Session 1 6/11/2020
Researcher and Topic: Tessa Carver, Gravitational Waves
Total Students: 6
Plan: Point at a target object maybe with a telescope and try to score points
Some ideas that came up:
- Maybe there could be coordinates and someone tells you “I’ve found something at X,X” and you have to find the coordinates and click on the thing you are looking for.
- Creative and fast game
- Can try and collect particles from neutron stars and score points
Conclusion:
- Pointing telescope to the target objects
- Include in coordinates where the objects are
- Collect particles like gold to earn points
Session 2 13/11/2020
Group 10
Date: November 13, 2020
Week: 2
Session 1: 18:00 – 19:00
Impact gamer supervisor: Adam
Topic: Movement and Scoring
Ideas:
- Collect the particles to increase points.
- Quicker you get to the starts more points you get.
- Give a timer of 20 sec to find the explosion.
- Different explosion in different place, so we can collect from all places.
- Add known starts which can help us to look towards the explosion.
Find sounds and write down their names at freesound.org
Draw and email any artwork to gg10@impactgamers.net
Session 3 203/11/2020
Aim – Look at how to represent failure in game
Outcome – Penalty/Loss of life and Game over system set up
Addition of enemy/trap/obstacle
- Asteroid: when it hits the pointer – lose a life
- 5 lives to start with (next week decide on what the lives should look like, as of now its stars)
- how should the lives be shown as: stars/moons/telescopes (not yet decided)
- Collides with a white hole: pointer will be pushed away (randomly teleport )
- UFO: it will follow you and steal points (like a space pirates)
- Satelites: maybe if they find a satellite and press the spacebar over it, it would restore one of your lives and then disappear
What can cause the end of the game for winning
- Score 10,000 by 5 minutes – win win
Failure of the game:
- Black Holes: randomly moving around, once the pointer crosses over a black hole it leads to an explosion and game over
For next week:
- Sophie: will try to make black and white hole art, well make black hole art and colour it in inverted colours for the white hole
- Add avatars and add characters
- 5 lives to start with (next week decide on what the lives should look like, as of now its stars)
- how should the lives be shown as: stars/moons/telescopes (not yet decided)
Sound Tracks suggested:
- Possible soundtracks: Era of Space by Mr Pork, archi_soundscape_space3.wav by EvanHickler, Mind Lotion – Space Keys.wav by Joachim Schulz, Space between space.wav by aceinet
- space 1, space 2 and tentacle wedding are good
Session 4 27/11/2020
Added:
- Power up: boosts the speed for a few seconds
- Added stars as power ups
- Added a map (pointer) to show where we are
Some bugs to be fixed:
- the shockwaves are everywhere, can’t tell where they are coming from
- the stars are always spawning on the left side of the screen
Sounds suggestions:
- For particle explosion: SupernovaSmall.wav
- Retro_Explosion_05.wav could be good for the black hole sound
- Some artworks will be send in by Sophie by Sunday
