Game Design Document

This week we had to create our Game Design Documents for our games, after reading about what a game design document was, initially I was very confused as I had never heard of them before, and I then had to figure out what I was going to include in my own and what website I would use to design it.

I designed mine on Dundoc. This website was a lot to take in at first, I found it really hard to navigate my way around it and it took me a while to be able to find where I was suppose to be creating my Game Design Document. Eventually I got the hang of it and I was able to create a game design document, I'm still not sure if it is 100% right but I gave it a good go.

    Hey Rachael, I completely understand you understanding of Dundoc. I also found it challenging to navigate around the website, but eventually I got the hang of it. I think your game doc is on the right track. The game doc is a work in progress so just record everything in it.
    Also, I really like the look and feel for your game, i love the colours !
    Hope your game is going well for you !
    Alex.

    Hi Rachael, I think your GDD looks great and i never heard about Dundoc so it is something very useful for me to know for future references . I think I am going to use it myself as well and your idea for your Game is great so hope everything works really well for you and hope to see your Game.

    Hey Rachael, I completely agree about Dundoc. I didnt know how to use it at all when I first went on it but then got the hang of it and I feel now it actually helped me a lot making my GDD. Also thanks for the heads up on how to make it public for everyone. Im just wondering from your game if it is a time limit and a fuel running out? Maybe instead of fuel running out the booster can make you go fast for a few seconds so you reach the end before the time limit? Cant wait to see this come to life and have a go. Kev

(Image Information: personal photo of Me; photo from November 2019.)  My name is Rachael, I'm 19 years old and I was born and raised in Dublin. I'm a year 2 Creative Digital Media student and I have really been enjoying this course so far. One of my favourite modules last semster was Storytelling and Narrative, I really enjoy film and televison and it is something I am interested in for a future career.  Some fun things I did over summer were going on some trips to different counties with my friends, I travelled to Mayo in May with two of my closest friends and then travelled to Armagh in June with a big group of friends, they were both really fun trips. My two favourite TV shows at the moment are Station 19 and The Wilds. My favourite movie that I have seen recently is Dear Evan Hansen, I love musicals so I really enjoyed watching this film. I enjoy mostly all genres of film and TV so I find it easy to find shows and movies that I enjoy. One of my biggest goals for the future

Prototype

Personal Screenshot from my Unity Hub This week I started the prototype on my own game. When I opened up Unity I had no idea where to start, I didn't have much of an idea of how I wanted my scene to look, I just knew I wanted it to have some kind of arcade style to it. To begin, I went into the Unity asset store to see if they had any free assets available that I would be able to use in my game, fortunately they had a lot of assets I will be able to use for my scene. I started out by picking a car that I liked and that fit with my theme and downloaded it and imported it into my Unity. I then looked for some other assets like roads and grass and trees and then added them in to my Unity and created this scene for my game. I have not created any of my scripts yet, I plan to do that for the first playable next week but I am happy with the start I have on my game, I have not run into any difficulties yet, but I suspect that when it comes to coding the game it will become a little bit ha
