Project update - 31/01/2019

In this week I have managed to get some basic horror blueprints working.
This includes having a camera that the player can use to record footage of the game and to be able to use night vision. I've also created a slightly simpler version of this character as I know some of my levels wont have a camera and might have a flashlight or something similar.

I've blueprinted some flashing lights, so that one; they blink and two they can be activated if triggered or by an action.

Health and stamina have been added and can be filled back up by eating.

I've also done a simple level outline of where I'm planning of having my level

For the following week I will be working on finalising the characters functions and should also have a better looking level> Which I'll show on the next "project update" post

Project Update - 24/01/2019

This week I have managed to re-download all of the necessary software for my project and I have manged to get a basic main menu which works.
As I'm planning to duplicate all game controls for each of my levels I know that my plan will be to finish off the main menu then jump straight into the level design and controls.

I'm aware that I'm behind schedule and for that reason if I focus on a basic template for my level then focus on the blueprints I'm sure that I will get it done on time.

Thought process:
Give more time on blueprinting - positive: working game, less errors could include other important effects in the game such as sounds and animations
And if I run out of time at least I have a decent looking game that is working

So my plan for creating my project has slightly changed and instead ive given myself longer on blueprinting and shorter on designing.

Project Report - 10/01/2019

Today I have been working on my blackjack game and my Task 1 and 2 on Web application.

Project:
Originally, I had finished working on my Main menu and started working on the format on one of my levels. However, I lost my external hard drive that had my work on it, causing me to be behind in work. I had to wait for the 08/01/2019 for a new one to arrive. This is the reason i haven't been able to progress through my project all through December. I'm planning on working on my project this weekend 12/13th to get back to where i was and stay on track.

As I have previously done game design I am confident that I will get this project complete. So I will not change anything about my project.
