Game Design Cont:

So Back to the design this will probably be my last post now until January as its Crimbo in a couple days time :-).

As you can see from my previous posts I have designed a few elements for my game, I decided to continue with the design phase before really moving onto anything else, so the next step in the design phase was the backgrounds, I thought of creating a few moving backgrounds for which they was a few tutorials on line but decided not to go with them as the Aliens in my game will be going backwards and forward and therefore not really moving off screen.

So as you can see in the images below I decided to create static background scenes:

Start Screen

Night Scene

Afternoon Scene

Morning Scene

Game Design

Well after starting to create the game I actually thought the game looked a bit dull, so I decided I should create all the elements of the Game such as the Tank aliens and the bombs.

So here are the finished elements of the game, please note that all of them have different scenes within them selves to create animations but I decided to only put a few up as it would just take for ever to upload all the images of the individual elements.

Tank

Tank - Eploded

Sheild - Full

Sheild - After one hit

Play Again Button

Play Again Button - On Mouse Over

Alien - 1

Alien - 2

Alien - 3

Level Up Button

Level Up Button - On Mouse Hover

Stonehouse Projection Idea

Well today didn't really have much to do so decided to create a little animation of what the project might look like, I have kept to the idea of sound waves eating away the built up grime and came up with a first version animation that I made in Flash just so I could get a feel of what it might look like. Obviously the final result should look a lot better and a lot neater but for now I feel this gives a good example.

Please not the animation will load, it just takes a while as its a big file 2.5mb.

Chinese Numbers

Hi I finally finished my Chinese numbers assignment for Mark Dixon, I decided to get it done earlier than needed just so I could have a nice and relaxing Christmas oh and to also concentrate more on the Flash Game as I enjoy actions script more than JavaScript.

Game Continued

Well I had an interesting day in Chris's lessons and thought I would continue a bit more with my Game and decided to put a start screen in the game so the user can press a start button that then takes him to the game.

Here it is:

Game Continued

Well after some more time spent on the Flash game project I have now managed to get a missile going up the screen and the alien going across the screen. I now just need to figure out how to complete the collisions and then the scoring bit hopefully get this project done earlier than later so get more time to do some other things in Flash.

Measurement

Today me and Kathleen decided to go down to Stonehouse and get some measurements for our projection, the measurements we got were Width: 289cm x Height 153cm (both sides) and middle x 183cm. So as you can probably tell the window we will be projecting into will be an arch window. I have attached a diagram to show this.
