Final Major Project

Today I decided which project and topic i would start, i already started doing my research on my topic and what i should include on my level for my target audience.

Today I started and finished task 1 of my project, i thought about ideas i could include in my level and put its advantages and disadvantages, I also started task 2, next lesson to finish task 2 I will gather more images of the internet on a document so I can have a better idea of things I want to include in my level

Today I have nearly finished my research, I

did the 1st bit of research and the research log and next lesson i will do a questionnaire.

Today I finished my questionnaire, i checked my gantt chart and i think I'm a bit behind since we only have 3 weeks left and I'm still doing my research, thinking about questions was a bit tricky since i didn't really know what questions to ask about my level but it turned out well at the end, people answered the questions and i got enough data for my questionnaire but in the first question a lot of people skiped the reason why they think a first person shooter could be suited for people aged 16 or less.

Today I finished my sketches, I already picked 1 and made it my final design, the reason I picked it is because on this sketch I drew a side arm weapon, if its possible I will include it in, also the soldier's uniforms look better than the other sketches for my level. I checked my gantt chart and I think I'm on track, the creativity of my designs was something I think went well but the drawing is something I could improve on.

Today I started designing my level, I already finished the landscape, I put a grass landscape material on the ground and use the foliage tool and the bush, minimized it to make it look like grass and spread it across the level, I also used the landscape tool to add a cliff and made the landscape more wavy and smooth them out so they can be easy enough to climb, in my opinion that went really well until I found out that unfortunately you have to purchase the downloadable content on the market place if you want to add trees on your level so I already started designing 1 in 3ds max, I will try to come back on 1 of my days off to finish off the tree and do more work so I can be ahead in my project.

Today is the last day for the project, my level is not as how I expected, i finished the tree i was designing last lesson and i added it to my level, also i added a lake, I wanted to make my character interact with it but I ran out of time, we still have 1 more lesson to improve undone work so then I will finish my evaluation.

Micro machines soundtrack project

Today we went around the campus to record sounds for our video, it had to be a 2 min long video, we put it into premier for editing.

Today I planed what soundtracks I will include on my level, I also did a peer review on my classmate to see what soundtracks and sound effects they will include on their level. I just started doing my proposal and next lesson I will try finishing it.

Today I achieved my target on finishing my proposal, next lesson I will start task 4 of my project production.

micro machines review

Today I started designing my track on flash, our assignment was to make a video or animation about our track, at first I wanted to do a video but I haven't finished my track on unreal so I wouldn't be able to put any images about it. My track is inside a studio, making the track and everything else around it was fairly easy but making the DJ deck was the hardest part because it has many buttons to put on the deck, I haven't started animating it yet but next week I will aim to finish making the cars and animate everything.

Today's lesson I didn't have enough time to animate but I got the cars that I needed, next lesson I'll start animating the cars, the deck and the disk tray of the computer tower.

Today I finished creating and animating my deck, it took long because of some mistakes that took long to fix, also I had to fix a glitch in my animation, throughout the week I will finish the track.

My game level design and gameplay

micro machines unit 6

this lesson i started creating my logo, i had to make 2 different logos and pick 1 as your final design, I finished doing it on paper and next lesson I will start recreating it on illustrator.

today i started designing my logo:

To create this logo I used the type tool and then separated the letters from each other, used the pen tool to add curves and edit the word 'rush', i also changed the font style to make it thick. I put an image and lowered the opacity because it was too dark and i couldn't read what was written.


Today I started designing my phone case, I made 3 designs and I had to pick 1, next lesson I will have to do it again on Photoshop or Illustrator.

Today I started designing my phone case on Photoshop, I got an image of an iPhone case outline and put my logo on it, changed the color and made another design to show how my case would look like when you turn the flashlight on, i added  glow around the words and removed the background.

Today i finished my proposal, next lesson i will start and finish my evaluation.


Today I set my target to finish my evaluation, I did not achieve that and since I don't have computer access at home I will have to come in on Thursday or Friday and finish it.
