Project Progress : Vision Statement


Projects: Vision Statement

vision idea/design document 

  In this document, I will be expressing my idea of my game.


I have decided that I am very interested in the game that would be called something like  “Endless birdie”. This game has similarity to flappy birth except the obstacles are birds too. The genre of this game is 'endless runner'. 


 The gameplay starts of with a bird flying in a beautiful sky background with possibly some magical stars and a background filled with trees or some ground. At the top of the screen there will be a counter showing you how long you could last not dying. There is fun music playing in the background to help you conquer the birds that are flying towards you. The birds that are flying from the right side of the screen have one motive and that is to get in touch with you and collide so you die. If by any chance you hit the bird flying towards you, you die and a big sign pops up saying "game over" and you can restart the game to try and beat your high score from the previous time.


I found this interesting video where you can create a game that is endless runner. LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVCW5189evI. This tutorial looks quite simple but it covers a lot of elements. This tutorial shows more on how colliders work, using health functions, particles, having a repeating background and much more. I will be using this tutorial for my game and adding skills that I learned from Unity and possibly other tutorials. 


In an article by "Leviathyn" (I., n.d.) they mention that endless runner games make you want more. They are successful because you get that adrenaline from playing once and you want to keep playing to hit a higher score for satisfaction (I., n.d.). Games like "Temple Runner" are designed to keep you fascinated and enjoy the whole experience of beating your score (I., n.d.). There is never just "one go" on games that are "endless runner" genre and that is why they are so successful.

A picture of me :)  Hi, I'm Milena, nice to meet you. I am 20 years old and I love food, joking, well not really because I do love food but there's more to me than love for food. I can speak three languages, English, Russian and Lithuanian. I came to Ireland when I was five years old and got thrown into junior infants a week later not knowing any English and you probably know how that went. I did a lot of crying for the few first weeks because I could not understand one word anyone was saying to me but then I learned.  This is how to say hello in Russian and Lithuanian.  -Russian:  Привет (Pri-vet) Privet -Lithuanian: Labas (La-bas)

Game Vision Statement

Projects: Vision Statement vision idea/design document     A vision idea/design document is created to present a plan that you have for your game. In this document, I will be expressing my idea of the game. I have decided that I am very interested in the game that would be called “Shooting stars”. I had game ideas like "shoot the starfish", shoot rings onto a big starfish, or shooting bubbles but I like the sound of shooting stars. The name "shooting stars" reminds me of the night, calmness, and overall peace. This game is all about relaxing your mind and destressing but also could be a challenge. The game genre is shooting.  The gameplay starts of with a beautiful dark night sky, some relaxing music playing in the background, and possibly some sound effects of shooting stars like some “SWOOSH” sounds or any other sounds that "shooting stars" could make. At the bottom of the screen, there is a shooter or a shooting station. The shooting station would have

Game Design

Game Design Public domain license Link to image Game design seems hard yet after reading a few articles you soon realised how easy it can be to design and create a game. In my mind to create a game you have to be a genius with all of the knowledge of coding but after reading a post by Angela He" From Zero to Game Designer: how to start building video games even if you don’t have any experience"  you realise that in order to create a game all you need to have is an  idea, information about what kind of game you want it to be and the purpose, characters, some experience playing games, and some passion.   After reading the class reading task I realise you can create a game by drawing a simple line on a paper and dividing it into sections forming a challenge for the character. The next step is to choose a character and the enemy for example I chose an apple as the main character and a girl as the enemy. The apple runs away from the girl because the girl loves apples and there you
