Deadline Gameplay
Ma Layssard
Deadline is a real-time tactics game, in which the player navigates a squad of soldiers through discrete missions. The game combines real-time gameplay with pre-planning stages.[3] Its gameplay style has been compared to that of Jagged Alliance and X-COM: UFO Defense.[2]
William R. Trotter of PC Gamer US was unimpressed with Deadline. He concluded, "Despite its interesting concept, Deadline is dead on arrival."[2] Computer Game Review's critic was significantly more positive, calling the gameplay "great fun" and arguing that "strategy and action game fans should take a good look at Deadline."[3]
I have a mission on the way to Dres that will complete a contract, however said contract will expire about a year before I get there. I've tried and failed this specific contract several times and I really want to complete it, so I'd like to edit the save file to extend the deadline by maybe two years.
Just wanted to check if someone got the trophy by doing it not in the same gameplay. If the answer is yes, I guess the ones missing will be the ones from the New Game +, since they don't count some trophies. And if that's not the case either, I guess I just missed something even if I checked it twice.
You have to take care of the Rats/Alligators, because sometimes it do not count towards the trophy progress when they kill you while swimming/diving, so make sure they kill you while on land and the T-Rex/Torso Mutant sometimes do not count toward the trophy progress when they do not kill you with the death animation. They can in fact kill you without an animation if you walk into them. This seems to be buggy. I have tested this on PS5, where you can see the trophy progress going up.
Can confirm this can be done across saves, but its important to note that if a save is overwritten with a later playthrough where a particular death was missed, this overwrites the death in the original playthrough and therefore it no longer gets counted towards the trophy. I had this issue where it turned out the last death i needed was the Midas Hand, even though I did it on my first playthrough which i accidentally overwrote on. I believe this could also be the case if your game crashed or you had a power cut before it gets saved.
Lil' Kickers bridges the gap between Start Smart Soccer and our Youth Soccer League. This program is an instructional 3v3 soccer league featuring practice and gameplay occurring on the same day, allowing participants to incorporate drills and skills learned in practice into a game setting. Score is not kept, and volunteer coaches act as the referees to create a non-competitive environment to maximize touches and emphasize fun.
By the end of the two weeks, students will have created complete games or game assets in each of the four classes. Students leave the program with game art they can include in their college application portfolios.
The institute also provides students with a rare opportunity to receive invaluable feedback that will prove useful to academic and career considerations in the gaming field and earn four units of pass/no pass UC credit.
During the two-week program, students will be introduced to the art and technology of game development through a four-course curriculum. These courses are designed to complement each other, providing students a comprehensive introduction to making games and games art. This includes learning the fundamentals of game design; creating characters and avatars that express personality and identity through animation or movement; building unique and compelling game worlds to navigate or explore; and developing programming skills to create interactive, gameplay experiences.
This course will introduce students to the fundamentals of game design, such as creating playable characters, designing conflicts and choices, and giving players compelling motivations and goals. Students will work to create their own tabletop game with a focus on game systems, game flow, creativity, and aesthetics. It is the goal of this course for students not only to produce an original game, but also to develop an understanding of how game design really works, and to explore the potential of games for creative expression.
Videogames give us characters to control, and this course provides an introduction on how to create playable characters through modeling and animation. Students will develop a 2D character or avatar, which they will learn how to bring to life through stylized visualization and movement. This emphasis allows students to learn various aspects of modeling and animation as applied through After Effects, a state-of the-art modeling and animation application.
Videogames rely on world building to give game environments narrative potential and playful motivation. In this course, students will put the concept of world building into practice by creating a game environment in the Unity game engine (a leading development platform for creating indie/professional games). Students will use multiple environmental elements, such as buildings, plants, terrain, and lighting to create a navigable game world.
Videogames use computer programming or code to express movement and collision, provide spaces for interaction, and capture player input. This course introduces students to the fundamentals of game-related coding while developing a playable videogame. Using a creative graphics programming toolkit for creating games, students will build a videogame, playtest the results, and make refinements as part of an iterative design process (a common approach to game design in indie and professional game development).
PLEASE NOTE: These are LIVE class sessions. Attendance is therefore required. For students not in the United States, this may mean attending class late at night or early in the morning. Shifting to early/late hours is understandably a challenge, but live attendance is essential to learning in these classes and to overall success in the program.
All precollege programs with mandatory housing also feature scheduled non-curricular evening and weekend activities that all students are expected to participate in. The nature of these scheduled activities is at the sole discretion of the individual academic department offering the program, and are not operated by UCLA Summer Sessions. To learn more about when your selected program will host such activities, please consult the schedules for each program, or contact the department in question directly: summer.i...@games.ucla.edu
Most of our precollege programs with mandatory housing will hold check-in on the Sunday before the start of the program between 4-6pm, and hold check-out the Saturday after the final day of class at 11am. Please contact the department in question directly to confirm check-in and check-out times: summer.i...@games.ucla.edu
The program fee includes the unit fees for the UCLA coursework offered as part of the program and thus varies by UC student status. The program fee also includes the cost of UCLA Housing (for mandatory housing programs). In addition to the program fee, students are assessed other campus and administrative fees during the summer. This is a summary of fees that commonly apply to the selected student type.
Actual tuition and fees are subject to change by the University of California. Visit the fees, payment, and financial aid section for important disclaimer, as well as more details on fees, payment instructions, and information on delinquency, refunds, and financial aid.
All faculty and teaching assistants are practicing game design artists and educators affiliated with the UCLA Game Lab, with extensive experience and expertise in their respective course subjects. Each course will be led by a faculty instructor and teaching assistant, with additional staff to provide support.

Despite the online modality for the virtual Session A, the curriculum and educational goals of the program remain the same: to deliver a comprehensive, four-course introduction to game making as an artistic practice. These courses will be taught by the same instructors and teaching assistants, and students will be working on mostly the same projects they would complete in an in-person program.
To facilitate a virtual classroom experience, the program will combine live, instructor-led online class sessions with live lab sessions with teaching assistants on a daily basis. All instructor-led class sessions also will be recorded and posted each day for students who cannot access the live classroom. All of this will be augmented by supplemental resources made available to students through a classroom web portal for each of the four courses. Students will receive a digital welcome packet prior to the summer institute, which will lay out all the details and procedures for online instruction.
We strongly encourage students with an interest in art and games to consider enrolling in the program. A familiarity with using computer applications and some exposure to computer code is useful but not required. Students are not expected to have a formal background in any of the subjects we teach at the Game Lab Summer Institute.
Typically, students create a physical, tabletop game based on their own ideas and experiences, and they develop game art assets such as characters and environments that could be found in a video game. The themes, aesthetics, and generic content of the games are up to the student to decide.
