GAME DEVELOPMENT TECHNIQUES

Week 1

For this module we have been given the task of creating a game based on the Famous Five books using the Unreal Engine.

So far I have read a couple of the FF books and chosen to take on Five Go To Billycock Hill. I also watched the Comic Strip presents spoof videos and several episodes of the TV show from the 90s. In respect to using the Unreal Engine I have had no experience using it, so the one of the first things I did was to buy the Mastering Unreal book to get me started on the level design. I have already learned to hate the Unreal editor as I have tried several times to make a map and every single time it has ended up in disaster and me starting again from scratch.

In this weeks levture for GDT we took on the role of the project manager and were given the task of creating a breakdown structure for the project; break down the task until it is made into small manageable tasks.

Also using Program Evaluation and Review Technique create a table of how these tasks will be split down into hours of work.
