Desinging



Our group for this 2d game project was made up of 2 artists and 1 designer, we were put together by showcasing our work and putting our names down for which projects we liked and think we would excel in. The artists and designers have very different jobs when creating the game, the designers were using a program called construct 2. Construct 2 is a simplified way to create 2d games without all the hassle of bade code. Base code in games, is the code which controls all the basic movements of the game. From a scrolling background to damage, the base code controls it all. Construct 2 hides the base code underneath a user-friendly interface, and makes it easy to create your desired 2d games, instead of programming which is more trail and error, writing a code so the game can understand it, but one error can make the game no work or corporate and then go back and find the error, with construct 2 it is easier because you insert your graphics and assign it with an action, such as attack and walk, and then you would play the game and it would do the said action. You can import your own ready made sprite gifs, or make them in construct 2 there and then. Creating collisions around each frame of each sprite creates physics for your game, and stops certain sprites moving through others. Collision physics can also separate background sprites from foreground sprites.
