"Alpha" game stage

-
So I have actually decided to scrap my 2D game and make it into a 3D as 2D just wasn't working for me no matter what I did. I tried to fix the errors one last time, but it just didn't work out and it was very frustrating. I will have to start everything from scratch but 3D seems to be working much better for me, for some reason. I've hardly gotten any errors and I've got my character moving and attacking and running, but for some reason this just did not work in 2D.

I know I have a lot to catch up on but at least it will actually work from now on. I implemented a character and I know I will be able to easily put in a background and things like coins and gems. I will basically just put my game idea from 2D to 3D, and hopefully it works out, as it seems to be alright so far.

the animations actually work!!

    Hey Anna,
    sorry to hear that your game wouldn't work in 2D, im pretty sure it was a requirement to work in 3D anyway? Might be mistaken.
    i cant imagine the change from 2D to 3D will be a quick process so best of luck to you and having to switch over!
    your games looks awesome though i seen photos on your main blog page and i get huge zelda vibes! maybe just your character choice.
    you should consider making the sword on his back an actual weapon, if this was already your intention i apologize there is so many blog comments and feedback i don't have time to read everything.
    Anyways i really hope the change wont be too big of an inconvenience on you
    best of luck
    eoin!

Introduction

This is a little introduction post for this blog as I continue my course into the semester. I think CDM has been interesting so far. It's quite different from last year. Last year, the best class I took by far was Photography, it was so fun and I loved taking photos in such an artistic manner. I loved going into the studio and using the flash and playing with the lighting and setup. It was a really interesting module and I'm a bit sad we don't have it this semester. I'd definitely love to do some more photography again because it let me express myself in so many unique ways using various techniques taught to me in the class. I'm not sure I'd like a career in photography after I leave college but I will say its very fun so far. This is a very early photo of my cat Bella I took when starting out with my DSLR camera. I'm glad I take so many pictures of her because I like to look back on them! My goals for this module is to be competent enough in Unit

Final GDD

This week, I have finalized by GDD ( https://www.dundoc.com/project/4800/9ci821tfu4 ) and made a good few changes to it. I have expanded on a lot of concepts that I have written about, and updated the concept art. I have also included new pictures which give a better image of the kind of game I want to make, including the atmosphere I want to invoke in the game. I used this picture to show the sort of scary, moody atmosphere I want to implement into the game. I also made some changes and added to the gameplay descriptions, giving more specific and detailed explanations.

Game Design Document

This week I have created a much more in depth GDD, expanding on my Game Vision Statement. I put a lot of thought into creating this vision. I have included information such as the controls, what kind of art style the levels will have, and weapons I have done this on a site called dundoc.com which specialises in creating game design documents. I have laid out the necessities of the game, beginning with the story and characters and continuing on into the art, levels, and gameplay mechanics. Here is the link to my own GDD:  https://www.dundoc.com/project/4800/9ci821tfu4 My Game Design Document.
