So for this week, I been working again on the Game Design Document. This was mostly to make sure that the document is full of informations about my idea. It sadly takes a lot of time that could be used up for doing the actual project, but at least making the presentation is a bit more fun than just writing all the text on a plain white page or on the DunDoc website. Speaking of DunDoc though - the interactive story will be very strongly based on what I wrote on that website so it might be worth checking out - Click!


If everything goes according to the plan, I will finally start doing the story this week. If things slide back, I will just abuse the easter break to do it, since then I will have free time and a good few other projects will be already done at that point.

    Hey Ada! This is a really well written game design document I like how you decided to create your game off of the one you created last semester I look forward to seeing it developed even further. I like how you're using an open-source medium to create your game I haven't seen many people do that. The story sounds really cool I think the idea of creating a mystical type game will allow for a lot of creativity. Adding a main map to the story is a great touch I think it's a simple way of adding the feeling of an adventure/fantasy game. I'm really looking forward to see the development of the characters different stories and their roles. Will they have some sort of power? Good GDD overall, best of luck with the game!!

    Hi Ada i really loved your game from the first semester, you had such a good story and i am please to see you decided to continue it, i love the concepts you have come up with for the characters, if you drew them yourself then wow, they are amazing, for me the story is everything in a game, it could have the worst graphics but if the story is amazing then I am sold, I would love to see how you make the spells come to life and how the game will unfold, you could even add in some combo spells like fire and ice working together to make a frostfire spell or something like that, I like how your going the interactive route as it means people can learn from it, all and all I’m really looking forward to seeing how your game ends and how each character progresses.

    Hi Ada,
    Really good game design document and I like how you will use your story from last semester as it was an interesting story for a game. Your game sounds like it will be a fun fantasy game. The twine tool sounds like it will help you a lot for backgrounds and a inventory system in your game. The game's world sounds really fun to explore and adding a map will help players in exploring this game's world. The characters sound exciting and I look forward to seeing their final designs along with the game's final design. Enjoyed reading your blog and good luck with the game.

Introduction - Hey! I don't bite.

Taken from  DeviantArt Hello!  My name is Adriana, though it is too long and I usually go by Ada. I am 22 years old, studying Creative Digital Media. Previously I had studied two years of Architecture and Interior Design in Blackrock, so if you ever hear me talking about architecture and furniture - now you know why. While I have finished the two years with total of 4 distinctions and few merits, it wasn't exactly what I wanted to do in life, but nonetheless it was a fun experience, as we got to design various of spaces - rooms, houses, garages, shops and so on. Apart from the boring course work, the biggest adventure was the travelling to Blackrock. I had to take two trains, and sometimes a bus to get to college, which usually meant waking up at 6am. I am not a morning person, so it was the biggest pain in the world at the time... but there was something soothing in taking the train. Maybe it was the journey, maybe people, or temporary calmness? I don't really know. Movin

Final GDD - Witch's Apprentice

Link to the DunDoc ...After completing my DunDoc , I feel more like a botanist than a creative digital media... I will never look at the plants the same way again. Anyway, I updated my document with a lot more information - including descriptions and image references for the characters, as well as the offers of the merchants, so hopefully they will feel a little more human-like now. I included a whole list of plants that will be available in the game, as well as gemstones and rare, buy-only drops from creatures. Now you can also imagine how the map will look like - with somehow detailed village layout, and the surrounding landscapes. System specs, sounds, game flow chart... all added in! So, enjoy?

Alpha

Personal images of my in-game. Personal images of my in-game. Personal images of my in-game. So here is my kinda-alpha... Still quite behind, seeing how much code I need to add into the game and instead I play with the terrain and water and bushes and flowers and all of those things. Its really hard to get everything needed just from the free assets and its quite frustrating when you imagine something one way, but then it's completely different due to restrictions... But it is what it is. I think it looks decent so far... Difficulties: Cursor - I tried like 10 different tutorials and I still can't get the cursor to work. I have seen tutorials where people just put in "Cursor.visible = true;", and it works perfectly... but sadly, not in my case. Dialogue - I tried using Fungus for dialogues, because it looked simple enough and doesn't require coding, buuuut... I don't know how to make it active when you click the NPC... Oh wait, I forgot I don&
