My Favorite Game


Main logo for Red Dead Redemption 2 (2019)

My Favorite Game that I have ever played since owning a console was Red Dead Redemption 2. This ought to be the best game of the decade and was also voted as the number 1 game of 2019 and has been labeled the best video game of 
ALL TIME !

The game was able for all gaming consoles Xbox and PS4 and later came out on PC with a higher FPS and better graphics then the consoles a month later. Although the game itself was popular; many found the game demeaning, sexist and even racist at times but the game was set in the late 19th century where there was many of these acts committed. I guess the company that made the game "Rockstar Games" just wanted to capture what it was like to live during the golden age and end of gunslingers and law-breakers. 

You play as Arthur Morgan, a old gunslinger along with his gang of criminals who are running away from the federal police who are keen on killing him and his crew and finally ending the age of gunslingers to bring order once and for all and improve civilization away from these outsiders and wild west folk. The game is played on how the player chooses to act as a honorable or murderer ; you can rob people but not kill them or kill anyone or any creature cruelly.

  1. Hi A Aron, even though Ive played red dead once or twice in my life, I have been told it is a great game, and you have motivated me to try it out! One of my friends has it and can game share it with me so I am pretty lucky. Good blog.

  2. Hey Aaron, I hope you're keeping well! I played the first red dead ages ago and that was unreal. Red dead two looks much better as well and it's improved in so many ways so I'm glad you like it. I'll probably not play anytime soon so you can spoil the ending for me if you want. See you around!

  3. Hey Aaron
    I just finished reading your blog. I hope you're keeping well. Although my brother and best friend have the red dead redemption games, I've never played them. I instead watched them play. In saying that I might actually give it a try and play it because your blog makes me think it’s amazing. I was wondering if you were going to implement some, all or none of the elements from red dead redemption into your own game or game idea. I’m looking forward to reading more of your blog and seeing how your game turns out.

Introduction

My name is Aaron Mulholland, I am 19 years old and I'm in my second year of college in TU Dublin doing Creative Digital Media. The module in which I'm doing this blog is for Multimedia Development 1 and I hope to pass this.... hopefully XD.  Before heading into TU Dublin I first went to a PLC in Dunboyne and did the exact same course I'm doing now; after completing my year there I decided I wanted to take a career in the art of designing on computers as I heard many positives about this chosen career especially in the money !

It was a tough time for work and trying to work at home and online with limited resources such as cameras, adobe software and the Mac's that the college provided which was where I did most of my work for the modules and to move from that to my Windows laptop was very diffi...

Games GDD

 A game design document or GDD is basically the design brief before the development of a game this will include the following: 1. A summary of what the game is about. 2. A description of the layout of the game. 3. Who is the games target audience e.g. kids, teenagers, adults. 4. Where the game is set e.g. in space, another planet etc. 5. The controls and mechanics of the game. 6. What platform it will be used on PC, XBOX, Playstation. How do you create one Any format is acceptable but depending on the person and how they would like to present it they can use a variety of options such as Microsoft Word , Powerpoint, OpenOffice, Google Docs and any other type of text document. The brief should be very clear as it is not only useful when presenting it but also useful to look back over especially to the designer if they go off track when designing their specific game.
