The project is split up into 4 areas:
- Professional game conception.
- Professional character conception and 3d modelling.
- Professional level design.
- Professional environment design and 3d modelling.
Our new tutor Ben Hill, also talked about new methods of creating game concepts and documents in a much more efficient and productive way. Instead of making documents hundreds of pages long, cut that down to 20-30 pages or even less, this way the information can be easily accessed and implemented without trawling through pages and pages of irrelevant information, although that means the documents have to be very concise and contain the most vital information to get the game idea across.
So our first step in the process is coming up with a theme, now again same to the contextual studies assignment we cannot take reference or inspiration from past games we have to look outside the industry for ideas and reference.Without using the Internet we tried to brainstorm ideas using different themes as a starting point such as religion, science, politics, music etc anything in our world that we could use as a starting point.
Here are a few of my mindmaps created in class:
Themes:
Religion/Cultures- Ancient Civilisations-There religious beliefs they had-Gods-Cults-followers.
Science- Medical advances- Longer life expectancy-Population increase- Drain on the earths recourse's.
-The invention of power sources-Electric-Hydra-Steam
-Technical advances-Machine operated equipment-Robots
These are the two themes i started in class, i will now need to go and use the Internet to further my research and knowledge to fully decide which theme i will be choosing, but this is a great starting point to get the ball rolling. I defiantly think religion/cultures is a great theme to use but i will still research as i don't want to limit myself and become to attached to ideas, as i may find a better one round the corner.
