Development Diary 4th February The first thing i will do in the development of my prototype 2.5D game is work on Maya to create my models. 7th February What i am working on today is the core layout of my level. 14th February Today i have had to restart the process of creating the level on unreal since my last file was corrupted, the set back is only minor since the game wasn't finalised and was only the layout of how i wanted my game to run. This however gave me time to edit my first ideas over the past few days and work on new ideas for the route the player takes, hopefully now including drop down areas and such other interesting ideas. The new idea for the game revolves around traversing the map through vents instead of rooms as i had first hoped, this means that i can adapt how the window block(S) would work and make it the end goal of escaping, this benefits me since due to the fast approaching deadline i could spend less time working on the art and more on the gam

Into the night A vast snow-scape was layed out before them, the blizzard, ever defiant, raged on outside the mouth of the cave yet they had to move. The search party would be close by now, even with the blizzard in full swing they had no choice, only forward into the night. The two forged through the Icey wind and hail of snow which battered them with each step, it was clear Timur was starting to feel the cold but that couldn’t be helped, the sound of distant engines kept them moving, if they were caught it would be all over. Maxim couldn’t risk it, neither of them could. It had only been a week since the United Russian Federation were crushed at the battle of the Ural pass, It was bloody, no survivors what so ever, the NSU forces took them completely by surprise. A pack of wolves stalked them through the blackness, with patrols of NSU stalking them too. In the middle the blizzard sets in worse brining minimal visibility leading to the two characters getting

My Gaming Machines - Then & Now I have used many gaming systems in my childhood, the first i owned being the Nintendo DS and the first my family owned being the PS1. The first game i remember the clearest was Timesplitters 2 on the Playstation 2 or Sentinals of the starry skies on Nintendo DS. The latest game i have been playing is For Honor and soon to be Red Dead Redemption 2. I enjoyed Timesplitters because it brought a creative mapmaker to the gaming scene which i really enjoyed, i spent hours making and playing through my custom maps. I also enjoyed Dragon Quest sentinels of the starry skies which was the first RPG game i ever played. I enjoyed it because it was challenging but also fun and i still to this day play it still stuck on the same boss as when i was younger. I currently play For Honor alot since the new "Marching Fire" Expansion.

A. Music and Sound FX is important to game development because it helps set the games, theme and atmosphere.

     A review of Destiny 2 : Forsaken This review will cover what my thoughts on the latest instalment  to the Destiny franchise. [Spoilers ahead] Destiny 2 : Forsaken adds a sizeable expansion to Destiny 2 which in a brief summary instils a feel of vengeance, heroism and anger. This is mainly due to the fact the series' most beloved character, Cayde 6, was killed off in a clever marketing move to try bring players back to the series. The game-play is based around hunting the person who committed the act and bringing him to justice. The main addition to the story involves the death of Cayde 6 who was the character that the community enjoyed and cherished, he was the humorous character between two stern and bland characters. The death of Cayde hit the community hard and it was incredibly successful in creating a burning anger towards the antagonist that i haven't seen in many other games, i can't remember the last event that bonded a diverse community toge

Hello my names Harry,  I am interested in the story telling side of Games Design however i'm also trying my hand at programming. I have a Youtube channel, though it isn't very relevant to my course, which will be linked below.
