Preparing the Animation for title screen.


  1. Understanding the technical limitation.
    • Base on my tech guy. It take 40 ++ hours to render a minute worth of video.
    • Therefore I have to be mindful on time of the video and also lock the animation down with no changes.
    • If not, my tech my tech guy will have to re-render the video to account for changes.
    • This will slowdown progress on the project and his other work and we may miss deadline.
  2. Conveying the purpose of this animation.
    • The idea is to show little movement in the highway to make it believable.
    • To bring player into the world.
    • John Lasseter said that every small detail might be notice by the viewer but will make the viewer believe in the world. Believing the world allow them to fully commit to the character and to the story thus making more immerse game experience..
  3. Seeking inspiration and reference to make the animation.
    • Grand Theft Auto [GTA]
      • The game shows the simulation of traffic at different situation.
      • It has the situation we need; which is a highway at night.

      • The color of NPC car's is what I am going try to achieve for the title screen car animation.

      • Below is the videos of GTA I grab from YouTube. The purpose of each video can be seen in the description below the video.
Video 1 : How police car roams and at minute 9.20, 
can see the example of the title screen looks in the game,
 in terms of angle and location and flow of traffic.

Video 2 : Roaming of the police car in the similar 
world of the title screen we are building and also
 how the traffic flow in that type of environment.
 At starting minute of the video can see  example 
of the title screen looks in the game, in terms of
 angle and location and flow of traffic.

Video 3 : Is just how the cars travel at
 night in the highway. 


4. Making the animation sequence.
    • Finding the assets or object [vehicle]
      • The tech guy gave me his reference website
      • The names of the vehicles I use for the animation can be fond in the link below.
    • Need to find the best way to convey the idea to the team. Planning out the animation sequence and passing it out to the team.
      • Factors involve are :
        • Time
        • Object
        • Color
        • Direction
      • I solve the issue with the table which can be found below.
      • Table Link_Document Link
    • Note.
      • I explain in the table that I wanted the background of the title screen which include the vehicle animation and color of vehicle to be less saturated, so that I can bring more focus on the foreground of the image like the example below.
      • One of the reason the title and girl is more noticeable then the background is due to the contrast of foreground and background.

Horror Atmosphere Part 1

Now I would like to talk about, designing horror. Here is a basic breakdown on horror techniques. Basics Tips and Concepts to Keep in Mind as You Make Your Horror Film This part I will be focusing on the Layout of the game. The game is  PT Demo Mix with Affected . Player will be stuck in a loop and each loop there is objective player need to complete to progress. The Objective could opening the door and pick up a object in a particular room, or there a sequence of triggers the player have to follow to complete the game. For more detail, do contact me. The idea for the game, is that all ages should be able to pick it up and play. I like this approach as the young and old would not be leafed out. I design games primary for all ages. The controls must be simple and intuitive for player to use. The objective and game play must be visible clear and accomplished by many [need my play-test sessions.]. However, do to it being a horror game, player below 12 are not advisable to play.

Education and Career: How to Go about it?

I was asked by parents to advise their kids on which higher education courses to pursue, which is in line with establishing their career paths. Having faced this very same question about 12 to 14 years ago, I feel I may have something fruitful to offer. Let's take a step back for a moment. At some point in our lives, we all need to make a decision about what we want to do with our lives. We must recognize that this is a huge question and requires deep thought to derive an answer. We should also consider that at 15 to 17 years of age, we don't have all the answers. Frankly speaking, at 28 (turning 29 in a few months), I too am still figuring out life. It's a journey, not the destination. NOW, this presents a challenge. The world and all its weight are expecting us, mere teenagers, to make a life-changing decision when we don't have a clue what the world is like and where we want to be in this world. So, what should we do? Panic? Nah. We take a deep breath and think it th
