Hey Everyone,
So since idk when but for a couple of months i have been working on very first game what is amezing. so for a little context. i am doing a study on game artist and of course in every period we have a big project we work on every wednesday. (depends usually on the period but this period is on a wednesday) anyway so i have started with making my first game. not in unity because i don't really know how to work with that yet with proper games haha. would look honestly like a mess than.
anyway, i wanted to talk about the game a little bit because mabey i want to upload a movie showing how to play the game. we can't upload it because it's an engine that was made by one of the teachers on my college. even the developer class is kinda complaining about it haha but i don't have to deal with putting codes into the engine etc.
so how it started was we where put into a big class room (because the other class room wasn't availible idk but it wasn't ) so we where in the photoghraphy room yes we have that in my college pretty awesome) but we where put into teams there. i was put with this guy, i will call him WS so yes WS was my team mate but of course he wasn't there. i didn't know where he was but he was late (what later was becoming kind of a problem) so some developers where sitting at our huge table and one said he liked to go on his own and was a bit egotistical about his work. of course i said i wouldn't stand for that and would litterly crush that into the ground. (that guy lets call him AN ) also said later this week that game artist don't know what developers do and that they think that game artists think they do the most work (what is complete bullshit we both do just as much work just in different departments)
but yah besides that i wasn't to worried just that i couldn't find my developer. later in the weeks he was late alot what kinda drives me crazy right now. it is getting less but sometimes i really want to give him a kick under his ass to let him know. besides that he is a nice guy he just doesn't talk much and i need to every time pull out the information out of him. i will let him know he has to ask more my side as well because it's annoying for me to do it every time with no intresst from him.
further than that we build up a story and we are litterly so far compaired to the others what we where both so amazed by. i worked really fast with my sketches and line work on photoshop and send it to him and you can basically go through the whole level (although there no puzzles or almost none) but i am pretty proud on how far we are.
the short version of the story is that you crashed on a water planet and you need to get out with the pod. you need to gather all the food in the ship your in and need to solve some puzzles in the crashed ship your in. it's pretty simple to be honest.
i am not proud of what art i made because it is litterly done when i was first figuring out how to work in photoshop for the first time. what is kind of emberrassing. anyway i noticed with coloring and shading the outlining that it got so much better. so i am keeping with that. mabey i'll post some of the art to show you how the game looks.
i had to laugh when some developers came over and judged my art. one was iritated that you could look through the character. i just had to laugh how they judged my art while it wasn't finished and how they kinda made fun of WS in a friend kinda way. i later explained that if i fill it up that it would be a pain in the ass to remove it from the whole drawing. now i realize i could make a different layer under it and it wouldn't be a problem but than i stil have to remove everything but that's less work. still it made me laugh what was good.
further how far i am with the game is that you can go through the whole level (without many puzzles) so there is only outlining. the objects are colored already just like the mouse you work with is fully done and glows when you hover over it so that's pretty cool i guess although it's my work haha.
further the only one that knows how it looks are my classmates/friends and @killacup who i am working with an emberrassing mistake that i on accident send it to him. never had shown it to a stranger before that and i was supposed to send it to my developer what went wrong haha. besides that my dad has only seen it because i was excited about it and the only words he had to say was ''you're going to be alright'' in the sence that he thinks i am going to do well in the future what is great to know. i was happy to hear that.
but hopefully when WS and i are done he can record when he plays the game and i will ask if he can send the video to me and ask him for permition if i can post it. hopefully he sais yes but i don't think he will say no because he is pretty easy to talk to.
anyway i am glad i am working with him because he works fast and doesn't deliver shit luckly. and if you talk to him he is pretty nice. although he has his flaws like not asking me anything and not coming on time he is good to work with. hopefully he also sais when he gets botherd by something. (like AN said i was not availible because of my head phones on WS did the same but yah ) i asked WS and he said it didn't bother him at all he did the same XD we said that if something is going on we would just ask even though the headphones. (we both wear head phones because we're litterly working on a game for 3 and a half hours with like a 15 minute break or something in a busy class room so we can consetrate ourself better that way) further i like working with him and hopefully i can show you the game in the future ^^
anyway this was a little rant about the game i am working on. i wanted to talk about something and let you all know what i am working on ^^ hopefully you enjoyed reading it and further thanks for reading until the end. here is some music you might enjoy and further i hope everyone is having a wonderfull day.

First, your "rant" about this game reminded me of the other game you worked on a while back, the one where you had to design the main menu, a level, and enemies (I think you went with steampunk). What happened with that? Will we ever see something from there? I would like to :)
Now I'll talk about your post ;P
Sounds like WS is not a team player in a project that need people who communicates effectivly and cooperate... which is a serious issue. I hope he communicates more often, and doesn't have to be "interrogated" to get answers from him... and that he gets more punctual. Is he ditching class, or what? Does his late arrivals have any consequences for himself?
Great idea for the game, by the way! A sci-fi survival puzzle game sounds promising, and can probably be very interesting and fun to play! ^_^ ...you said it takes place on a water planet.
Is the whole surface covered in nothing but water (one massive ocean basically), or are there islands and things under the surface as well? :3
Yeah, good call to make the character in 2 layers (1 outline, 1 filler).
After watching D (you know who ;) ) create lots of great sketches and scenes in Photoshop herself, I've picked up on a thing or two about how it works xD
Oh dear! Sucks that you managed to send stuff about this game (or the game itself?) to the wrong person! :( not a nice feeling, I know since I've sent a text message to the wrong person once. But it's great to hear your dad supports you and believes in you! ^_^
I would be glad to provide any sort of assistance you think I can give, Nyana, so please don't hesitate to ask me :) I would also love to see pictures from the game, though a video would be even better :P Does the game have a title?

haha no that was my asignment to get into the school. i told you that goof. it never got made into a game i just had to sketch one to show my abilities. nothing ever happend with it afterwards. although i am still very proud of it.
and i don't know WS doesn't seem like the person to ditch class. on the conterary to be honest he is just late alot what i also told one of the main teachers on the project. we start first thing in the morning and most people live atleast an hour away from the college.
and i don't know. i only have to design the inside of the ship basically with showing the outside of the planet a bit but it's underwater so XD but i'll see if it has islands when i can do some extra work.
haha i know i am doing a study on it. it would be stupid to make a filler and an outline in one layer.
it's not that it sucks that i send it to the wrong person it's just emberrassing because i am not proud of the art work.
i have to make this game on my own with my developer so i am sure we can manage otherwise i will ask but we're trying to make this on our own what is the assignment. anyway thanks for the compliments though ^^ and the name of the game is : Lost in space
