User interface elements

Diagetic 

I added a menu that is in game, like a HUD, that keeps the player in the game when they press ESC to pause the game.


Non-Diagetic

For non-diagetic I added an ammo count that shows how much ammo is left out of the amount that the player started with.

Spatial

I added a message in the scene that the character is able to see in the game.


Audio

I made custom audio for the background music, ambient sounds, actuation buttons for the buttons throughout the game, and all of these provide some sort of feedback. An example of this is the clicking sound for a button when it is pressed. I also added audio feedback in the game for things such as when the tank moves, when the enemies fire their bombs, when the player gets hit, and other actor related sounds.

Visual

I created visual feedback through things such as ammo count and the player's opacity getting lower and having the tank fade to represent the health of the tank.

Full Health


Hurt (hit once/minus 25% opacity)


Problems (uploading)

When I uploaded to itch.io, I could not get the exit button to work because the code uses quit game in the code.

The circle around the button will fill up to complete these actions.    Spatial The spatial elements in Borderlands 3 can be seen in the form of information screens that pop up to help the user. One of the most common screens that the user will see is the information about the stats of a gun when the user is looking at it while it is on the ground. Meta Meta elements can be seen when the user gets low on health and when they go into "fight for your life." When the user's health is low, the screen sta...

Assignment #1 Uncanny Game Characters

Uncanny Game Characters What is Uncanny Valley? Uncanny Valley is a term used to describe how bad visuals take away from the emotional attraction of a creation. Uncanny Valley uses a graph to show how visuals can take away from the emotional aspect of a creation. The graph is based on social perception of a creation. The graph is broken up into three catagories, Movement, Appearance, and Overall. When looking at something we tend to add human characteristics even though it may not be human, the more we start to add human characteristics to an object, the more it starts to look creepy.  A Caracter that Avoids Uncanny Valley The characters in Castle Crashers avoid uncanny valley for the most part. They are 2D characters that have a cartoon look to them and exhibit human characteristics such as eyes and limbs. They do not have other human characteristics such as noses or ears. Their movement would be an android on the movement scale, close to a decorative robot on ...
