About Me

1. Introduction & Background

• My name is Joseph Htay, and I am a student at Chapel Hill High School. I am taking this class to increase my knowledge of modeling and animating so I can make a game for people to enjoy. My philosophy is to keep game and character design simple and easy to understand.

2. Creative Process & Inspiration

• When starting a new project, I draw ideas from various games and art, using what I learn to create something original. For instance, Roblox offers many games to inspire new creations, especially since making a game is accessible. The popularity of "All Star Tower Defense," a well-known Roblox anime tower defense game, shows how a single successful game can inspire others to innovate and create their own versions, earning it a reputation as the foundation for the anime tower defense genre.

• What inspired me was the creativity in some Roblox games, which I found surprisingly too good for the game, as it's just a basic blocky game, but changing it and being able to add more detail and crazy design to a simple blocky game. For example, consider "epic mini games" on Roblox; the design is quite basic. Still, with the gear you can hold to the lobby, but if we look at "Anime Vanguards," it may look like a simple tower defense game. Still, the detail on the units is on par with Apex Legends. The game itself may look basic, but it is very advanced for Roblox to handle, and still enjoyable to play. 

3. Future Goals & Aspirations

• My vision is to create a game that inspires players to immerse themselves in a vibrant world, where fun and camaraderie go hand in hand. Imagine joining forces with friends to conquer challenging raids and dungeons, making every victory feel earned and rewarding. With diverse classes each contributing unique strengths, like tanks leading the charge or chefs nourishing allies, every player finds purpose and belonging. By opening shops, sharing resources, and supporting one another, the community thrives, turning strangers into friends. My ultimate goal is to craft an MMORPG that not only entertains but also forges lasting connections, unforgettable adventures, and a sense of wonder that keeps players coming back for more.
