During this project I developed following skills
- Create a creative gameplay and level design
- Create prototype by the asset given
- UI / UX suit to the game feel and reach the requirement from the feedback
- Ensure that the game flow maintains the original settings
- Create the enemy attack pattern
Challenge that the team face
The first challenge is from the person who put forward the idea of this game, and he can't decide the game direction and keep changing the game idea. Therefore, both of the designer help to create a basic setup of the game to let him decide the gameplay that had in his mind. And we take more time to re-pitch the ideas and come out this idea.
Second challenge that we had face is miscommunication and skill limitation. At start of the production, we just informed and handed it to another person without explanation. Because we all thought that when we discussed, everyone already knew the idea of the game. Few week has pass, the designer had realize that most of the work does not pass back to us, so We went to ask the other team members and check their progress. Then we just know that, some of them can't to make it the things that we had discuss before and some of them even does not start the progress. This all of the problem make our project delay. The way to recover miscommunication is only more communicate in between members to make sure all members are at the same page from time to time.
The biggest problem that I had face in the production is the designing the map and level. Cause our place setting is in Hong Kong and this is my first time to create a map that related to the real world. other that, I also don't have any knowledge to the place and does not have any idea to create the world. At the beginning, I go to online research about the place layout and building, but I still can't create the level similar to the real world. After that, I talk to the lecture about the problem I encounter and I get the feedback "the world layout does not need similar to the real world, just make the layout feel like in Hong Kong".
