Greetings my fellow tech 2 peers. Our design document has really came together since we’ve began. We’ve all developed as a team and gave it our best effort so just remember as we finalize the document… Do It Strong!!!
The sound effects in the game should be simple, such as when the character enters a door of a building, you can here it open and shut. The main character will be walking around a lot in the game, so perhaps the sound of some footsteps should be implemented in the game as well. Besides simple things such as that, there will be sounds unique to each area. In the ghetto, you may here police car sirens. At the bridge you can hear the river below flow. At the park, some birds chirping in the background with kids playing.
Hello everyone this is Miles. I’ve searched for some music to reference and made a few short mp3 clips to exemplify what I think the game should sound like
The music in the game will compliment the moods of the main character and the atmosphere of each area. Here are some references of music that well fit specific areas in the environment
This is what the main character gets pumped up to when he is toning his muscles at the gym This is a sample of “She’s A Maniac,” by Flashdance.
This is the sound of one of the more harsh areas in the game, the ghetto, which can be threatening at times, and this reference captures that mind state. This is a clip from Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg’s “Lil Ghetto Boy” remix.
The house is a place where the user rests and talks to his parents among other things. The sound here is chilled, not necessarily relaxing but simple. The sample is by Lauryn Hill, “Killing Me Softly.”
This is one of the sounds I visualized as not a theme song of an area, but when the character makes a negative choice affecting the stats substantially, a screen shot will appear playing this while showing which stats have dropped. This is a sample of Dr Dre and Ice Cube’s “Natural Born Killa”
The bridge is an area where the character reflects, thinks deeply and makes big decisions of where he wants his life to end up. This sample is a soft piano melody, sampled from the “Incredible Hulk’ television series from the 1970’s, which captures the mood efficiently.
The hangout is a spot for the main character to chill and really just relax and forget about his problems and be with his friends. Though there is other things he may do while there, this sample of Biggie’s “Sky is the Limit” will compliment the mood.
These are a few clothing designs for the main character to choose from to alternate is attire.
The Traveler’s Dilemma was another example of a game theory and in this case it dealt with an airline and a suitcase. I think the most logical decision the travelers could make is to tell the truthful amount of their suitcase worth. Then the one who had the case with the most value would receive two dollars less and the one with the case with the lesser value would gain two dollars more of both of their respective suitcase values instead of taking high risks.
I will be creating the bridge along with some clothing designs for the main characters attire. I will post the artwork once I am finished.
This is Miles, I touched up the character models I posted up earlier. I’m seeking feedback on your guys’ opinion, so let me know.
This is Miles from the art department. I just posted up the artwork for the bridge and the character models. I will update you all on my latest artwork as I complete it.
