Be an Aware Game Designer and Developer...


         This blog of mine contains some of my activities, art works, games that I have designed already, some games  made by my group and all works related to my course. For me becoming a future game designer and developer is not all about making games, earning money and make your country be known world wide but we should also be aware of what's happening in our environment, we shouldn't think only about ourselves, how we will earn money and how we will sustain and obtain our daily needs in life. By watching this film, my blog hoppers, visitors, co-future game designers and developers, and for the professionals, Ang Babae Sa Septik Tank directed by Mr. Marlon Rivera. By watching this film, I realize that there are lots of professionals in our world, achieve so much awards, they become rich, they can buy what they want that others cant buy, still there are families who still don't have their permanent homes, they just live in slums, no jobs, they only eat once a day and sometimes they only eat thrice a weak. Let's be aware and think how to resolve this kind of problem.

Here in GMPROG1, this is where I started learning to use the application UNITY. Here are the projects I've learned and made in using Unity.


Game On Project:
Game play link : Last Stand: Battle of Tirad Pass

Unity Game Jam:
Game play link :  Survivors

Elevator Action:
We are task to do a game similar with elevator action, we can do it either in 3D or 2D no score mechanism.
Game play link : GMPROG1 Elevator Action
Screenshots: 




Our professor test us on how much knowledge we have when it comes in programming. He gave us a task where in we will make a game similar with elevator action, where in there are platforms moving up, down and left and right. (In the project I made, well no left and right )
Game play link: Light Escape Game
Screenshots: 



Preparation for the coming Unity Game Jam, we held a mini game jam where in we are going to create a game within 3 hours and the theme is all about "Styro".




Below is one of our activities, where in we are going to design our own city. Here's a screenshot of my city.
Textures not owned by me. :)

Here's 1 of our quiz: Similar with space invaders thingy ;) 
Video Game Link: Similar with Space Invaders

Here, we are thought by our professor the basic movements for a character, how to fire and how to move a platform up and down.

APLIPHY - Applied Physics in Games

Compilation of my works in APLIPHY


Image 1

In image 1, we are task to make a program and graph our chosen equations as long as Parabola: upward and downward, SINE graph, COSINE graph, Logarithmic Function Graph and Exponential Function Graph is involved.




Video 1

Here in video 1, it's one of our quest we have to make a bouncing ball showing the way of its direction or where the ball is facing.
For clearer view of the video here's a link : Bouncing Ball




Video 2

Here in video 2, it shows our midterm exam, it's all about projectiles. The exam has two parts, Projectile 1.0, a red cube on a fixed position will fire from the left, its bullet has four varying distance/range, it is up to us how far or near it will fire. The yellow box has only 1 health. Next, projectile 2.0, Same with projectile 1.0 only differ in number of enemies, now here we have a stack of 5 enemies with varying health from 1 - 4 and in here we can adjust it's distance/range and it is not fix in only 4 distance.
For clearer view of the video here's a link : Apliphy Midterm Exam




Image 2

Here in image 2 shows one of our quiz in this subject where in we are going to graph a given equation plus a circle or sphere is moving along on each graph.




Here in video 3 it shows our car simulation activity.

ARTINTE - Artifcial Intelligence for Game Developers

Here in this subject, we are thought some of the most important information about AI.

Below are the all activities where in we really applied our programming skills and knowledge about AI


In the first 3 images, we practice coding how states work :)






The images below shows the application we used where we practice our AI skills, how our mind works when it comes to AI




This is where we put conditions on the AI ship we created. This is where we plan our tactics/strategies or what the ship will do.
