Getting Started!

This blog will show the progress of my thesis project created for the MS in computer Games Technology, allowing easy review from the University of Aberday Dundee and an organized storage of the information and resources gathered during the project.

The subject of the thesis project is "“Evaluation of Non-Traditional Methods for Displaying Character and Gameplay Information to the Player”, researching on how alternative methods like animations or level scripting, can transmit information to the player, without the use of a HUD.

The first steps will be looking into the animation systems on DirectX (at the moment, this will be the platform where the test will be performed) and the creation of the animation parser.

Each week, a new update will be posted.
