Sound preparations and marketing baby steps - week 3

This week I’ve continued my sound list, as well as thinking about some ways in which I can record the sounds. I have discovered that some sounds will be more difficult to record than others. For inspiration, I’ve been playing some games, adjusting the sound mix in the game, so I could hear ambient sound effects more clearly.

My job this week also, was to write a synopsis of the game for our website. At the point I was writing it, we didn't have names for our characters. I decided to use nicknames when writing it, and at our next team meeting we came up with some proper names. Eventually we decided to use Fred, Joseph and Julia. You can read the finished synopsis on our website.

The foundations - week 1 and 2

In the last two weeks we have been busy thinking up with the concept for the game. We have had different versions of the story thrown back and forth. Basically, we had to come up with everything from story to the way the game plays, enemies, game scenarios, camera perspective, game atmosphere, sound and use of interface. In short - there has been a lot of discussion on the team.

Outside of group discussions, I'm trying to learn how to use Unity. I haven't been able to do much coding yet, as the tutorial I've been using didn't include much. I have also been making a Gantt-diagram and a document where I write down what parts of the game I will be working on, and the estimated time for doing it. A part of my job as well is taking care of the sounds in the game. So I'm trying to get an overview over which sound effects we need and how many.

A brief introduction

Hello!

I'm Thor Kobberrød Husby and this blog is dedicated to a Unity game. I'm currently learning how to program at a Norwegian university. The game is being developed as a project at the university. Here I will post about my contributions to the game.

We are six people working on the game, which as of yet has no official title. But we have been using two different working titles, "Framed" and "Revenge". I think I'm going to use Revenge here on the blog. For now.. anyway.
