Issues with the production of the game

 NOTICE:

With permission, I have allowed to proceed with the project on my own as a pitch.

As the months have passed, a significant number of issues have occurred that led to the group project becoming a solo one. This would prevent the chance of creating a game however there are a number of reasons for this.

COMMUNICATION + ATTENDANCE:
These are a few examples of the attempts made by me to communicate. I can acknowledge that I hadn't been communicating much with the team for a while due to personal reasons but that is not entirely the case.

I didn't address it, however no one from the group but myself would show up to the classes where groups were necessary to collaborate verbally in a working environment.



Words were said, however even after addressing that people should make an effort to show up, no one had. This impacted work flow greatly and my own motivation to collaborate with those I never see.











To add to this, a member had dropped out a number of weeks ago who was in charge of the story boarding.
The lead UI has not been seen since last year.
The Lead of research hadn't been heard from in weeks from a time so the work flow was already somewhat halved or handled by the rest.

These are the reasons for going solo with the project as I have already shown my collaborative efforts in the previous pitch according to Rachel. I will focus on presenting my research as the class has assigned and my own part as the 2D Art Lead.

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...
