This week. I am going to talk about basic mechanism of the Game. It is quite important to understand what good and bad rules in the Game and what exactly attracts your potential users of the Game. 

In most of the cases layouts of the Game is important as this is the first thing that catches users and make them think to start playing Game. 

Basic rules like mechanism of the Game: what a player can do in your Game like walk, run, turn left and right, jump over, fly, dive and so on, also what mechanics affected by the player, and which one is affected by some background options. 

Combining mechanics and aims in the Game together puts a player into an emergency behavior and creates dynamics of the Game. 

Narrative and challenges are part of the Game that fulfill the whole picture of it and trigger and pushes a player to certain actions. 

All those aspects are in game designer's mind when started working on developing Game.

    Hi Svetlana

    I really enjoyed reading your blog post. I find it so interesting how inducing certain mechanics can create the overall game dynamic. I don't know about anyone else, but reading all of this and doing unity work makes me have so much respect for game developers. You explained all of this so well in your blog. Hope all is well with you

                                                                                   Hi,My name is Svetlana and welcome to my Multimedia development blog. I am from Moscow, Russia, but have been living in Ireland for the last 20 years. Studying at The Third Level was always my dream, but I had to wait for the right moment. My son was a professional tennis player and It was a full time job for me, so I said to myself, when I am free , I am studying and here I am in TU Dublin and I love it. Hope you will enjoy my blog and I will learn how to do it properly. I am a very creative person and have lots of hobbies, not sure whether it is a good or bad thing ;) My main hobby is learning new things, that is probably why CDM was my choice. I love photography and believe I am pretty good at this.  I do commercial photoshoots from time to time and love working with models and creative make-up artists.  Web design and everything connected to it as well are my favourite things.

  my image This  week,  I figured out how to use Unity asset library and how to create a scene that I wou ld like to have as a platform for my game. So now my player is moving side to  side,  I have quite realistic  forest with trees, I also know what I am doing next week. For next week I would like to place a proper player  not just a  cylinder  that is  moving,  then I will organise falling objects from the  sky, I know what code to  apply,  so it is  going  to be just coding next  week,  so I hope my game will be working next week and all I  must  d o is to clean code and double check whether everything works.   T hat is my plan for next week.

Game Design Document

Project Design Document           I would like to present my first  Project  Design Document for the Multimedia Module  that is aimed to help me to be able to prepare a well  organised  plan and get me ready when it comes to  start developing my first game      Why do we need to create Project Design  Document?   Preparing all the documentations ready before you start designing your game  is normally thought to be the most boring part of Game Design, even  game designers mention it in their tutorials, but it does not have to be. The well organised  Project Design Document can help you and your team to have a better  understand  what you are expected to. Produce at the end  of the  entire process . It can speed up your  work and  avoid the obstacles that can appe ar during Design.  So,  referring to your Document can be a quite useful tool .       Project Design  Document Sections:     The name of the Game   Location   Back story   Obstacles   Objects   Sound   Goals   Unique aspects
