Currently I am attending my second year at Shawnee State University in Portsmouth OH. One of my classes is a class about game design and game design history. In this class we are just now starting to work on figuring out the basics of getting a team/studio together, everyone's own different roles, and starting to make a game. As far as i know we are not actually going to make a game this semester but we are going to make game design documents and concept art and various assets etc... . Unfortunately due to a cold i missed the class where we discussed what type of game we are planning to make (or not make) but i have pieced together some general information about what the class is doing.
What i know so far about the game idea
- it is a 2d fighting game in the style of Skullgirls/Blazeblue
- the setting is a high school where some/all of the students have powers/quirks similar to things like Sky High (the Disney movie where Bruce Campbell is a gym teacher who shouts at people) My Hero Academia, and X-men
- students belonging to each stereotypical high school clique/group will probably have a respective character in the game
- the working name is "Green Devils" or "Green Devil"
What i know so far about the project itself
- Each student in class has there own different jobs/positions which they mostly picked themselves
- my job/position is story/character design (and possibly backgrounds and sound effects) and also class bunny (a class in joke ill explain another day)
- i need to write about the first few steps about what im going to do first and talk to the other people in class that are connected to my position (see below)
What im going to do first
My first few steps for starting this project is first off getting some sleep. This is important because for a period of about 3 days last week (9/19/17-9/21/17) i maybe got about 3 to 4 hours of sleep causing me to extremely spaced out Thursday.
As of when im writing this i have since gotten sleep. My plan of action now is to prepare some general ideas for class on Tuesday and present them to the people i directly need to work with. Along with that i need to figure out who i would be directly working with and write their names down. I did talk to one of the people im working with on Thursday (9/21/17) but i unfortunately forgot his name the minute i went to bed that night (but i do know what he looks like which isn't helpful for this paper).
Since i am doing story/character design i plan on at least making a list of just general ideas for the story/ characters to share and converse with who i am directly working with so that things can start getting organized. also to help just my own thought process i plan on making a rough character design to help me think of some simple ideas to just present to the group.
