This project details part of the development of a video game based on a previously existing board game. This project focuses on the aesthetics and story, two elements of the game design tetrad that, all games possess in varying degrees. During this project the interface of the video game was designed, prototyped, tested and iterated upon. The game world, its props and characters were also modeled and a background story was established for the world, the monuments on it and, for each character and where they came from. The development of this project followed processes applied and thought by professionals of the game industry and was successful to implement a proof of concept of a video game. This work provides a deep insight for anyone that wishes to understand the game industry and learn the process of creating a game. RESUMO Os lançamentos de novos pacotes de software a preços acessíveis para o desenvolvimento de vídeo jogos, juntamente com uma população formada e a grande quantidade de conhecimento disponível de graça na internet geraram uma explosão no número de vídeo jogos a serem desenvolvidos e lançados independentemente.

  • On the Trail of the Wolf: How Wolfenstein 3D Defined the First Person Shooter
    On the Trail of the Wolf: How Wolfenstein 3D Defined the First Person Shooter Andrew M. Reid STS 145: The History of Video Games Prof. Henry Lowood 3-18-02 If you asked “the man on the street” to a some First Person Shooters, Half-Life, Unreal, Quake, and Doom would certainly be included in the responses. If you asked enough people you would get others such as Duke Nukem 3D, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, and—the predecessor to Return to Castle Wolfenstein, and to all of the previously mentioned games—Wolfenstein 3D. Rene Patnode states in Id as Superego that Doom is the game that current First Person shooters are compared to.1 It is often argued that Doom is the defining game for the genre of First Person Shooters. However, it is Wolfenstein 3D that is actually the defining game of the genre. While many games will be forever compared to Doom and Quake, id’s next First Person Shooter after Doom, most of the basic concepts of game play in Doom are based on or improvements to Wolfenstein 3D. The design decisions made during the development of Wolfenstein 3D affected the design of all later first person shooters, and therefore, defined the genre of first person shooters. Before I argue that Wolfenstein 3D began the genre of First Person Shooters, I must first talk a little about the notion of genre in video games and define what I mean by 1 Patnode, Rene. Id as Superego: The Creation of Duke Nukem 3D. March 22, 2001. p.2 2 a First Person Shooter.
