Project Part 02: Short Treatment

 

Test Model For Possible Player Character

Introduction

"Polygondawanaland: The Video Game" is a fan made adaptation of the classic album King Gizzard album of the same name. The game aims to use trippy visuals and fun gameplay to pair with the music of the album creating an entirely new experience for both music fans and video game fans.

Background

In this game, you play as Kenny the Lizard Wizard as he journeys through Crumbling Castles and Deserted Dunes as he makes his way to his enchanted homeland known only as Polygondawanaland. Along his journey the player will have the Lizard Wizard avoid many harmful obstacles.

Monday 05th May 2022- Final Game


Description

You begin the game in the Crumbling Castle, as the song of the same name plays, Kenny must make his way out of the castle jumping over obstacles all the while increasing his high score, if th player manages to reach the end of the castle he will make it to level 2. Level 2 is a desert level which is accompanied by the song "Deserted Dunes Welcome Weary Feet". Level 3 is when players finally reach Polygandawanaland and discover it to be a fantastical land filled with psychedelic imagery all taking inspiration from the lyrics to the song.

Key Features

Fun and Simple Gameplay: Anyone who has played the Dinosaur game on Google can attest to the addictive and fun gameplay of the game, this is the same gameplay experience we hope to capture with our game.

Great Soundtrack: The album "Polygandawanaland" by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard will accompany the player as they play through the game. This album was released into the public domain and is therefore free to use.

Fun Visuals: This game aims to present the player with a truly psychedelic experience, players should feel that they have had a chilled experience at a Grateful Dead concert after playing.

Genre

Side Scroller.

Platform

This game will only be available to play on P.C as it as I doubt I would be able to liscence the game onto PlayStation, Nintendo or Xbox Consoles. The control scheme is quite simple however so porting will be an easy thing to do should the opportunity present itself.

Resources Required

I plan on creating all character models, obstacles and backgrounds in Adobe Illustrator and then will create the final game in Unity.

Project: Beta

  https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/we-are-in-the-endgame-now First things first I just wanna say, screw you Unity Hub, I had been trying to actually get to my game for the past week but as you guys may have seen in my last post, Unity Hub didn't want to admit that I had a licence to use it. So I uninstalled it and installed a newer version onto my laptop and boom, I'm back in business. First things first I spruced up the player character model by creating textures in unity and aplying them to a free Solid Snake asset I got off that website a few weeks back, heres the final result.   I know it's no Kratos in God of War 4 in terms of graphical quality but I was trying to go for a classic ps1 pixely aesthetic which I think translates pretty well into the final product. I also made a few textures for buildings and signs in illustrator and imported them into the game to make it a bit less Alpha and a lot more Beta. I also implemented a few voice lines that play at the start and en

Introduction to me

 Hey, Hows it going?  I'm Matthew, my friends call me Mac because I remind them of Mac from Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia and to be honest it kinda feels weird to be called anything else nowadays. I'm 22, doing Creative Digital Media in TU Dublin in Blanchardstown (duh) and I work in Cineworld in town. I play a few instruments and I'm in a band with a few of my mates from Secondary School, we did some gigs and we were doing pretty good until Covid started and we couldn't play live anymore but hey, its a hobby. At the start of Covid I started painting little space dudes for the craic but now I'm in severe debt from buying so much from the Warhammer shop that I've asked my girlfriend to punch me everytime I try go anywhere near it. My Favourite Movies are Jurassic Park, The Big Lebowski, The Lord of the Rings (all 3) and Army of Darkness. I like alot of music but I guess my favourite type of music would be rock music, I like bands like Ween, Rush and King Gizza

First Playable

  Screenshot of First playable version. To quote Jeff Goldblum in my absolute favourite film of all time, "You did it, You crazy Son of a B**** You did it".  Thats right, I have made a halfway decent stealth game. I've built up the game from my prototype, introducing a GameWin state and a GameLose state to the game, meaning the player now has a goal and things stopping him from reaching that goal.  This is the winning Message. This is the Game Over Screen. I replaced the cube with a Solid Snake character asset to show who the player is, this is only a placeholder for the moment. I found the asset on  this website if your interested, they provide some really cool free assets for games. There are now multiple Guards following diverse paths making sneaking past them a bit tricky. Buildings can be used to take cover behind. The White square at the top of the screen symbolises the cell where Rolands target is located so thats here the game ends at the moment. The boss fight m
