Here is the link to my game design document 

I have researched several aspects for my project. I created my GDD with Dundoc, which also helped me arrange my document. The game design document is a work in progress, I love the how each document is different and there is no specific layout. I'll keep track of the game's details and decisions, such as characters, levels, and systems. 

A GDD is a document that documents the aspects and mechanics of a game. I will used this as a communication tool to show my lecture all my decisions I have taken for this project.

    Your idea reminds me of some of the great's like Subway Surfers and Temple run, I love endless runners and I think this one is pretty unique and able to stand out from the crowd, I never imagined a secretary on the run! I wonder how you will start off the run, for example you need to steal the statue in temple run to start the run, maybe in this you steal something of importance to the boss? You could make it so the secretary jumps out a glass window into a rooftop to start off the game which would be exciting :D

    Hey Alex,
    I love the idea for this game, I'm a big fan of endless running games so I can't wait to be able to play yours.
    I love that your game has some type of narrative, I always find it easier to play a game when it has some type of storyline or characterisation, it helps me connect with the game a bit better.
    I don't know if you've every heard of Mirror's edge, its like an endless running/parkour kind of game, your game is reminding me a bit of that with the idea of running on top of buildings.
    I think vibrant colours will help catch the players eye and will look really nice.
    Best of luck with creating this game :)
    Rachael

 Hey let me introduce myself. I'm Alex Partridge I am 20 years old and from Dublin and currently studying Creative Digital Media at TU Dublin.  I am now in second year, I'm super excited to be on campus and meet new people. My goal this semester is to achieve a grade to my best ability and learn new skills, such as collaborating new ideas with my peers in group projects. I also want to enhance my skills in areas of filming and editing this semester. My goal this year is not to leave assignments to "last minute" and try and balance college work and social life.   Last year was bittersweet, as I made new friends it was a bummer I wasn't on campus due to covid. The modules I relished last semester was Design Process and Practice and Image Production. I got to learn learn several new skills for instance how to use Adobe Illustrator and Photoshopped software. My biggest accomplished last semester was creating a movie poster for "Avatar the last Airbender" and

  Throughout the week I was working on my project. Firstly I applied more detail to the buildings by adding a plane on top of the buildings to give a concrete and rooftop pattern.  Secondly, I tried to create my character from scratch, creating with cubes and spheres, but this turned out to be difficult. I then watched a youtube tutorial helping create my character. I got my character from Mixamo, which is free if you have an adobe account. I looked for a character that fitted my game, so I chose a secretary. This was a perfect fit for my game. I then applied all the textures and materials to my character/player in Unity Finally, it was time to delve into the nitty gritty...coding. I first wanted to start with the basics and I put my character on the ground, instead of the buildings, as the player was falling through the building. I have yet to figure this problem. I got my players to jump and jump according to speed and gravity with the aid of the unity tutorials.  I wanted to seems l

  Finally, this week I got to create my game scene. When I first opened Unity I was kinda... lost. I did not know where to start and how to make my own assets. I was like a dear in headlights for a moment, but then I started by creating a plane to give me a base to work on. Then I created cubed objects so they can be the buildings and then finally I applied a wall around my scene which will be the sky.  Once I got my head around creating objects, it became very easy and also fun. I enjoyed seeing my vision come to life even though its in the early stages.  I also created my my player controller script, spawn manger script and move left script to get me started for the coding aspect. I have not applied any coding , as I focused on creating and setting my scene.  After I created my objects it was time to bring them to life, so I added textures. I got my textures from copy right free sources so I could apply it to my game. I watched a very useful Youtube video, which was very helpful.  I
