Game Review: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Storyline: The Story of The Witcher 3 is set around the world and life of Gerald of Rivia. He is a Witcher, he possesses magical abilities and extreme combat skills. He takes contracts on monsters and creatures who are terrorizing villagers. He works only for gold and villagers usually despise his kind. It is set in olden times where people only traveled on horseback. The story is very immersive and I personally felt like I was in the game myself. 

Performance: The game works at a solid 60 fps. The movements and actions are very smooth and everything moves quite nicely. the world never struggles to load areas and as it is such a huge map it is very good. Nearly all areas on the map are open to the player and this provides lots of room for exploration. 

Graphics: The graphics are very realistic and smooth. The Witcher's hair moves with the direction of the wind and the trees are plants also sway with this. The clothes , and mass landscape are extremely detailed throughout all areas, and out of the 100 or so hours i put into the game I did not find even one area which did not make me in awe and stop for a moment just to appreciate how much work actually went into this game. 

Replay Value: Firstly there is so much quests and side quests and collectables to find I find it would be a very very long time before you would have nothing to do on the game. The story has reply value as it is just so good and you can also make different decisions which have a minor effect on the outcome of the game. If you somehow actually managed to get through the mass of gameplay. DLC has been brought out recently with new maps, quests and a whole other storyline. I think there is just so much content in the game it doesnt really need replay value as there is just so much content in it already. 

Logo

Production: in Adobe Photoshop I used the custom shape tool to create the flames. I then selected the shape options and chose nature from the different list of shapes to use. Once I had done this I selected the flame/ fire shape. I resized it by using transform and then scale and scaling it to the size I wanted it to be. I added in a few more flames into the flame to give the effect of a ball of fire. For the text I simply used the text box and typed in the text "Hell Flames Games". I adjusted the position of the text so that the middle word would be a little more protruded than the others. I used the rectangle shape tool to add a rectangle in the background and added some colour to it. To add colour to my flames I gave the flames a gradient and chose from the list of colours I was given.

Blender Bird

After we had some practise with working with the curves. We decided to make something a little more complicated. We received a email from our tutor with a image of a bird of some sort. We then imported this image into blender and used it as a template to draw the shape with curves. After we connected the curves the shape was filled in. We had to go into edit mode and add in more bezier
curves to cut out the wing shapes for the bird. We also cut out an eye and holes in the bird. We filled the holes in with screws and also coloured the bird to give it a metallic look.
