Concept art.

what you need to know about concept art 

concept art is the first part of the game before you design the characters on Maya because you have to get the character perfect on paper before you start making it on the PC.

it is also an idea that someone has and then they bring that to life by putting there feeling and the motivation of the mind onto paper and letting the world see there idea and the feeling one may have and how there mind works for example if you have an artist who uses dark colours then you can get the impression that they are in a very dark place in there head and there mindset might be to express what they are thinking and get it on to paper but then if someone draws a very colourful and bright piece of art then you my think that they are in more of a happy and peaceful mind set and there expressing there feelings of course this is all what i think on expressing art though your mind im not saying that everyone who either draws happy or sad pieces of art are all in the mind set but i like to think that one should express themselves through art with the power and motivation of ones mind to tell the world how you are feeling. 

how does concept art make you feel 

this piece of concept art make me feel upset like in there in that world and the feelings of pain that the character int the art work is feeling the hanging bodies are one of the more powerful of the death and despair that has gone on in the picture the smoke makes me feel that there was and war and the clothing makes me believe that there in a WW1 battle like the Somme and going back to the hanging bodies then becomes even more powerful with of the war made you feel and how horrific it must of been to be there in that place the colouring that the artist has used are very dark and gloomy but the blue sky and bird flying make me feel like there is hope because that small part of colour shows happiness and the birds flying away make me feel like there is still life after this war .

my game idea for killer klowns from outer space.

Killer klowns out of space
Plot

The film has an army of sadistic alien life forms who resemble clowns land their circus tent ship in the sleepy American town of Crescent Cove. An old man, named Farmer Gene Green discovers the spaceship, but, while investigating, he and his dog, named Pooh Bear, are quickly executed by one of the alien Klowns named Jumbo. A young couple, Mike Tobacco and Debbie Stone Snyder, who are out for a romantic evening, encounter the Klowns' spaceship and goof around for a while until they enter a room with a few cotton candy cocoons and a few giant balloons. They find the old man's corpse in one of them, and barely escape capture. They are chased by the Klowns, while the remaining teenagers are quickly killed by the aliens. Mike and Debbie rush into town to warn Officer Hanson of the impending danger, while the Klowns follow them into town. The Klowns Army harvests the unsuspecting population, blasting random victims with a ray gun that cocoons them with a cotton candy like substance, with lethal results. The Klowns Army uses a variety of seemingly innocent methods to ensnare their victims, such as killer shadow puppets bloodhound like balloon animals and a ray gun that looks like a child's toy. Since the methods themselves appear whimsical the townspeople don't realize they are in danger until it's too late.

My game idea.

For my game idea because the film is about killer clown I was thinking of doing a cliché fair ground 1st person shooter horror game.

Cut scene. The game will be set in a abandoned fair ground and a guy and a girl go there because they were bored and wanted some where quite to get on so they thought know one would go to look for them and the fair ground so they go the dodgems seeing all the upturned carts but there was a couple that were upright so they sat down into one of the carts and started talking and just before the guy could make a move they saw the ghost train ride start up the girl got scared and wanted to leave to the boy said it’s a faulty ride and it might not have been turned off properly thinking to him self how strange it was but he was more interested into getting in on but then he heard of laughing noise coming from the tunnel thunderstruck they both got up to run but the way was shut so they both grab anything they can protect them self's with and just as the guy picked up a steal bar he turned to see a clown standing there and before he could react the clown let out a deafening scream that was so simpler to a banshee cry.

The game

The game will be a survival game where you start at round 1 but the game its self cannot be completed and as the waves go up you will be able to unlock new weapons and armor and the clowns themselves will get harder and harder until you die and the aim of the game will be to survive as long as possible you will start of with a steal bar like shown in the cut scene but as you work your was through the round you will be able to get cricket, swords and guns starting with a pistol all the way up the a machine gun.

B) In a western barroom fight our hero is hit over the head with a whiskey bottle. 

The bottle is fake. It becomes real with the addition of an actual glass bottle crash from the sound editors library. In gun battles the weapon actually is actually loaded with blanks and what is called quarter loads which means one fourth of normal amount of gunpowder contained in a real bullet. The actual sound is just slightly louder than a cap pistol until the sound editor has completed work.

C) The temporal frequencies of sound waves are generally expressed in terms of cycles per second. The simplest waveform is the sine wave since it has only one frequency associated with it. The sound waves associated with say music are constantly varying.

My game was reviewed by Ollie but sadly the game play didn’t save but all the same reviewed my game for me.

Review of Matt’s game:

My first impression of Matt’s game was that it was very well presented the graphics on the sprites were reminiscent of retro, abstract games such as Pac-Man, the gameplay is solid, it uses the arrow keys for direction which makes the game very easy to start playing, the enemies move in a very predictable way which allows the player to calculate their movements before they are in danger it creates a need for pre-thought and fast reflexes because the enemies move at the same pace as the player so avoiding obstacles when they appear is not an option, the enemies moving distinctly also gives the player a sense that every time they lose it is their fault and not the game doing anything wrong, another feature of the game is the moving walls, it adds another layer of difficulty and it gives the player an incentive to complete the game as soon as possible otherwise more wall blocks will start moving. I would suggest adding in a reset button because I got into some situations where it was impossible for me to progress and I’d have to wait for an enemy to kill me in order to restart. There is a few bugs in the game most of them include becoming stuck in walls and sometimes when the moving walls touch your character you become stuck inside so there is no way of moving and enemies cannot touch you in order for you to restart. Overall the game is successful in achieving what it sets out to do and with more development time to add some missing features like sound, a score display and some bug fixes it could become a very fun game.

shape man

These are the main antagonists in my game they move around and try kill you I created then by making a circle then I thought the colour red because red is a bad guy colour (yes very cliché) then I put there features in the eyes and big and that suggests that they are quite sweet but they have a fine mouth which again is what bad guys are meant to have I didn’t put any arms or legs on him because I think he looks better without them because he’s a circle.

The is my main protagonist he is meant the look quite cute so the gamer will enjoy playing as him I made him into a square because it works well with the arms and legs instead on putting his arms to the side I thought it would be good with his arms in the arm because then he look more innocent I made his eyes the look cute if you notice the white in his eyes it’s meant to be the light shining into his eyes to make him look sweeter than the antagonists.

These are the walls that move around in my game to make the task in hand harder than it needs to be I came across it by accident but I liked it so I tweaked it to work that much better and now I have moving walls that block your path when you try get to the shapes also I noticed in my game the main will get stuck on the wall sometimes which get annoying but I couldn’t find a way to get around it but still the walls works well for the game I’ve made also I made my moving wall grey because it’s quite a neutral colour.

This is my border wall this just keeps all my bad guy and my main character in the game so they don’t float of out the game and I made them blue so it stands out from everything else so you know for sure you’re play within the boundaries the wall does not move but if anything hit against it the will bounce straight off.

This sprite is one of the shapes within the game that you can go into and changed into that shape and you are safe from all the circle enemies but after a while the enemies change into a different shape so you can’t just kill them all with the first power up you get I made the sprite pink so it will stand out from all off the enemies I have because they're the same shape.

This is my third power up sprite this is red like the enemies the reason for this is because they are complete opposites so I thought it would be cool and it works because you tell them apart very easily the cross was going to be fun to use because I was going to make it spin but I wasn’t able to do so.  

This sprite is my second power up you can get but the enemies might not change in that shape because the is not order of what my enemies will turn into the keeps you thinking and on the edge I made this sprite green because it’s the starting shape of my main character so I thought it would be quite fitting to have then the same colour.

This if my fourth and final power up sprite the is the easiest power up to get because of where it is in my game and the yellow colour is for when you play the game you will see I lot of bright colours so I feel the yellow will draw you to it which then makes the others harder to get to which is the little twist in my game.

As you can see in the photo below the placing of all my power ups where you start off and just the basic lay out of my game. I was going to put a score in and lives but I ran out of time unfortunately also in my game I have not made everything work for example when you change into a different shape you can’t move and there is no restart button these are things I would make work if I had the time to do so.

This is my game when you are in mid game if you can see what I mean about my moving wall it’s very hard to get around them when they're all in constant motion.
