Expressive Game Design

The second prototype was also  built in a group of three which included me, Rob and Oliver. For this, we decided to create the pong game but wanted to add something more unique to it. We used P5js as it has a speech library which allowed us to implement a feature that looks and analyses voices. So when the uses speaks and says up, the bar moves up and when the user says down, the bar moves down. This is how the user controls the bar and uses this to play the game.  

The first prototype was built in a group of three which included me, Rob and Oliver. For this, we decided to create a 3D environment in a first person perspective where the user is able to pick up objects and done this using Unity. The goal for this game would be to create something that is similar to cleaning a house that has to be done in a certain period of time. We were not able to complete the entire game the way we wanted it but the overall idea for it is interesting.  

I decided to come up with some ideas for a game which could then lead to me using for the final project. I am not entirely sure if I will use this idea for my final project but is something I am interested in using maybe later on for the prototype to see how it turns out. Something that is personal to me is football and more specifically, Liverpool FC. I have supported Liverpool for most of my life and has played a major part in it. They were once the most successful club in England but have failed to win the league title for the past 30 years coming up short on many occasions.  This year however might be the year they finally win the title as they are currently 22 points clear meaning it is almost certain they will win it. I have an idea for a game in which I use this experience of supporting a football club through it’s worst times and how all these moments make the good times that much better and the euphoria you feel from seeing your club be successful. ...
