Genre Building alliances

 Genre

The things in bold will have definitions at the end

The genre our game encompasses is going to be a non-linear action adventure, I say this because you will have a choice on where you go before facing the final boss, being able to complete different areas at your own pace without disrupting the story of the game. Given that the game will feature action elements it will also feature “beat 'em up” style gameplay as well as the puzzle elements to fit under the adventure and exploration aspects.

Games that we have taken inspiration from include but are not limited to The legend of Zelda Tears of the kingdom(2023) on the Nintendo switch, Nintendo, Shadow of the colossus (2005) for the PlayStation 2 by Sony Computer Entertainment and others of the sort.

Action/ adventure refers to the balance between action and adventure elements found within a game, action includes anything ranging from fighting against combatants, completing separate encounters to trigger damage phase to damage a boss as well as quick time events or QTE’s as they are generally abbreviated to test your reaction and accuracy. The elements of adventure are broader than action and they generally coincide with each other anyway, you explore areas in a game while also using action elements to progress further into the game. Adventure also includes completing puzzles and engaging in an immersive world. 

Beat 'em up - This genre refers to a game where the player fights through waves or large groups of generally weaker enemies usually with their fists or melee weapons progressing by beating these enemies until they reach a boss fight and the cycle continues - a perfect example of this is a game called Sifu(2022) for consoles and PC by sloclap and H2 interactive, the premise of which is exactly as I have described above.

Real Worlds: Research Dossier

 Real Worlds Research Dossier SWOT Analysis My strengths when it comes to this project are generally character design including the props and written backstory of my characters another strength is my ability to produce some half decent key art. I will play to my strengths in the 3d section by doing a paint over of a 3d block out as well as creating some interesting props to look at within the piece itself. My major weakness is 3D and the general workflow around it, I have some skill but I am nowhere near good enough in my opinion. Another weakness of mine is ideation and perspective so I'll try to push myself a bit more in those aspects. The ideation section of the 3d will help me improve on this area of weakness because it will allow me to delve further into shape language and storytelling through visual details. An opportunity that will come up in this project will be when I receive direct feedback from a client telling me whether the designs are working or not enabling me to go ...

Texturing and model complete

 Texturing Render captured in Sketchfab Texturing my model was quite simple I colour picked from my original character sheet and placed them where necessary using the polygon fill feature and a black mask. I also did most of the texturing on the base colour viewport to retain as much accuracy as I could.  One thing I will say before any critique over the accuracy of colours on the Tommy gun is purely for character background the chamber and the barrel aren't rust blued is because they want to take care of this weapon themselves; to stay disciplined and as a reminder, the magazine gets changed way more frequently and is not a part that is as important to her although she does fill her own magazines.  Character Texture tile Thompson M1928 Texture tile  I do plan on going back through my textures and adding my own shading instead of relying on lighting as much, doing so would also allow me to add more personality to the final model. There will also be a version with the...

Character sculpt 2 - Gangster

 Character sculpt 2 - Gangster To start off my sculpt I used the base female model that comes with Zbrush. my main goal with this is to speed up my process I will eventually change the face to better match my character model but this acts as a good jumping off point.  The first part of the sculpt I created were the trousers the following method applies to all of the main sections of the sculpt. I start with a mask and then extract at zero thickness without a double sided surface. Next I then use the polish by features operation and then Zremesh the extracted object with it set to 1 to get it as close to 1000 polys as possible once that is done I'll do some minor tweaks and remesh it again. After that I'll apply the dynamic subdivision setting adding thickness  without actually confirming it this way I have some more freedom while keeping the original low poly mesh. Each of these components aside from the base mesh were created using the method I wrote in my last pa...
