Get Tim Home
Get Tim Home
Get Tim Home is an idea I am currently working on with two other students. Get Tim Home is a 2D top down endless game about a little astronaut called Tim who gets sent on a mission to space to collect shooting stars and bring them back to Earth to use as a resource. I am the game designer and leader within the team as I am the one who came up with the initial idea and core mechanics and style of the game as well as being a good driving force for the rest of the team.
This is the paper prototype of Get Tim Home. We created the prototype so that other people could get an understanding of what the game will look like and play like when it is complete. We also created the paper prototype because it centered all our groups ideas so we knew what we wanted from the game and there would be no concerns or misconceptions of what was being created.
I have done a vast amount of research into the different production processes of creating a game as well as quite a bit of research into other smaller game designer and creator teams like Team Meat which only contained two members and they have created amazing games.
I also did a large amount of research into the role I would be taking on within the group the game designer and researched and learnt the skills I would need and what I would have to do.
This is the core mechanic diagram I created to show and explain the different mechanics and elements within the game and how they each affect the other
Research on media that corresponds with my game as well as my skill gap plan for the project to track what skills I have obtained for the project so far and what else I need to learn to produce the game.
Hugh Mungus
Hugh Mungus is a cartoon that I created myself and it was based around a naval war for ocean territory between Russia and Japan. The comic would focus on a Russian submarine and its captain as well as a blue whale called Hugh Mungus that befriends the submarine after it is saved from a Japanese fishing boat. The comic would follow these two unlikely partners as they would sail across waters and help each other fight enemy boats and submarines as well as Japanese fishing boats.
Horror Special Effects
I have an interest in special effects and the levels some people have to go through to make something within one shot amazes me. I wanted to attempt some special effects and when a horror project came up at my college I wrote a script that would feature some gruesome effects and then began to research how to create these effects and what I would need.
slit throat
This is how the shot came out. I applied all the makeup, pipes, pressure pipe, fake blood and the liquid latex. Considering my lack of knowledge or experience I was really happy with how it worked out. It was very joyful to create and apply these items and makeup and see the effect work after seeing it in movies and other media.
