Final Project Proposal

For my final project will be based on 2D strategy game. It's inspired by our previous assignment "Asteroids" and the game that I'm currently playing called "Deep Space Waifu".
I'll be using the following links to help me make my game:

TUTORIAL

  • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEb4gzG8S24&index=1&t=0s&list=PLhIbBGhnxj5IcGWhJQNF5hScmCCn4M3xg

I will be putting some of my own ideas, such as adding in more colors (neon) and adding in music background (1990's music), 'Game Over' and 'Restart' screen. 

TIMELINE

In Class:
  • May 16: Working on proposal & sprite afterwards
  • May 22 - 24: Hopefully getting started with coding my sprites, adding in my other assets
  • May 28 - 30: Continuing coding, and fixing errors
  • June 1 - 5: Add in new assets (sounds)
  • June 7 - 11: Continuing coding, and fixing errors
  • June 13: Re-check everything (coding, assets, and mbg) or possibly add in something new (lives, deaths, level ups)
  • June 15: Finish before end of class or before 12 am
Out of class: 

It really depends if  I have spare time, because I have a lot of homework to deal with. But if I do have spare time, I'll work on my game for 1-2 hours then to my other home works then back to 1-2 hours of configuring my game.

EDIT:
Since there are about 3 more classes until this project is due, I might stay in lunch or after school to finish it, and maybe publishing it late (because of my messy ideas).

GameMaker - Asteroids Part C

What difficulties did you have? 
  • I had difficulties with coding the game. Such as coding for each objects to do certain action.


How did you solve them?
  • If I had any problems with the game, I just rewind the tutorial video and experiment around. The part where you add in the Game Over title and the Lifespan/Scoring, I struggled because I did exactly like the tutorial, but I've asked for help and it worked fine.


What did you change in your game to make it unique? How do these changes affect gameplay?

  • I didn't exactly change anything, because again I'm not entirely comfortable or confident working with GameMaker Studio 1.4. But if I use a different software that I'm comfortable with, I might have done slightly different. I like making games that are colorful and neon-like and adding music background. That might be something I can change.

Final Project - Complete
