Industry Practice: Formative Feedback

 Industry Practice: Formative Feedback

Building on top of the reflection of my own role, this blog will serve as a reflection of the pitch presentation, and how the team succeeded as a whole, as well as what we need to work on. Firstly, I looked at the Module Learning Outcomes which were marked for this part of the project, which were:


MLO1: Research and critically evaluate art and design benchmarks to inform your development of an original Intellectual Property. 


MLO2: Reflect critically on your own work and experience within the Games industry, making reference and comparisons to commercially available professional work. 


MLO3: Research and analyse the technical and durable skills required for individual job roles within the Games Industry and reflect on how this has informed your own practice. 

MLO4: Identify and analyse the relevant legal and economic frameworks relating to current industry practices, in the context of your own work. 


MLO5: Develop an innovative Intellectual Property with consideration of genre and target markets. 


MLO6: Demonstrate collaborative working practices within a game production studio in response to stakeholder demands and feedback. 


MLO7: Demonstrate ethical and sustainable practices in the creation of an original Intellectual Property. 

As a whole, we passed all learning outcomes, achieving a good grade at this formative stage which was a 2.1. For the presentation, I think we presented very confidently, showing that we know what our game is about and the serious subject matter at hand. I think we perfectly mirrored how a process like this would go in the game industry, with us showing off the different features of our game. We all also equally contributed to different parts of the pitch, with us each having our own sections.

A thing I think we could've handled better is our own personal touch on the presentation format. I think having recognisable icons and a style would've went a long way at making an impact in the minds of those watching the presentation, and I believe it would be the same within the industry as well. Not only that, using a picture generator for our icons is okay at this stage, but it would be much better to create our own assets for marketing.

For me specifically, I think it would be very beneficial to create an audience profile, using sites I have previously used for research including those in the PowerPoint itself. A point that was brought up that I think we should be VERY careful about is how we approach and avoid stereotypes for conditions. We need to show that the condition is monstrous and not the person.

Toolkit 3D - Character Sculpt Project

 Toolkit 3D - Character Sculpt Project Research and Thumbnails For the 3D side of toolkit, our project was to create a character from one of many briefs. With a specific style and inspiration I am already fond of, I chose brief number one: the Cybernetic Samurai. Looking at the brief I have chosen, it states that the character needs to be " A fusion of traditional samurai armour with futuristic robotic enhancements, glowing energy veins, and a mask that combines human features with mechanical parts." This is a lot of specific details to unpack, so I created a diagram of the different features that I could add to as I research. By treating these different sections as whiteboards, I can research them individually so that I have lots of ideas I could add into the thumbnails.  As usual with 3D modelling, I started with researching specific styles to use as inspiration. Style Research To start with, I began by looking at games before individual artists. I first looked at Bomb Rus...

Toolkit 3D - In-Engine 3D Character Modelling Process

 Toolkit 3D - In-Engine 3D Character Modelling Process This blog will include the timelapse, and timestamps referring to said timelapse with explanations. I normally take screenshots as I work, and annotate those, but I feel that I want to try a different method of documenting my process since screenshots can be disruptive. Firstly, as a refresher, my final design for my character is below. Normally, I would bring this into the 3D software so I could have the reference there, but I opted not to do this. I find references in ZBrush to be disruptive more than anything towards my workflow, and I prefer working with the reference in another monitor whilst sculpting, rather than it being in the software. Here is the timelapse, which I will reference when giving a timestamp and explaining my process. STEP 1: CREATING THE MESH The Body For this model, I wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone a lot more than last project. Last time, I heavily relied on Blender, only really using ZBru...
