Building Alliances: Cave Tour


 Our team had decided to take a trip to the caves local to us within Nottingham in the form of a tour.

On our journey, we travelled below the tracks with many tourists and had learnt a multitude of things set as far back as the 1700s. One fact being that the caves are typically found when construction is being done below a house for perhaps a basement, explaining the bricks being seen underground to coverup the caves and each year more unexplored territory below Nottingham is being discovered and logged for researchers.


From what we say, there were small holes on the ceiling on the caves. We had been notified that it was suspected that people would be planning not-so legal activities or talking about things they weren't allowed to. In the buildings above which could possibly be a bar perhaps, children would be on the lookout for authorities and if one appeared, they'd drop a stone to alert to people they work for so they can make their escape. 

 
These caves were used as shelters during the wars, once the sirens would go off, the civilians would make their way below to keep safe and follow the protocols. Practice evacuations were done to ensure the safety of the people which did lead to the death of a few people due to small accidents such as slipping on steps and hitting their head however this ensured that no one else would succumb to the same fate when real bombs would be dropped.

Forge Fathers

Image
 The Forge Fathers, one of the galaxy's oldest empires, defend their Star Realm with unmatched weapons and armour. Stoic and patient, they outlast and outgun foes, forcing them to retreat rather than fight. As for my idea for this character, I want to depict the ferocious strength of the forge fathers and their capablilities to drive their forces away. So, I figured I'd take inspiration from TOM CLANCY'S RAINBOW SIX SIEGE. A game where different operators are needed for different functions to breach into the building. My character will wield a sledge hammer as it's primary melee weapon that can be used to break down surfaces and breach a whole new pathway. Whether it be a building or a barricade. The purpose is the force the enemy to retreat due to the dangers.

Real Worlds: Research Dossier

 SWOT ANALYSIS: Strengths: Fast & Fun Gameplay – Streamlined third-edition rules make it easier to learn and play in under an hour, great for casual and competitive players. Unique Terrain System – Uses a modular, cube-based setup that creates immersive, 3D battlefields with tons of tactical options. Great Value Starter Set – The two-player set includes miniatures, terrain, and rulebooks, making it easy to jump into the game. Weaknesses: Tricky Mini Assembly – Some models are fiddly to put together, and instructions aren’t always clear, which can frustrate new players. Setup Takes Time – While gameplay is fast, assembling terrain and creating force lists can slow down the experience, especially for newcomers. Opportunities: Digital Tools – A mobile app for list-building, rules reference, or even AR features could streamline setup and gameplay. Stronger Community Engagement – More organized play, online events, and community-driven content could attr...

Real Worlds: Project Management

BRIEF: You will be working with Mantic Games in exploring the idea of translating their tabletop IP  Deadzone  into a digital sphere.  The project will consist of two parts - character design and environment design, and you will have the opportunity to explore whether to respond in 2D or 3D for each of these, presenting yourself as a specialist or generalist. More detail on the differences between these approaches can be found later in this handbook. The quick turn-around for the two elements of this project is reflective of the nature of the industry. Translating a tabletop wargame into digital might seem, on the surface, like a no-brainer, however there is scope to explore a variety of game genres - from 4X, FPS, ARPG, Narrative-driven adventure, Tactics & RTS. There are also numerous examples of tabletop games which have been faithfully translated into digital using Tabletop Simulator. Part of your research will involve evaluating and analysing the efficacy of...
