Rationale

During last year I acquired skills that in my opinion are going to help me in this year project, the skills that I fell more confident in our coding and map design and the skills that I’m looking for to improve our modeling with 3DSMAX and I know all these skills are going to help me with my future career.

The course helped me a lot by developing the skills that need to create a game, now I feel more confident than when I started the course. I am really interested mainly in modelling because I like the fact that with enough knowledge I can be able to create anything that comes from my imagination and that fascinates me, but also because modeling is one of the first things that you see in a game or a trailer and that created interest in a game or keep them coming back to enjoy the game.

In my future, I would really like to be a prop modeler because I really like to shape the in-game world to create a really immersive experience for players.

Project Concept 

My group project is going to be a problem-solving game in a dystopian space station, and you have to survive in the meanwhile you are traveling to reach the control room.

The player will wake up from his cryo pod at the beginning of the game, after that, he will discover that the space station has been hacked and some parts of the station are inaccessible, after that the player will need to solve some problem to get access to a certain area.

We got the ideas from the film Aliens but also from the movie Passenger where the ship broke down.

In the game I’m going to make the exterior part of the space station and the HUD and for make these things I will use 3DSMAX for the modeling of the exterior because I think it’s the best program but also because will be making the modeling I will make practice and improve my skills in 3DS, for the HUD I’m thinking about using photoshop.

But before starting everything I’m going to watch a lot of tutorials and practice my 3DSMAX skills so I will also be able to help my team in a better way through our game project.

Evaluation

Most of the development is going to be shared on WordPress all the changes, improvement, update and decisions are going to be documented on our blog but we will also use other sites such as SurveyMonkey for creating a survey and asking other person opinions about our game while we are developing it.

I will also use Facebook to share some ideas of concept art and listen to comment and ask suggestion, I think that the fact about working in a team can create advantage but also so little disadvantage at the same time for example is going to be easier for everybody because every person have a different part of the project but also little disadvantage such as not be able to make something without asking what the other members think about or how to make it look like because everyone should be happy about it.
