Week 2

After speaking to the Wayne i have managed to narrow it down to three possible possibilities that I could do for my project and got rid of two. The reason I Scrapped the following ideas of Web base games is because i don't like coding and i was told that the web base games are built around coding which is one of my weak points and i really struggle with coding. Also I've never done Web base gaming before so i feel like i will struggle very much, I would like to of done the web base games but its the coding side that's put me off them ideas. However the three ideas that have stayed are a 3D game, Animation and Robot with phone connectivity.

Ideas i'm Keeping

3D Game

The main idea i'm very strongly going towards is the 3D game. 

The reason is because i love gaming and i did a game last year and i really enjoyed it after getting to know what i'm doing. The type of game i would love to make is hopefully a game like Destiny. The reason i have chosen Destiny is because its an open world game set into different locations round space and the ability to level up and kill different enemies over time also side missions along side the main missions.

Another reason why i have chosen to make a game like destiny is because of the sandbox scenery they have managed to create the perfect scenery for the type of environment and felling they were going for and i want to try recreate this and put my skills into a bigger project. 

With the game i would be adding a survival feature where there are loads of enemies around the world also with the ability of collecting items while having to survive but also i will try to implement an exp system while killing enemies but having to also trying not to die in the process. I really feel passionate towards trying to remake a game i really enjoy playing but i don't fell like i would be able to crate my own characters which i fell will be where i struggle at with this type of project. I fell like i have the skills to be able to crate the game because i have resources already from last year that i have still and i have more knowledge on the software and how to crate games.

If i was going to create this game for my project i would try and implement away of the AI try and attack you if they see if, also i would like to try add a few ideas into it for example parkour, maze and possibly missions/ rewards for collecting items.  

The following images are from Destiny the game the top image is from Destiny 2 and the bottom image is from Destiny 1. I have chosen these two images because of the sensory and when playing the games i actual get immersed within the destiny game because of this exact reason and with all the items to collect and the mass areas to explore. I have been playing the game since launch day and there is still things waiting to be found (items/guns) and new places to explore.

Creating Robot and linking to phone

The reason i have kept this idea is because its hands on, that's the way i learn also with it being hands on i will enjoy it more because i can build the robot but also have the ability to be able to try hook it up to my phone. Am not really passionate with this idea or the thought of actually being able to get it to work. I would like a challenge but after looking abit more into this their are quite a few people already done this and looks like not the type of thing that i wouldn't be able to cope with and not be able to do without watching YouTube videos on how others have done it.

However i like the idea of being able to do it but also make me be able to do something different prepared to things i have already done. 

I have looked up a few tutorials on how people have took on the task and i'm in two minds because some look every easy by watching them and some look hard and i feel like i may not take me the full year to be able to do this depending on how i tackle it and if i have any problems in the process. 

Here are some of the links i have looked at to try help make my decision about this idea:

• World’s Top 20 Robotics Project Ideas

• Android Phone Controlled Robot

• Voice control

• BB8 robot

Crate an animation 

The last idea that i have kept is to be able to crate an animation this is one that am less motivated in doing is because am not very creative and this is an area that am very weak in and have hardly any knowledge within that sector. Also i believe that i will struggle loads with being able to create an short peace of animation. However that is the reason that i picked this idea as one of the ideas am taking through to my final pick of ideas as I've only ever done it once apart of my level 3 year 2 and i didn't enjoy it. Another reason i have chosen this as one of my final ideas is because it gives me the ability to learn new skills/ software that i wouldn't normal use.Also i have chosen this is because i like to watch animated things such as Wallace and Gromit.
