On Monday, we had a really interesting talk from Louis Torres Tailfer, a former Unity journalist and current Unity Engineer. During the talk, he introduced us to the games that he’s helped create including…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One published indie title<\/strong> Two published studio titles<\/strong> – North Utsire, South Utsire He took us through the notions of developing a VR game, as well as an IP game, as the Peaky Blinders game he helped develop was both of those. Issues like the hands glitching with every movement were a big hurdle for the game, and making sure other countries were okay with the content in the game was another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, Louis told us that the Chinese market was a huge reach for the game, but the government does not permit extremely graphic violence, which is what the game was centred around. Therefore, he had to skirt around blood and graphic themes when implementing the features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He also had his philosophy, where he introduced programming as a creative medium. While I’m not a programmer, I could understand what he meant as people can code pretty cool and artistic things (such as spectrums and ASCII art). <\/p>\n\n\n\n He also gave some advice for us newbie game designers which I implore anyone reading this to also consider…<\/p>\n\n\n\n We had a lecture with Sophie on different features we can add to our games to direct (or misdirect!) players. These tools can be used to enhance our games and make players go where we, as designers, want them to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Designing with misdirection<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Designing with Illusion<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n To summarise Sophie’s useful info:<\/span> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Monday On Monday, we had a really interesting talk from Louis Torres Tailfer, a former Unity journalist and current Unity Engineer.
