Abstract

ORIGIN is a project involving the development of a 2D Action RPG side-scrolling Platformer game. Generally, the aim of this final year project is to study the elements of Action RPG game genres and skeletal animation to implement into the development of ORIGIN as well as analyse the usability of the finished prototype. With the aim, the project has three objectives to accomplish: to study the characteristics of Action RPG game genres and implement them into ORIGIN, to differentiate between modern 2D skeletal animation and traditional 2D sprite sheet animation, to evaluate the game experience and usability heuristics of the ORIGIN prototype. The methodology used for this project is called the Agile Development Life Cycle where there are three stages (Pre-production, production and post-production) and five phases in all stages involved, namely Planning, Analysis, Design, Implementation and Testing. Majority of the development of the prototype is done during the first four phases while the evaluation of the usability of the ORIGIN is done during the Testing phase where a sample of 30 target users of the age 10 years old and above of different gaming experience demography and 3 experts are involved. To fulfil the evaluation objective of this project, the Game Experience aspects is looked in terms of difficulty, entertainment and emotion whole the Usability Heuristic have several factors: consistency, provide feedback, provide help, simple and clear menu, game controls as well as audio and visual support. From the testing phase, the outcome is that the visual, animation and narrative aspect of the game became its greatest appeal while the lack of responsive control became its weakness. In conclusion, the development of ORIGIN fulfils all the objectives required
