Game Idea Research

Last week I talk about Games the ideas I like to do, after a bit more thinking, I think I know what idea I'm gonna do and I'm gonna talk about it in this blog. I think the game I would like to recreate is Terraria or at least the boss aspect about it.

I started researching into how would I go about it, Luckily our good old friend Jimmy Vegas has videos about how to create an rpg and more importantly how to create Boss AI. Jimmy Vegas' Video here. This might be able to help me and since this part of a series, the whole series might be able to help !

I also looked into an inventory system for my games, I found a blog about how to add an inventory system, which you can read Here. This will work well with my game, as it helps the player collect and keep items, so they can use them later.

My last mechanic is to a combat system, I look up a tutorials but the weren't many for 3d, I did found this One. Maybe Jimmy Vegas will have a tutorial on it, I'll need to look into it.

So What exactly is my game idea ? Well I was thinking of having a Final Boss that the players need to defeat but is too weak and said boss is all the way on the other side of the map. Maybe by having the map as a maze where the player must find and defeat the final boss.

  1. Hey Sarah,
    I enjoyed reading your blog I like your idea about there being a boss that you have to defeat I also like that you have done research and sketches of what you are thinking of doing in your game I really like the maze part of the game and the fact that you have to go through a maze to find the boss and to defeat them maybe you could add some more obstacles in the maze that the player has to go through to defeat the boss just to make the game more interesting and harder also I would love to know how many levels would be in the game do they have to defeat this boss a few times overall everything you have done so far is really good and is well laid out anyway I will leave it there hope to read more about your game in your other blogs.

Introduction to Me, Myself and I

Hello, I'm Sarah and this my introduction post ! Here's bit of information about me: I live in Dublin, in Ireland and I've live there all my life. I mainly listen to Metal, currently I've been listening to Slipknot newest Album 'We are not your Kind' also known as Vol 6.. If you want a taste of Slipknot, here's a link to 'Unsainted' which is the first song (not counting the intro) on their new album. For Hobbies, I usually write, I've been practising writing over the summer and I think I'm getting better, My English has certainly improved. I'm also a Cub Scout Leader, so I go away on trip with the Cubs, Scouts and Ventures. This year I went away to County Claire and Holland with the Scouts.

I really like travelling around, especially with my camera, my Nikon D5100 with a standard 18-55mm lens and I since I'm studying photography in college I got put in

Game Vision Statement

Vision, it's a powerful thing, I should know, I needed glasses and didn't know I needed them, Now I can't live without them. Anyway, that's not what I'm talking, today I'm gonna be talking about my game and how I envision it. First, My Game will be a first person Action-Adventure game with some debatable RPG elements, I say debatable because now of days many games have RPG mechanics but aren't really RPGs, for example is Far cry 5 an RPG because you get new skills and have an inventory ? The game is mostly based off, Terraria  so the gameplay is very similar to it, you'll need to collect certain items, build up your strength, get stronger and defeat bosses. The big difference is that my game is going to be in 3D while Terraria is a 2D game, I'm not sure in what way that will effect the gameplay as that can effect a game very badly, for example Mega-man X7   and I'll have to be careful not to fall into that "pit-fall" get it ?
