will tonally set the mood for a immerse experience that will theoretically leave the player in fear increasing the players sensitivity at every step.9) The idea interface is invisible to the player. Does your interface cater to the players desires? What are these desires?We believe that making a successful interface is a very important part of the games success and it needs to be as unified to the game style as possible. It will be on screen all the times, but with a transparency or opacity layers so the player won’t get distracted by it.10) Can your interface be used without the players thinking? Is it natural?Yes, we are designing the interface to be as simple as possible. By allowing the players to have an inventory system to store and collect items, standing in front of these log at given times, will feel as if checking for provisions in a real life camping situation.
11) Assuming you can do what you want, how would you make your interface more natural?An opaque or transparent interface, one that is there when needed. This type of interface will possibly feel much more natural, however we don't have time to implement it in our game.12) What kind of feedback does your interface present to the player? What do the players want to know? How does the interface relate to the player's goal? Will it help achieve that goal?We are planning an interface that specify when the player's current status changes, plus their health and various objects. We consider these being the main things the players will want to see.13) Is the interface feedback continuous? Why or why not? Yes, because it continuously sends info on the characters status/health and scores counter.

14) Please describe the concept of interface modes? Does your game have multiple modes? Please explain (Lens #60).

An interface of any complexity is going to require modes.modes make the player feel powerful and in control and do not confuse oroverwhelm● The modes we need in my game are based on the complexity and level of player interaction in the game. Simplifying the game complexity will add to the fun and also would make the game easier to make
● The modes in game can be combined, by making some areas easier than others, therefore easier to skill players and promising to less skilled ones.● None of the modes overlap in my game, is one giant level● When the game changes modes, the player will know because thegame will communicate it by changing to a faster pace by sound will increasing tempo.

Homework 10

Updated of the score system without the debug properties view

  In this installment texture packaging and sound have been updated to run without any errors. In game particle system is generated to create fire. In addition I created a score system and distribute it to my team members to help develop the game HUD. By creating pleasant animations of Potions this would help guide the player to obtained and complete their journey giving them a visual reference on what to do next.

How did I do it?: I created an empty illustrated in slide (#A) attaching a score system (#B) a property integer that allows the objects in front of the main character to interact adding by a power of one every time the character shoots an object of interest. In addition to the score increasing, objects are deleted from the world, and this is done by creating a sensor that detects the collisions of two objects. I animated the objects (Potions) (#C) and gave them a rotation in the -x axis as well as adding point light to give it the appearance of red glow.

My contributions: to the team this week have been to develop and research the Art work for the game promotional Poster as well as conducting studies that would lead me to place a health bar and score system interacting together and ready for when the monsters attach the main character. I packaged in game textures and sound, as well as updating them to test they would run without any errors. I placed a node.py file as part of a particle system in python to create fire. I created a score system and distribute it to all my team members.

In addition, as a team leader I allocated our resources by delegating the focus into developing AI (Artificial Intelligence) for the monsters in game, and communicate the daily updates and task to members individually as well as supplying a series of tutorials to help them guide the next series of steps to make our game design a success. 

Homework 9: 

Chapter 11: Balance

Considering all 12 types of balance. Some which apply, some which don’t. Examples in game are:

After carefully analyzing chapter 11 on Balance I realized that a good way to transpose the concepts learned in the book to my teams game, would be adjusting the elements of the game until they deliver the experience you want. Balancing a game is far from a

science; in fact, despite the simple mathematics that is often involved, it is generally

considered the most artful part of game design

1. Fairness: I am planning to keep the game symmetrical; by giving equal resources and powers to the player. The various Potions spread across the Maze that way If opponents have radically different skill levels this would be balance out by this tools that give momentary power to the player.

2. Challenge vs. Success: Increasing the difficulty gradually would be a way for me to solve this challenge. The effects of enhancements would be for a duration of just for a few seconds so it would also balance the level of challenge players would experience while keeping the game engaging.

3. Meaningful Choices:  I plan to force the game to situations in which the players ask themselves the questions:

Where should I go? Which power should I choose? How should I spend my resources? How should I dress my character?

By slowly revealing areas where objects reveal the next location along with the places where to find potions and various weapons, this and many more of this questions can be answer by the player while playing the game.

4. Skill vs. Chance: As disclosed in chapter 10, this two opposing forces can negate each other if not balance. My preference based solely on the fact that the game I am designing would be release in American, would be to maximize the effects of chance.

5. Head vs. Hands: Purgatory would involve more thinking while also involving a healthy doze of strategics and puzzle solving.

6. Competition vs. Cooperation: Since my game has no online playing capabilities cooperating is out of the question, however the competitive nature of the player do play a role base on the need to acquire points which translate in experience and currency to buy more items.

7. Short vs. Long:   Taking in consideration the given time for completion and also the fact that my knowledge of Blender is somehow limited, creating a rather short but engaging level that would perhaps host sub levels could balance the gameplay. One way to solve the problem would be to set a time limit and a point system which I already placed in the game.

8. Rewards: To solve this I plan to incorporate 3 simple reward systems based on the book of lenses:

• Praise- a special sound effect would be triggered once the player finds hidden treasures giving him special momentary powers to fight the monster in game.
•  Points:  Would give the player the illusion of success as they don’t really serve a real purpose.
• A Gateway: A mini game or bonus area would be placed in a hidden location of the games map to make the game structure rewards exploration.
• Powers: Since becoming more powerful is something that everyone desires in real life, this abilities would be offer in game by acquiring various magical items enhancing the player’s abilities momentarily.
• Completion: By completing all the objectives in a game this would give a special feeling of closure to the players, since people rarely get to resolve all problems in real life

9. Punishment: By adding this element, increase enjoyment can be triggered in players as stated in the book of lenses. Making the powers available only for limited time, not only balances the game but also triggers negative consequences if players don’t time their attack appropriately making the moment of using powers much more precious.

10. Freedom vs. Controlled Experience: Since the game isn’t meant to be a simulation of real life, but rather a more interesting version of real life, this would mean cutting out boring, complex, or unnecessary decisions and actions. By tracing a path to follow by enhance light and others visual FXs, glowing areas would show the way to go, solving this challenge.

11: Simple vs. Complex:

To strike the right balance between Simple vs. Complex, balanced surprises would be place during game play. By design a simple game that becomes a factory of never-ending stream of balanced surprises, and the only way to find out whether we have achieved this is to keep playing and changing our game over and over until the surprises start to come.

12: Detail vs. Imagination:

By providing some level of detail, but leave it to the player to fill in the rest in their minds this challenging  lens would be solve. We will make sure to “Only detail what we can do well”. For example I will be creating a detail animated intro cut scene with fancy Mocab motion files to present the main female character, after that a more simple first person view will be all the players would see, forcing them to play with their imagination to visualize being in the body of the character.

This concludes the 12 principles of balanced design.

Homework 8

In this homework, I am using objects that my team and I have already accumulated and place them in the game. I created multiple animations that will be useful in our game by infusing life to it. I animated the Maze door in: location, scale and rotation activated with the left mouse key as shown in video from homework 5

In addition the animations I have constructed include the Potions rotating in a continuous motion, as well as Spears and other weapons to defeat monsters in the game.

We plan to use the animated objects as a visual reference that one can interact with them and collect them in order to beat the game.

Contributions to team four this week

This week I place the Monsters that will hunt Sara in the Game, and also made sure the files would have the appropriate projected UV textures, as I have been having some issues in previous blend files. I discover that by saving in object file extension this can be corrected, but I am still working on re-saving each model individually. I also made a simple animated motion of the monsters approaching Sara in the hallway were she has to pass in order to advance, presenting our first obstacle in the game. In addition to this I also send emails to my teammates with useful tutorials on how to improve First person perspective video game using the character physics option for correcting jump and possible running actions as well as using Rigify option in blender to rig and animate characters.

Homework 7

Is the space in your game discrete or continuous?

·         Discrete

How many dimensions does your space have?

·         Tree dimensions

What are the boundaries of your space?

·         The walls in the Maze in relationship with to the outside world

How many verbs do your players (characters) have? What are they?

Jump, Run, Kill and open doors

How many objects can each verb act on? What are these objects?

Potions can be use in multiple ways:

·         Purple allow you walk through walls for a few seconds

·         Red increase your strength for a few seconds

·         Blue Makes you jump higher

Sword & Spears:

·         Kill monsters

·         Open lock doors

·         Break walls

How many ways can players achieve their goals

·         Goals in the game can be achieved in multiple ways, players have to look for unusual interactions and interesting combinations of Potions and other items strategizing to find and exit. The Maze is very intricate and has only one exit but multiple ways to get to it.

How many subjects do the players control? What are these subjects?

The many subjects in the game can interact with one another, to form new solutions. For example by coordinating different combinations of potions or sacrificing health in certain cases the player could pass thought a monster in a narrow corridor.

How do side effects change constraints?

·         Every time you obtain a potion or weapon, you not only change the monsters behavior, but you simultaneously change which reaction the monster will now have given that you activate the weapon or potion. My plan is to program a basic AI into the antagonist in the game to make the game more interesting.

What are the operative actions in your game?

•           Move character free in all directions

•           Jump obstacles

•           Move in and out of doors

What are the resultant actions in your game?

•           Protect a Sara from being captured by monsters

•           Sacrifice health to pass through a monster

•           Move a Sara into the safe room to avoid monsters

•           Use Spear, sword or potion to kill Monsters

What actions would you like your players to do that they cannot presently do? (based on your current knowledge of Blender)

I would like to be able to program elegant artificial intelligence to the monsters in the game, so they can react to the player actions.

What is the ultimate goal of your game?

To find an exit to the Maze

Are there short and long term goals? What are they?

The short term goals are to collect a series of items to increase the player score and health. The long term goals are to find the exit to the Maze, while managing to fight your way out without getting harm or kill by the monsters in the level.

How do you plan to make the game goals known and understood by the player?

Sings in the form mini tutorials would appear anytime a new action needs to be performed for the first time. This would be triggered by near sensors.

What are the foundational rules of your game?

Exploration and item collection

How are these rules enforced?

·         If the player finds the right items hidden in the level, this event would triggered momentary immunity to monsters allowing them to pass, If not this will equal dead. This makes an achieved goal rewarding. Physical constraints of the game world would simplify and enforce the rules, while also allowing gamers to avoid memorizing complex actions.

Does your game develop real skills? What are they?

·         The real skills of this game are problem solving and spatial awareness. By having to doge the monsters and try finding the exit, a repeating cycle of an increasing challenge factor is presented followed by a reward, often increasing the player’s powers an giving easier periods of less challenging events. This design is based on the book of lenses curve flow chart that feels much more interesting to a player.

Does your game develop virtual skills? What are they?

·         The character’s skill level would increase when finding a series of assorted magical objects in the game. Spears, swords and various magical potions would gradually increase the players ability to fight monster in the game by which in this context, refers to a virtual skill that the player would pretend to have.

My contributions to the team:

What I have done for the team four this week include, allocating a series of libraries base on advance MOCAP file animations from the University of Oregon in order to make the lead character walk and be presented in an intro cut scene in HD which I believe would increase and elevate the level of realism in the game.

In addition to that I research and created a series of realistic UV textures and made normal maps and displacement maps to be use in the game which would allow the game engine to render GLS in a more realistic way. Combining Blender UV mapping with a program called Crazy bump I generated more realistic textures giving our game a visual edge in graphics.

Homework 6

In this assignment, I upgraded the world of Purgatory, and add lights, realistic UV Textures and new more complex elements that would interact with the main character Sara. I made additional objects of my own creation and modify other objects so my team could also use them for the game. I created a scene incorporating the following parameters:

• Collisions between two moving objects
• Ability to add and delete objects from the scene
• Use of the collision or near sensor

Downloaded elements:

• Potion Bottles x3. Modified by me to look as glass and animated to rotate in a continuous 360 degrees
• Maze, modified to proportions, UV textured with bump maps and lit appropriately
• Door texture: CG textures.com, free license textures. 
• Sara lead character: Blender swap.com

Made elements:

Door and other objects: UV Textured and Animation 

World composition Lights and Fxs

Mist: World depth perception by occlusion of elements in the distance

Collisions between moving objects

Add and deletion of objects from scene

Use of collision near sensor
Score system
Sound effects

Homework 5

In this homework, each one of you will build on the previous homework. You will download (or construct) at least 2-3 more objects with which you will use collisions, gravity, force to create a simple toy or game.

Please describe how what you have done

For this assignment I created a basic mini soccer game that follows the basic principals of earth physics, by bounding objects withing a gravity and having them react when they collide. I model and textured all the 3 new elements  here, the goal area,  the field and the soccer ball. I also added a mouse python script under the text editor and linked it with the node editor in order to view the world while playing. I also parented the camera to the player for a better first person experience and lastly I added an 8 Bit retro soundtrack to the mini game.

1) relates to your game

Purgatory is a game that like in this mini game, needs to react to the appropriate realistic behavior objects follow in the physical world. My team and I wanted to add a mini game as and extra level for extra points.

2) generates elements of fun

Adding these mini game as a bonus level would be added fun for players. Also the difficulty set by the way the controls move the object in view, offers a level of challenge some would find fun.

3) how you could make use of an extended version of what you have done to create a simple game with rules (just with your own objects.)

Besides already having its own set of rules to be follow by the player, the inclusion of more objects difficulty and a score system could work as an extension of the original mini game.

Could each of you please create a sidebar in your blog, with links to the blogs of your other team members. This will help both you and us.

Homework 4

Please answer the following questions related to game experience and game objectives, based on Chapters two (The Designer Creates an Experience) and three (The Experience Rises out of Game). Use your blog.

Chapter 2

Forgetting about the game, think about your player. What are the experience(s) you want your player to have.

·         We want to submerge the player in an environment that promotes fear, anxiety and paranoia. Told from the perspective of the main character Sara, Purgatory, a horror game that promises to makes the player feel hounded as if something or someone is stalking you. Ideally we would like the player to also feel addicted, with the promised of liberation as it break out of Purgatory.

What are the essential element(s) of that experience?

·         Most importantly atmosphere

·         Fine tune Game controls

·         Immersive Sound

·         Lighting.

·         Staging.

Suggest a few ways your game might capture those experiences.

·         Researching other successful video game franchises such as Silent Hill, a giant in the Horror genre, we established a feel for what we are looking for in terms of sound design. This last example proved that a simple but powerful music choice can set a mood that would make players feel frightened and scared. Also sound effects besides background music, can set the mood to a jumpy more up to pace or slower and dreadful. Such attention to detail in music selection and sound effects can give away the horror that the main character is experiencing and translate this to the player.

·         Staging and lighting are also crucial. A well-orchestrated horror game as a good horror film,

 has to inspire a sense of being watched or followed, so by setting the light to be reflecting with worm colors drastic contrast of light and shadows, this can be achieved.

Chapter 3

Discuss a few ways in which you might include surprise in your game

A great example to apply is the classical term use in music of tension and release. By promoting fear through the game play = (Tension) achieved by the various music choices and scary lighting of the world, and jumpy moments of sudden surprises such as the apparition of a monster around a corner = (Release) this could give the player gratifying surprises.

How will your game be fun?

For most people, Adrenalin is released when they are put through difficult situations. The fact that our players would be scared or put in a situation that promotes fear, has its rewards by secreting Adrenalin, which some find to be a very powerful narcotic that promotes the sensation of fun.

Discuss the goals of your game (as it stands now).

The main idea is to make our video game unique to the player, this could be achieved by making them feel immersed in a cinematic experience that promises a rewarding ending or a satisfactory game play. We are still working the details.   

State your thoughts on how you will make the player attached to your game, or motivated to play the game.

The cinematic intro would set the narrative to be so unquestionably interesting that the player would have no choice than to find out what is next for Sara.

What problems do you expect the players to solve in your game?

Evading the various monsters and how the system of collecting items work in combination with a reward system of points are among the mayor problems players have to solve to successfully finish the game.

Contributions made to the team:

The contributions I’ve made to the teams game for the period of Sept. 8th through Sept. 15th, Involve helping with the art direction, implementing a design oriented aesthetic look and preliminary sketches for the game main character. I am leading team 4 by providing a line of communication that is open 24/7 allowing them to stay in touch and post their progress on both Google email & drive services. I've been checking daily on both of my teammates while organizing the way we apply lighting and textures to game assets as well as keeping the overall look of the game consistent to the horror genre.

It is my belief that by setting a mood which exploits the player's fear of the unknown, this would add to the player’s interest in wanting to explore the world and increase the addictive nature of the game. This would provide an opportunity to give the viewers a more immerse and rich gaming experience. So in general I have written the original concept for the game in a elevator pitch format, created the game document for my team and modified the downloaded assets by making them better fit our game.

    This is an update for the video Game Purgatory.

In this new installment a more mature system of navigation is been place,

by parenting a camera to follow along our main character. Graphics and music

have also been improve, as to better set the mood for this scary horror first person

exploration video game.

 The maze I worked on by adding more geometry, (rectangles) as walls and placing them inside its floor (plane). However the original model was downloaded from Turbo Squid. I am still working on remodeling it as to better fit the game

I used cycles just to render the world in a simple static way, no animation was done there. I just wanted to provide better lights and camera angles before the player starts the game. These was done by just setting the renderer to cycles and using its materials under the materials settings, I this to be rendered under the game render, once I add UV textures to the map, as the materials are different and react differently to light than in cycles or blender renderer. The objects I made were, the landscape and the world with a sunset in the horizon. The wooden bridge was also download from blendswap.com but I retouch it a bit.

In Game Controls:

Left, Right, Up and Down Arrows
