retro controllers

The retro-inspired 8Bitdo SN30 Pro controller is compatible with Switch, Windows, Mac OS, Android and 8Bitdo Retro Receivers! The Gamepad is wireless Bluetooth and has USB C connection, rumble function, motion controller support, and players LED indicator. - overall i think from the look of this the controller would be very comfortable to use

Hyperkin has recreated the original Xbox controller aka "Duke" As an officially Xbox-licensed controller, compatible with the Xbox One family of devices and Windows 10 PCs. my veiw is the same i feel this would be comfortable as well, and what i think is unique about this it the size its very large for a controller even back when it first came out

Quick mode Switch at the back, no need for combination buttons to power on. Extra 2 pro-level back buttons which can be easily remapped or profiled via ultimate software. A dedicated profile button with corresponding indicator lights, optimized grips to be more comfortable what i see is unique is the hand grips as they point down,

The controller features a total of six digital buttons, two staggered analog sticks, a directional pad and two hybrid analog and digital triggers. The primary analog stick is on the left, with the D-pad below it

Take your game to the next level with Hall Effect analog sticks to provide 3D Controller support for compatible titles on the SEGA Saturn with the console receiver. You can also take the controller to USB-enabled consoles or devices to keep that familiar feel with your favorite games. Utilize modern features such as four shoulder buttons, Home and Select buttons, and button macros for additional features

Media and techniques

Evaluative section on the media and techniques that were used and explored in your project. What did you learn? How did research help this? How did these techniques meet your proposal?

Throughout the main timeline i used unreal engine 5.3 to build and create the game using photoshop to create a very simple hud, and using sketch fab for weapon models and the desk in the main menu, within the game one thing i was able to get a grasp on was the ammo counter which is displayed by the weapons ammunition which with each shot the bar/mag disappeared until reloaded

Purpose / theme / concept

Evaluative section: the thought processes and the way you solved problems. The creative journey and the decisions you made to meet the context and theme of your project. What did you need to change or explore to make sure you hit the themes of your proposal? Did you need to alter your idea or direction / outcome?

There is much more i'd love to of added and based from the police academy film the strip i wanted to have rows of houses, bars, sheriffs building a nice little rural western village, i did need to alter a few of my ideas from the original pitch like with the strip not being a town like build but also the CQB was meant to be a hospital type building and you would clear each room and hallway, if i had more time i would have gotten it to those standards maybe even more textured

Outcome

Evaluative section on the final product. Did you meet your expectations? Does your outcome fulfil the project that you set and meet your FMP brief?

I somewhat met my expectations i did not get most of what i wanted between poor time management to just getting stuck on one item for longer than i should, there are some spots where i got everything i set out to do which i am happy about but the main proposal i think was not fully met

Conclusion

Evaluative section on the processes of evaluation, feedback and peer assessment. On reflection how you could have improved your project and what could you have done to support the improvements needed. What have you learnt and what do you need to make sure you do next time to improve your project?

I could improve on my skills by better time management and focusing on items for a certain time there are many things that could be improved from the hud, to weapons and even the textures and targets,
