Games Stories

 In this blog i will be covering my thought on what i have read through regarding stories in games and how they make a big difference.


Let's all agree that nowadays games based purely on multiplayer game modes are great and all but you have to admit in the end a game with a good Campaign / Story mode always comes out on top. 

Me personally i play more multiplayer games than i would story mode games but i can always appreciate a good Story line.

This website here really did help me get a clear understanding about it all.

I never really thought about how important story lines are. As a competitive person i tend to always rush straight into the multiplayer side of games and never really seemed to play much story modes. The two games i always had time to appreciate their story lines were the Call Of Duty story line and the Gears Of War story line.

These two i enjoyed because their stories were always a continuation till the next game , and like a TV series it kept you entertained and wanting to continue onto the next game for it's story.

Right above here you have a game that contains my favorite story mode from any game "Gears Of War".

This game was a third person shooter which contained a variety of game modes. From its multiplayer to its survival mode this game has to have one of the most enjoyable , heartfelt action packed story lines out of any game i have ever played. The story features an insane worldwide war going on between the humans and a alien like force. What made this game even greater is the fact the story mode allowed multiplayer so that you could carry out the story by yourself or with a friend.

Read more about this right here.


In my readings i came across a website that broke down and explained the importance of a Story within a game and how is can be designed differently.

Some story line games are controlled and set to give you various decisions that all still seem to lead towards the same end , allowing the player to think they are in control but still meeting the same ends.

Other story lines such as the games i mentioned above only offer one story line and you just play it out clearing missions and checkpoints. 

Checkout this website to find out how story lines play a bigger roll and how they can be manipulated by the creator.

Introduction

 Introduction Good afternoon, My name is Mohammed(Moe) and today I am going to be talking a little about myself so that you can have an idea who I am. My full name is Mohammed Saw and I am a 2nd year student in Tud. I am a 22 year old student and I go to college whilst working a part time job. On the side I tend to do many different things , making YouTube videos being the biggest one.  I have been editing videos for close to 4 years and I could say that I have really found it to be one of my greater hobbies. After some time I decided to create my own channel where I post various different videos for all moods and vibes.  Here is a link to go check out my channel -  https://www.youtube.com/c/IAmSpyro Unfortunately for me I am repeating the module again this year so with that being said I think my most enjoyable module was the digital video module. It touched on many different things and featured a completely different editing software that I had never used before , but it was definitel

My Project Prototype (First Playable)

  In this blog i am going to be discussing my recent experience creating my project game in Unity Hub. As i have talked about in my recent blogs Unity is something i find very difficult but yet quite fun at the same time. This week i finally got my Project up and running and i must say i am very glad to have done so. At first i came in pretty scared about what to do and how i was going to start off this project. Unsure and unaware i remembered everything i would need to build the game was already taught to me through the tutorials and all that was left was for me to find the right guide and i was ready to go. (Screenshot directly from my Unity project) This is a screenshot on how far i have come from the beginning of my project. When i began this project i knew that there was two things i needed. The game mechanics and the props. The rest i could pilot through the tutorial videos done beforehand. So going ahead anyways i was able to create the key fundamentals needed for this game to w

Game Idea Research

  Game Idea Research Now that we are here i want to talk to you about what i have decided going forward in my project. I wish to carry out and endless game for my project.  If you did not get to see my Game Brainstorm Blog where i talked about all my ideas basically what i mean by and endless game is a game that has no end and runs on high score to make up for not having an event to look forward too. A well known example of this as mentioned before are our very own "Temple Run" and "Subway Surfer". I chose this because growing up i was a very competitive type gamer and did not really care much for beating levels and getting to the end of the game but rather pushing myself to beat high scores whether it be online or against my friends score. So i think it's only fitting i create one of my own.  (Image from  here ) The game mechanics i have thought would work great for this are the mechanics of Subway Surfer as it has all the necessary moving mechanics needed to p
