roles

my intimal role was to be a level designer but when I found out that the levels were being made by some one else I started to become a modeller. making a lot of the assets for each of the levels like trees, buildings, hazards etc.
so I mainly model a lot of different version of the models I was asked to make I also made some other models I thought we might used. like some assets that weren't need to play the game but could make it look better or more realistic environment like benches and light posts in cities and rocks and vines in a forest.

interview

The job that I applied for in this project is level designer. I chose to be a level designer because the requirements for the job suited more of the skills that I had.
some of the requirements were that you are able to use Unity3D software to make the levels them selves. I had to make sure that the models were suitable size wise and pole count to keep the game running at its max capacity. I also have to work closely with coder so that new functions can be implemented. I also have to know how a 2D or 3D game is made and the aspects of them so that the levels are optimised to the best of my abilities

there were a few things that were wrong with my resume one was I used to make abbreviation with out saying what they meant and not being clear on some of the information that I provided to them

after the interview process there a few things that I should of done or not said in the first place one of the things were that I told them that I can get distracted easily. which is one thing you shouldn't say to an interviewer. I was also told that I was to ridged when i was sitting down and not moving enough.

pitch2

Treacherous path is an extreme 2D platform with a twist. like the tile implies there are multiple paths to take as you progress throughout the game one getting more dangerous as the game goes on. then the other paths will start getting harder as well but not as much as the other path

In each level you will have to get to the end of the level by take one of to paths a longer but less dangerous or a short and deadly path and you get more points depending on which path you take only if you win in a certain time period that is stated at the start of the level.

Pitch

The game that I pitched was called Treacherous path  it was a 2D platformer game
 the below pictures are level ideas I had for different levels of the game



 











I came up with original idea for this game because it seemed an easy and simple game to create.
when I started this semester all I could think of was race car games but since I created a race game the semester before I didn't want to make an other racer. I started looking at other games that i had and some online as when for ideas. that's when i decided to make a platformed game but i didn't want to make like the other platformers around like Mario and Rayman. wanted it a little different so i thought of different paths that you could take to the end. with each path more difficult and different from the rest of them. so that's how i came up with the idea Treacherous path

Initial game design

The game LOST ROBOT is a 2D platformer involving a little robot that has to collect power cores so he can power up him self and the rest of the robot city and over years has been starting to loss all of its power but while he is searching for the cores he gets jumped by a weird robot later to be a human in disguised as a robot who steals some of the power cores so you chase after him it to this portal that sends you back in time first to ancient Egypt were you have to navigate through the desert and pyramids to find the human. but when you do he goes in to another portal and ends up in the WW2 era were you have to go through an army base/factory but yet again the human gets away but this time you end up back in your time and this is were you have your final frontier you either get the cores back or you don't go back at all.
