Assignment title

2D/3D - FPS-Computer Game.

Purpose of this assignment: It is often easy to forget that behind the polished high-definition graphics and increasingly cinematic content of modern computer games is a highly skilled team of designers and programmers. With more sophisticated environments and new ways of interacting with computers, computer game developers now have the choice to extend into many software development realms.

Linking to any of the programming units, this unit enables learners to use any suitable platform to Explore design requirements and methods of user interaction as well as the coding demands required for the differing types of gaming environments. Whilst it is essential to offer learners an Overview of the differing gaming environments, unit delivery for the development of a game should focus on one specific environment and the required user and technological interactions.

This unit is not suited to learners who do not have experience in programming and should ideally be delivered when the learner has completed procedural programming, object-oriented Programming or event-driven programming.

Company/Scenario: 2D/3D - FPS-Computer Game.:

You are to design and develop an FPS-Computer Game, using Unity Game Engine or any other Game Engine that you are comfortable with; the Game must meet the following specification among others.

1. Game Title; The title should be selected from the three titles given below and the developed game must reflect the chosen title.

“Ball Shooter”, “Sniper Shooter ”, “ Enemy Sharp Shooter” .

2. Brief Game Description; Page 4 of 10

London School of Science & Technology A precise description of the game and what the game play is all about will be required you are a liberty to use 2D or 3D but a brief description of the game which would tell a user precisely what the game is all about must be provided on the first page of report.

The Game must be a standalone on a PC with window platform and operated using common PC Inputs. You are at liberty to use any form Game Assets, Object and component designs software like Photoshop ,Maya or 3DMax, bear in mind the resources provided by the college laboratory and patent right for game resources. Among other this the game must have the following; Assets: Game object assets either developed of obtained from Unity Asset store or other FDX free game assets.

Scene/Terrain: Game scene or Terrain developed or obtained free.

Programming: Use an appropriate programming language or Game Engine Physics to implement and AI solution.

[The above scenario is a basic guide, creative imagination and sensible assumptions is encouraged and will be awarded the maximum marks]

Task 1: (LO1: 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and M1) Word Limit (600-900) Critically compare different types of computer games. Identify different platforms on which computer games are played. (200 words - 300 words).

Discuss different methods of user interaction with the games. (100 words -200 words).

Evaluate the positive and negative impacts of computer-based gaming on society. (200 words - 300 words).

M1: Critically evaluate various Psychological factors that have influence on human beings when playing games. (200 words - 300 words).

Task 2 (LO2: 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and D1 ) Word Limit (500-600) Design a storyboard illustrating your selected game. (100 words -200 words).

Your storyboard should illustrate a full design of minimum one level of your selected game. In particular you should illustrate the following:  The Playable Character (PC)  The design of the level (e.g., Terrain, Assets, etc.)

Page 5 of 10

London School of Science & Technology

Write a list of all resources required to fully design and develop your selected game. (100 words -200 words).

Following points must be considered among others :  The authoring tool needed to fully assemble the game, and the tool’s main characteristics  The tools needed to fully design and develop the game assets (e.g., Game characters, environment, etc.). If you are using copyright-free assets clearly state from where you acquire them.

Compare the Storyboard design with Narrative and Pseudo-code design and provide some advantages of Storyboard design solutions over the other two. (100 words -200 words).

D1: Design various or an appropriate GUI components that could be added to your game .Explain functionality of the GUI component. (100 words -200 words).

Task3 (LO3: 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 M2 and D2) Word Limit (400-500 words)

On the basis of your answer for task 2 (design specification), you are required: To implement a fully functional game fulfilling the design specification using Unity.

Add Terrain, Assets, sound effects and back ground sounds and other special effect that suits the game.

Show an appropriate user GUI that suits the game.

Show evidence of having develop error handling functionalities like bugs fixes and creates a RESET button, syntax error as appropriate to your game

M2: Adding a Score system to the game or show evidence of how the wining or proficiency will be assessed.

D2: This criterion would be awarded by the robustness of the game developed based on the designed and the implementations.

Task 4 (LO4: 4.1,4.2,4.3,4.4,M3,D3) Word Limit (500-600 words) In this task you are required to test the prototype you developed in task 3: To test the functionality of your game prototype.

To analyse actual test results against expected results using tabular form to identify discrepancies. (100 words -200 words).

Design the SUS questionnaire (Standard Usability Questionnaire) questionnaire with 10 questions and: (200 Page 6 of 10

London School of Science & Technology words - 300 words)

  

Calculate the individual scores for each user Calculate the average usability score for all three users (i.e., add all three scores and divide by three).

Deliver minimum three recommendations for improvements to the game.

Create user documentation for the game, your documentation should include: (200 words - 300 words).  Screenshots of the game along with detail explanation what the user can do on the produced level(s). 

Help on how to play the game and what to do in case of problems.

M3 Provide a critical review the meaning of Black box testing and White Box testing during the development of the computer game. (200-300 words).

D3 This criterion would be awarded for the robustness of the report, like using the appropriate referencing, evidence of In-depth study and meeting all deadlines.
