Run 3: Retro Game Review

-

 Run is a flash game created by Player 03. The 'Run' franchise has 3 games in total and 'Run 3' being the most successful in the series.

Run 3, also known as simply 'Run' has 2 modes: 

Explore, where the player had to find and map out over last one of the level sets. There are currently 309 levels that are accessible from the 'explore' mode across 21 level sets. The entirety of the plot takes place in this mode alone. (mostly)

Infinite, this version has you playing through a randomized selection of 325 pre-built levels. And with every meter you travel, it is kept track of and displayed at the top left of the screen. The obvious goal is to get as far as you can without failing a level. With the highest distances saved on a leaderboard that is viewable in the main menu of the game.


There are items called 'Power Cells', they are scattered throughout every level in the 'infinite' mode. Their frequency and value increases alongside your distance travelled. Achievements are exclusive to this mode and can be redone for these 'Power Cells'.

It has many different types of tiles within the game with many different features that makes the game a bit harder as you progress:

- Crumbling: This is an unstable tile that will begin to fall when too much weigh is applied to its surface.

- Ice: This is a cold tile that increases the players maximum speed at a decrease to strafing ability. Basically meaning that your movement is not as rigid and has more flow to it which can become very unstable depending on which situation you're in.

- Box: This is a 3D object that can change the gravity on all sides.

Conveyors:

- Fast: This increases the players speed up excrementally.

- Slow: This is a backwards driven conveyor that slows the player down massively.

- Right & Left: Conveyors that can direct the player either way and can influence the players movement.

All of these features in the game make it that much more fun when having a go at it. It is an honest to god good game that you can recommend anyone of any age. That set boundary of anyone can play makes it so much better as then the whole family and friends can play.

It would be an everyday game for me if not for others that just outrank it in every way.

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

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.
