so keep coming back to see the latest on my challenge.
well thats my first ever post! thanks for reading
Hello World!
it's been a while since i did a post, so thanks to everyone being patient.
i have received a couple of lovely responses asking me to post more, as they enjoy the read, so thankyou very much, i really appreciate it
ok so i thought i would give you an update on my university course, at the moment the big one is in the module 'Game Architecture' where i am to use the unreal editor, to create a single player FPS (First Person Shooter) experience.
At first i didn't really have a strong idea on what to base the game on, whether to go for full out gore and action, or to maybe go for the horror (F.E.A.R) style. I eventually went for the second idea, and am basing the setting in a mental hospital in Kettering where i live. My mum works there as a nurse, and sometimes i visit when she is doing midnight shifts,so i visually have a good idea of how the corridors,rooms etc will look.
Like F.E.A.R i am going to involve it around a young person controlling the devasting happenings, however I am basing it around a young hooded boy, with scissors. as you can tell this is aimed at the more mature audience, or for children with parents who can't give a donkey and make this industry look bad! (but thats another post!)
However the tables turn dramatically and maybe it isn't the hooded boy causing the murders and evil happenings..............
so there you go, i will post more info as the games production has started.
i will also be looking for game testers, to write feedback for my portfolio, so if anyone is willing to play this game, please contact me.
also my first review is up , and the game is Resident Evil 5.
so take a read and again please give some feedback.
thanks guys!

THE DEMO.
so i have played the demo for a bit, and have done both levels, i idd them on single player, and online coop. both were extremly fun, and at times, i fount the game A.I was far better than the person i was playing with!
The graphics, are superb, although in the cutscenes the frame rate wasn't seeming to hold up, but it is a semo after all.
well this is now definatly on my list for my 20 games.
This whole challenge is beginning to scare me, I DON'T WANT TO FAIL!!!!!
peace
