Hi everyone. Please go and have a look at our campaign on Indiegogo.com. Me and my friend have been working on a new game and its still in early stages. The name of the game as you can see is Hermetica and it centres around alchemy.

Min’atoa: The Story

Ideation week 

Ideation week was: “come up with a bunch of ideas, not just one”, so that we didn’t get fixated on one idea. It was amazing to see how easy it was to generate a bunch of ideas, with the pressure of having to pitch our best three to the class on Friday. 

Next week was choose which one idea to “work on for 6 months of your life”. 

This was a terrifying prospect. It really puts into perspective the true cost of making a game. Not money, not tools, not self esteem but… my life, that I can’t get back. The “opportunity cost” of that six months. 

6 months is a strange deadline. It’s good that its finite, not falling into the trap of fiddling around making a game for years. As with gamejams, deadlines force faster decisions, brutal choices eg simpler mechanics, reuse of assets. 

On the other hand, its quite a long time: seductively long. I saw the previous class aim for too big a game, very ambitious, and yet its so long it takes the pressure off. And six months “of my life” is a not a trivial commitment. What else could I do with that time? If I invested that time in learning Houdini, formal coding theory, Substance Painter, Zbrush, even Illustrator. What price six months? 

My goal is to make games for working people, people who are stressed out enough in their lives and want to relax. My ideas were::

Idea 1: colour puzzle game, with additive and subtractive colour mixing: 

could include light bending into rainbows, and liquids mixing and flowing, to escape a room.

Idea 2: narrative game (the rest of the blog will cover this)

Idea 3: creative sandbox game, where you

collect extinct plant fossils, revive them as viable seeds, plant and nurture teeming gardens to bring life back to a barren island, post your results.

Idea 4 Massive Lost in the dark, procedural cave  

Challenge areas: run out of air, falling rocks, flood, completely dark 

Dragon hoard with intelligent dragon; cave beings (burrowing, mining)

Idea 5 reality TV music game

design music acts, perform them, select your top four acts to mentor, pit them against three other teams for public votes weekly until a winner. 

Idea 6: Abstract art splashy game; 

Mix paint splashes in different 3D splot shapes and textures, (brush strokes) colour gradients 

add stamps and sparkles; share on Social media

Pitch week

I chose the narrative game concept. I’ve had it in mind for ages, written background story over the last two years.

I wrote the story beats in sticky note form into a linear timeline then added red (spoilers) orange (misdirection or mild spoilers) and green (general background) tags so I could work out which bits would go in which locations in the game. 

I then typed out the story beats into a paper prototype using A4 pages for each game location, and playtested it on a couple of people. The playtesters LOVED it, but then, they’re mates.

I got generous pointers from actual game narrative designers and authors: Turns out, narrative is a complex arcane skill that writers hone over years. Note to self:  “You know nothing, Jon Snow”. Ygritte from GoT (George RR Martin Esq).

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread. I have a habit of optimistically tackling I things I know nothing about. I’ve written maybe three cool short stories; my experience is policy papers and scientific writing.

But my Daily Dream Machine and Trello lists don’t lie: I’m staring down the barrel of a 5 July deadline for alpha in Unity 3D. My hard earned Min’atoa station (Unity 2019) crashes in Unity 2018; no time for embarrassment! I grabbed some old assets, made textures from screenshots of typed up story bits, pasted them onto cubes and presto! Mocked up notes, signs, posters and books. 

I made 2D UI textures for the up close, and even found a free ‘book’ plug-in (2D UI with turnable pages) in the Asset store.

Without further ado, here’s a sneak peek - the WIP of the alpha. Already you can pick up readables and unlock doors and drawers. How exciting dear fans!

Until next time, toodle pip!

BStG #05 - Alpha Testing

Hey there!

Another post today, how about that? This is just a heads up that I was delayed today with sorting the tutorial out. But it is all good because it was for testing and feedback!

All of the guys in my class are going to take the time to give some valuable feedback on the Alpha version of the game. We are all doing a good batch of Alpha testing today, and we are all trying to help each other out as much as possible.

Over the next few days I may organise setting up a short round of public open-access alpha testing via the website www.barstaffthegame.com so I can get some early, outside feedback on the project.

The tutorial is still going get some serious work today, and hopefully the full tutorial will be available over the weekend!

I hope you are all enjoying the journey so far, Have a good one now!

It was worth staying up until 5AM to play this #H1Z1 #EarlyAccess #AlphaBuild (at Edison, NJ)
