Week 3

This week I played games similar to what the game is expected to be similar too. For next week, I will explore ways to have feedback present in the game that helps players.

Art - Chris

I started out with art thinking that the only way I could accomplish a satisfying art was with 3d rendered art, even if it was only 3d rendered 2d. Throughout the iterations of our game however it started to lean towards more and more of a need for a 2d art style. We had to brainstorm a lot, but we ended up creating some mock-up art outlines, and although I'm not strong with 2d I was able to create some ideas. The idea we ended up going with was a Firewatch style mountain range with simple 2d sprites and animations. The biggest thing that made our art come together was when someone suggested parallax, because even though my art was simple, it added great movement to our game combined with the moving camera we used. Upon finishing it looks good, but I feel it could look so much better, and the main thing I learned with that is I need to create iteration upon iteration, because you'll only ever learn that something works or doesn't after you've created it.

Week 5

Aside from meeting with the team and listening to what needs to be changed within the game itself I did not contribute as much as I should have. From today's class I took away that although we were ahead of the early on, we neglected some essential parts of the game. While I had noticed some issues I was hesitant in implementing changes due to contraints, however with today's takeaways, I learned it's better to get something working even if it's not complete to actually see whether it works or not. With the coming week I hope to get the gears going and start working more on having better control in the game.
