The document summarizes sound production techniques used in the video game Call of Duty: Ghosts. It describes the game's narrative as featuring a group called the Ghosts fighting against a Federation and their former ally Rorke across various global and space settings. It states the mood is often upbeat when saving the world but also sad when allies die or nerve-wracking when plans go wrong. The sounds were recorded in real time and help set the action-packed, call of duty-style mood and fit the shooter genre well by revolving around shooting.

Fallout new vegas
Fallout: New Vegas is an action-adventure, role-playing game set 200 years after a nuclear war in a post-apocalyptic Western United States. The game's introduction establishes the setting, mood, and narrative through dialogue between two characters, as the narrator discusses how the player character will change history after being shot in the head. Production techniques like voice acting and dialogue were used to create specific soundtrack elements in the game's introduction that set the scene and backstory.
Game interface
The game controls use the SPACE bar to jump and ENTER to shoot. These keys were chosen because they are in natural positions and commonly used for jumping and shooting in other games. When the player collides with an obstacle or falls, they are taken to a death page where they can press SPACE to restart. The game is designed for computer only since the controls are easier to use on a bigger screen compared to mobile. When hit, the music stops and a slashing sound plays, while a bullet sound notifies the player when they fire their shot.
Work flow
The document outlines Callum Deighton's workflow for creating a 2D game. It begins by describing how he created a 32x32 pixel sprite for the player character and added code to program player movement. It then discusses adding additional elements like a room, scrolling background, particle system, projectiles, enemies, health systems, scoring, title screens, and a final boss battle. The goal was to complete a full playable game with various interactive elements and challenge for the player.
Ost
The document discusses creating a musical experience for the game Resurface that changes based on how the player interacts with the world. It proposes designing a series of loops that can be modified or played through code to generate a unique soundtrack for each player. This would involve multi-layering music and connecting it to different in-game components, states, and actions so it can vary dynamically during gameplay. One approach described is composing a base loop and dividing instruments into groups that can then be duplicated, altered and substituted in as needed for smooth transitions.

The first task involved researching the Renaissance's effects and da Vinci's studies. While research was collected thoroughly, market analysis could have been improved. The second task involved generating character ideas, but time management and business elements were lacking. The third task involved pitching a concept, but technical difficulties delayed and reduced the pitch's quality. The fourth involved outlining production plans without including a budget. Overall, while concepts were developed, skills in anatomy, figure drawing, and motion needed further improvement to fully realize the envision
Project da vinci evaluation
The project aimed to develop 4 character concepts for a new Ubisoft game called Renaissance, which would depict elements from Assassin's Creed set during the Italian Renaissance and focus on Leonardo da Vinci's studies. The first task involved researching how the Renaissance was portrayed in different media and da Vinci's history and anatomy. Extensive research was collected on the Renaissance, da Vinci's work, and how it has been used in past games and films. The work put into the first task was deemed successful, though adding details about game developers and the market could have improved it further.
Finished production log
The document outlines a student's progress on their Project da Vinci over several months. It details their studies of anatomy, figure drawing, character design, and item development. They practiced different drawing techniques including box, oval, and hybrid figure methods. They also studied hands, folds and fabric, life drawing, and anatomical structures. Their character concepts progressed from basic profiles to more detailed descriptions and pose studies. Their item designs included weapons and a hound concept. They realized they needed to extend their deadline and further develop anatomy skills for their concepts to reach a good standard.
