With the G.D.D. project this semester coming to a close, I want to reflect back on what I’ve been able to accomplish. My work had a lot of ups and downs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the one hand, I did accomplish everything I set out to do, which is quite rare – normally my ambitions are hardly ever realised. But I was able to make a full G.D.D. with a functional website, improved my 3D modelling skills with several asset creations, composited and textured an entire scene, and even managed to make a short animation of flickering TV’s. My grasp of compelling mechanics in games has improved, and I can say at least on a functional level, that all the individual pieces in PARANOIA would work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But frustratingly, it feels like while on an individual level everything works, when certain elements are put together it doesn’t feel quite right – like the wrong puzzle pieces in a jigsaw. For example, I liked my 3D assets seperately, but it was difficult to put together in a scene, and add to that the trouble I had getting lighting and cameras to work, the overall effect wasn’t as good as I wanted. That and the majority of it was done on my tiny laptop, so each render took ten minutes to load – in the end I just lost patience. And without being able to make a prototype – my supreme deficiancy in coding led to any attempts being given up on – it was hard to balance the game mechanics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While I don’t know if my game will be voted, I did have fun making the design document. I can’t wait to find out who I’ll be working with and what I’ll be working on next! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
