Game design

accumulation of Battlefield's slightly tarnished name needing a break, and EA identifying the rebirth of Star Wars fever. It's natural to approach Battlefront with a cautious look, even more so given DICE's recent track record of broken promises and broken games. As per usual, Battlefront's release has been set-up with a multiplayer Beta. Boasting two multiplayer maps, and a single player/co-op map, there's a fair amount to play through. It's clear that much like past Battlefront titles,…

Animals: Video Games vs Reality Animals have had a vital role in video games from being the main hero/villain to being a food source for others. The animal characters can come from a range of animals. Whether based on fictional or actual animals, the characters usually retain some of its “original” abilities. In this essay, I will be looking at animal characters that are based on real animals and how they compare to each other. The animal characters are usually similar to real-life…

began working on another prototype design. I sent a photo of it to my other teammates so that they would know that we had another design to think about. Had we had more time I would have discussed this design with my teammates and had them help me create the prototype. Our third and final meeting was in the testing room. It was here where we tested out our different designs, landing on the one that combined the two initial designs. Once we had decided to use the design, we made the prototype…

The game of volleyball was invented by William G. Morgan in 1895. All other materials were added, some created, and others improved to fit this newfound mixed sport of “don’t let the ball touch the ground”. The net was borrowed from tennis during the same year, the number of players reduced from the total that all could fit on the court, to nine, and finally to six. Basic rules were established from 1895 up until 1970 and are still subject to change depending on the school or association who…

class. A search on “jobs requiring drafting” pulls up a lot of engineering jobs. There are also a lot of architectural jobs. After a little digging there are a few technical directing or technical design jobs. All of these jobs required an advanced knowledge of drafting. The technical directing and design jobs also required a few other things. The engineering and architectural jobs only required drafting skills, but I am sure it is slightly different than the drafting that we covered class. All…

art and design at the foundation course in Coventry University back in 2009. My hopes were to get accepted in the automotive transport design course there, but as I progressed into the foundation year I realised that I was much more interested in making “print stuff” as I called it back then. During my first year of graphic design at Coventry University, I applied to transfer to LCC straight into year two to get the most out of my student loan and get closer to London and its design scene.…

In a design and build contract an initial contractor is employed by the client, then the contractor is responsible for overseeing both the design and construction phase of a project. The contractor would either have their own in house design team they would use or employ external consultants who would assist in the design phase. A novation agreement is sometimes used in a design and build contract, this is where the client employs consultants to produce their initial design then the same…

information could be proficiently replicated, thus simplifying the dissemination procedure. Print design; however, are fundamentally constrained by their physical nature. Enter the Internet, arguably modern society’s supreme technological advancement, with its ability to digitally re-contextualize the written word. The web generated an outburst in production, self-published content, and fresh forms of machine designs. John Allsopp’s prescient quote “The control which designers know in the print…
