Assignment 1 (James)

The Space Bear Project

The vision for this game I have is to make it enjoy, a bit random and funny. Inside the game there is going to be set goals which the player has to do to progress to the next level. An example of this is the flag that is place in every level this is an icon indicating to the player that they have to reach this objective.

Pre-Production-What is it?

“Work done on a product, especially a film or broadcast programme, before full-scale production begins.”

Pre-Production requirements:

     

           

     Make a Production Schedule:

·       Crew Up

·       Find and secure Locations

·       Casting

·       Make a Storyboard

Pre-Production

Pre-production is the process of fixing some of the elements involved in a film, play, or other performance. There are three parts in production: pre-production, production, and post-production. Pre-production ends when the planning ends and the content starts being produced.

Finance

The management of large amounts of money, especially by governments or large companies.

-The finance in my game is very low because I’m am using the software called game maker which is a free service for small game developers. This software help to put their games out there however after production yoyo games will take a sum out of the money made from your game, depending if you made any.

Time Constraints

In law, time constraints are placed on certain actions and filings in the interest of speedy justice, and additionally to prevent the evasion of the ends of justice by waiting until a matter is moot.

-Video games get to have the most fun with constraints. In the virtual world, physical constraints like gravity and time can be mutable. The variability of them is a part of why actions in video games are often exhilarating, and why gamers sometimes think that games are better than life. In life you are restricted by your body, but in Pilot wings you can fly. That’s inherently powerful.

Personnel

People employed in an organization or engaged in an organized undertaking such as military service.

-The personnel in my game will be just me because there aunt any roles that are too difficult, so it would save me money also because I wouldn’t need to pay salary for my employees because i wouldn’t need any.
