Today we found out our roles and teams! I was really happy to find out who I was working with and what game we were working on and turns out it’s the game I voted for. I was really happy as the I loved the genres and art style of this game and I’m really excited to bring this to life!.
I was slightly worried to begin with as I was given the role as Technical designer and programming is not something I am strong in, however I am excited to develop my programming skills further and I could learn more through this project.
Roles:
What is a vertical slice?
A vertical slice provides an end-to-end *functionality* that can be tested.
It is a build that can be played in one sitting.
Technical Designer Role:
–Their job is to combine the scripts created by game or level designers with art, music, and other resources to make the game play smoothly.
Unfortunately I was not here for this lecture, however Izzy and Paula started writing down our roles along with tasks we each had to complete.
As our World Designer is hard to contact Paula started a bit of the narrative where Izzy then completed the rest.
Once the narrative was complete I could then begin merging the narrative and dialogue into my code to practice.
