Game Testing

  Game Testing playtesting, ( source ) The first piece I read was 7 Different Types of Game Testing Techniques by Niranjan Limbachiya. The gaming industry is growing constantly, and game developers often feel like they need to get their games out faster than other to achieve a better response. But this is not really the smartest move as the consumer has the final decision whether the game was rushed or it wasn't simply ready to come out yet. This can of course lead to major dips in sales for that particular game. So this is why game testing is a vital step in the process as it can catch errors or bugs from a whole new pair of eyes! There are major risks when it comes to game testing, this can be a nervous time for the game developer as it could be simply that their game isn't entertaining enough or unique enough...or it could be down to that their game has poor visuals/audio etc. They need to ensure all these factors are covered before they pass it on for game testing.

My Prototype

 Game Prototype Starting off my prototype was a bit messy at first...I tried many tutorials on how to code a ball to roll but finally found one that worked smoothly for my game. I made sure my ball rolled at just the right pace, not to slow but not too fast. I also ensure it could move left, right, up and down. The next thing I need to do for my prototype is to get my ball to jump. I constructed a sample path for my ball to roll down and it got me very excited to see my vision come to life slowly, but surely! I am looking forward to jumping back into designing my prototype next week and continuing building my game. I have been saving YouTube videos throughout the week that may help me with further steps with my game. Before finishing up this weeks project task, I quickly added textures to my ball and ground just to get a glimpse to what it could possibly look like, but I am not diving into the colours and textures just yet. Here are some screenshots of my prototype: Screenshots of ...

First Playable

  First Playable Game Screenshot What a journey it has been so far... For my game, I knew once I got to grips with the player controllers it was then going to be the start of my designing for my game. In my head I wanted to use light colours for my game and that is exactly what I did. I chose sand colours and light blue colours to add  an element of ease to it. After I completed my tutorial "Roll a Ball" on Unity, I started looking up more YouTube videos to see what else I could add to the basics of my game. I have added sounds to when you pick up gems, I have added a gem counter in the top left corner and I have added a "You Win" icon when you collect all the gems. I will hopefully find a soothing backing track soon for the next steps. Game Screenshot Here is a quick screenshot of my game, so far... As you can see I have added a series of paths and created one large puzzle piece! Some paths have gems, while others have hard obstacles you have to try and overcome. I...
