Week - 3

This week after obtaining the necessary assets, we move on to deciding the player abilities, player controls, game balancing, game rules and game penalties.

We have decided on the name of our game it is, Hunters vs Clones.
Here on I'll be referring Team 1 as Hunters and Team 2 as Clones.

As the players who join the game are grouped into 2 teams mainly hunters and clones each team have different abilities, game penalties.

We'll be discussing the player controls of,
Hunters:
W, S, A, D:                            movement forward, back, left, and right.
Ctrl:                                      crouch.
Space:                                   jump.
Mouse:                                  look around.
Left Mouse Button:             Shoot the weapon.
B:                                           Choose weapon AR or Shotgun.

Clones:
W, S, A, D:                            movement forward, back, left, and right
Ctrl:                                      crouch
Space:                                   jump
Mouse:                                 look around
Left Mouse Button:            Become Prop
E:                                          Flash Skill

Player Abilities:
For Hunters,
  • Hunters can shoot the clones, this is the only way they can kill the clones and win the round.
  • They can use different guns such as Assault Rifle and shotgun.
  • Have Unlimited bullets.
For Clones,
  • Clones can become any objects they see in the map regardless of size or shape.
  • They have the ability to stun hunters also called as Flash skill.
Game Rules:
The rules every player has to follow when starting the game are,
  • Each round is played for 5 mins.
  • A typical match gives a headstart for the clones so that they can start to hide in the map.
  • After the 30 secs Hunters hunt the clones, the only way they can win the round is by killing every clone within the time limit.
  • Clones aim is to avoid getting killed and survive until the time runs out.
  • After every round the teams are swapped and are played until best of 5.
  •  Each player can use their skill 3 times per round with 30 sec recharge time after using the skill.
  • Clones have 200 health points. Each time they are hit 20 hp is reduced.
  • Hunters have unlimited bullets.
  • Hunters are spawned in a place and for the first 30 secs they are frozen in place and are given time to choose their gun to use in that round.
Game Balancing:
One of the most important steps when desiging a game is game balance, it could either make or break the game i.e., the game could become boring the longer you play like becoming repietitive or a character could become so over powered that they are guranteed a win if they use one strategy or a character. In order to overcome this game designers introduce game balancing as a way to make the gameplay equal to everyone regardless of who they choose as their character or use a strategy.
Some of the game balances introduced for our game are 
Hunters:
  • Each hit to the clones by an Assualt rifle causes the clones to lose 25 hp.
  • Each hit to the clones by a Shotgun causes the clones to lose 65 hp.
  • Have footsteps, so that the clones can hear the Hunters when they are in close proximity.
Clones:
  • Clones have the ability to transform into any object they see regardless of their size or shape but different size they transform into have different Health points.
Game Penalties:
Some of the game penalties that the players can take when playing each round are,
For Hunters,
  • Can use only one gun at the begining of each round that is they can either choose an Assualt Rifle or a Shotgun.
For Clones,
  • Clones have a skill called Transform which they can use to turn into any objects they see, this skill is limited to 3 uses for every round and have a 30sec delay after each use.
  • Clones have a skill call Flash Skill which stuns the hunter, this skill is limited to 3 uses for every round and have a 30sec delay after each use.

 This week we'll be looking the how the UI looks in the game aswell the gameplay demo. The user interface and experience is arguably the most important facet of video game development strong UX design can make the difference between a chart-topping hit and an unplayable dud; it can engage players for hours on end or lead to game-quitting frustration; and it can even make or break a game development studio. When the game runs, these are the UI's implemented, The first page that the players see is the Main Menu wherein they have 3 options, Login  Create Account Exit If a player does not have an account then the player clicks on the Create Account button to create an account. When he clicks the button he is redirected to create account page where he has to give a name which will be his ID and a password so that he can use that to log into his account. If this step is done correctly then the players info will be stored in the database. After creating the account the player is redi...

Week - 2

In this week I tried to obtain the necessary assets required for the game. As of now the name of our game is still under works, but atleast we have an idea on what needs to be done. Level Design : For this part we decided to set the game in an Industrial Warehouse, for the following reasons: The map would be bigger, hence the team 2 can hide in better spots. Lot of objects can be placed in the level for the team 2  to tranform into. The map we choose could be PBR and this would make it realistic. I found the perfect assest that we could use to satisfy all the above reasons, here are some of the screenshots on how the level looks like, Here's a video of how the map looks like from the player prespective, beware this is just from the assets description we haven't implemented it yet. The link for the asset used for the level design is,  Level_Design . Player Model or Character Model: Since the game is set to played as 2 teams we decided the Team 1 would be as of now SWATS and Te...
