Johnny Upgrade Retro Game Review - Dante

-

 Johnny Upgrade, a Cool Math Game Classic. It's a 2D platformer where you have to collect coins to then upgrade your stats. You have to defeat the evil robot boss.

Your mission in the game? Save The World.


You are greeted by some badass music and some buttons to press. Press play and begin your adventure to save the world.

You will not be able to move for the first run because you have no speed. But you gain speed the next go you have, and you keep on gaining speed until you have jump and this continues for a short period as you progress. The game will highlight the upgrades you can get.


You will continue upgrading until you fight the main boss, Robot.

The graphics are very simplistic with no 3D aspect, but makes up for that in blasts of energy from your gun. It makes it easier to get across without having to avoid enemies but you have to save for a lot in order to get the ammo required. It only takes 4 hits with the gun to defeat the boss but before you will have to dodge all of its attacks and be quick with the fire.


Once you defeat the boss, you will get a credit scene with johnny flying away and saving the day.


The game is really good and I would recommend it to anyone who likes a retro stat builder.

I would highly suggest that anyone who likes 2D platformers to play this and then see about anything close to it to then get back into games. Its such fun.

Online Software To Help With Character Design No.2

RanGen.com : This software is incredible, I would use this regularly. It gives off loads of information for random characters and it has many more features than the last one I wrote about. I love that it gives so much about their appearance. It really gives way for concept art to be drawn of them. I really like the personality section due to its simplicity but yet effective use of many words to describe a person in a very short space. I love the detail it gives, who thinks about randomly generating 'personal status'? These guys. To even add a job with a satisfaction percentage takes much attention to detail. Love the idea of Marital status and how it shows their preference to gender. Shows that the people who made this took their time to think about the quality and the detail to offer. This is another feature I quite like. To add Religious views along with world and racial is an amazing feature to have as it makes thinking about characters views so much less time draining. I al

 So far i have started an assignment Unit 3&4 - Understanding an Audience. i am at the moment focusing on 1.2 as i have done the research needed to think about how the two digital products advertise to their target audience. I chose Spotify and Canva as they are two very different products but they advertise very similarly. I explained what Canva is and how it's a products for designers trying to seek out easy but easy to professionalize their design. I wrote about how Spotify is a online music streaming service that provides recommendations for new songs through lots of use. It was really easy as the internet was there for me to do some secondary research to find out how Canva advertises and what Spotify does to keep its good reputation across the internet. I wrote about both their income and how they quickly rose to fame. I wrote about who their target audience is and how they advertise to their needs. Both target a variety but stay in a category. Spotify targets people who l

1-7th December Weekly Bog Post

This is a weekly update. At the start of the week I took a picture of the outside of my house because I really liked the look of it. The fact that it was icy with completely dry patches where cars where overnight, seems really cool and gives me vibes like as a game progresses, the map around starts to change as well. Love that in certain games, you get objects in houses that are animated to move around which I really like about Graphic Designers and how they build and animated loads of stuff in games to then have that game to be really detailed but has a lot of space. The concept of tiny details being added is very cool. I really like minute details in games as it adds to that sense of hardship and dedication it must have taken to make something so small but in large quantities. I shows much perseverance and I absolutely love it.  ___________________________________________________________________________________ On monday we started doing Photoshop.
