Sandbox RPG Project - Week #1 - Project Planning


The Goal of this project is to create a levelling and ability system for the player to makes tweaks to then test their changes on an enemy in battle.

With this goal in mind the project will consist of 3 stages for the player to experience.

Project Stages:
    *Collect Skill upgrades.
    *Spend Skill upgrades.
    *Test Upgrades in battle.

Detailed Intentions

Collecting Stage
When the player first loads up the project they will be dropped into a corridor featuring different upgrade items but they will only be able to acquire a limited amount of total upgrades and upon collecting upgrade A they will be locked out of upgrade B then presented with a choice between upgrade C & D. The Idea behind this is to provide the player with a mid tier party of RPG characters that are only focused in one specific role and lacking in other roles therefore providing incentive for the player to run through the project a 2nd time.

Spending Stage
Now the player will be able to use the upgrades they've just acquired and increase the stats of their party characters that they will be using within battle. Depending on where they spend the upgrades will change the success rate of the battle sequence.

Testing Stage


After creating a new project file in Unreal Engine and then adding the empty template versions of all the actor blueprints and widgets I was intending on adding I then started on developing the 3rd stage of the project, the battling system as the variables I would need for the first 2 systems could be referenced from the battling system.

Guest Lecture #1 - 21/09/2022 - Secret Mode

Guest - Joshua Garrity, Head Game Scout at Secret Mode Guest Bio Joshua started as a product Manager in the marketing department. Joshua was in charge of digital publishing for Fireshine. Attending public events like Gamescom not only allowed him to network his way into the position as Head Scout at Secret Mode but is also a method he uses to accomplish his job by seeing new indie projects in beta stages at these events. Takeaway #1 – How to Pitch my projects Scouts and Studio CEOs will be travelling often and walking around both Hotels and event centers, so  you  need to be able to pitch your project anywhere at any time. This means your presentation needs to be smooth, quick, and confident, when talking with scouts, CEO, or other representatives you need to answer their questions (without checking notes) and speak honestly about what your team has done and what it will cost for your studio team to do more. Takeaway #2 – What Do Game Scouts Get Up to Game Scouts in their day-...

Guest Lecture #4 - 19/10/2022 - 10:10 Games

  1st Guest Bio - Bart Kosciolek, Junior Animator @ 10:10 Games Jfjdiejdjd 2nd Guest Bio - Reece Hewitson, Junior Games Developer @ 10:10 Games skdjalskjdlkasjd Takeaway #1 - Determination As an applicant trying to get into the industry I will be rejected many times due not being the correct fit for studios I am applying for, be it not enough experience or not the correct style of work for how the studio does things. I need to not let this deter me.  Takeaway #2 - Networking The video games industry is still very young (in business terms/years) and still very small (in one sense), while a single title is a product of many peoples work all put together those people often split after projects have been finished and they will end up working on other projects at other studios and this results in "everyone knows everybody" where you can say a name in conversation with a new co-worker and they'll reply with "oh yeah I know (name) I've worked with them on this project. ...

Guest Lecture #2 - 05/10/2022 - Rebellion Games

  Guest - Peter Dimitrov, Environment Artist @ Rebellion Games Guest Bio Peter enlightened us and told us his day-to-day while he worked on the 1st DLC project for Sniper Elite 5, as a environment artist Peter worked with another level designer to develop and refine the flooded map level that the 2 of them had been assigned to.  Takeaway #1 - Working with limitations      Both Peter and his co-worker had to stick to a schedule where sections of the map needed to be                   done to a specific deadline, the white box version needed to be done within a certain time limit,                   changes could not be made once the art pass had started, the map needed to include certain features like      ditches and a spot for a supply train to run through. The map itself went under many changes before         ...
