Hi all. Here are some screenshots of my project at college (HNC ICE), my real first attempt at making something with the engine we are using. The curse ends in a few weeks, so I will post any updates if they get done in time. Next project : Dare to be digital, cant wait !

nice work..
looking forward to seeing more.

Isn’t your course a programming course??
Do you guys do your own art or how do ye get it ? -
You do everything. Modeling, texturing, programming, music, level design, anything to do with developing a game, we do it :D
In the first part you do basic programming leading up to making simple 2D games. Basic things like photoshop, art classes (storyboarding, character sketches ect..) and also make games with exsisting 2D engines such as game maker.
After that you get on to DirectX, making your own simple engine, 3D Max (texturing, modeling, animation ect…) music and audio, and also working with the engine you will be using to make your final game project.

Bloody hell!

Yup. Its a lot hard work. You do more in a few months that most university courses do in a year. You can see some of the students work on our forums. (www.silvertonguesoftware.co.uk)

you’d be hard pushed to find a university which does that in a 4 year degree..
good going.
-
Yeah its a lot of hard work, but well worth it in the end. As much as I have loved doing the course this past year and I would happily do it again, I just cant wait to have a social life again once Dare is over. :shock:

yip, we cover all that and more. we also covered a unit on games history, business start up, etc. its alot of work, which requires alot of out of class work, but everything is there. it finishes up around the 3d of june, so we are all finishing up our projects now. I strongly advise anyone interested in taking a course on game development to apply for this course. :)

Sounds really good!
What engine are you guys using may I ask?
-
Reality.
-
Looks like I might be able to pass you after all.
Seriously, looking good. These projects are definitely going to be enjoyable marking.
BTW – get me to show you how to take out the demo player text.
-
Yay, I’ve passed ! ! Does that mean I can stop working on all the other assignments now. :P
Update :
-
If you do so many different things…it kind of has to be asked, how much detail does the course go into each of them?
-
A lot of detail ! but the course is backed up with great lectures who will bend over backwards to make sure you understand everything.
I knew nothing about 3DMax when the course started yet within a few weeks of the module starting, I was confident with modeling virtually any kind of object / scene. The above renders were all made in 3D Max (including textures) before importing it in to the engine
I had some knowlage of Basic / Visual Basic / C / Pascal when I started but never used c++ before. We started DirectX programming a few months ago (3 or 4 I think) and now we can confidently program a basic engine with lighting, movement, drawing the map from a data file (so you can make a level editor) ect……
It does require a lot of work outside the class but its worth every second.
