Configurating platforms for gameplay

I imagine testing the prototype of my game on a setup that isn't the most expensive setup ever made.  A setup that can run most of the newest games or the games that required lot of power like GTA 5 would be perfect. Mouse with side buttons, preferably a gaming one, would be a suitable choice as the buttons on the side will allow function just like the triggers on a controller would. I will also need a keyboard, I've never used a mechanical keyboard but i like the sound it makes when you click the buttons so i would go with that, a normal keyboard will probably do the same job. A monitor with a 1820 x 1080 resolution  1080p 60fps would be the best choice. As for the sound all you will need is some over the headphones as I believe these are the most comfortable ones you can use.


This is all you need to do in order to execute a file in Unreal Engine 4

Today I was working on a bridge that will take you to another town/area in my game.

1. The Nintendo Switch comes with controllers called collectively Joy-Con, specifically the "Joy-Con L" and "Joy-Con R". Each Joy-Con includes front-facing action buttons, a joystick, and two trigger buttons. The controllers can be attached to the Switch Console, removed and used separately in each hand, attached to a frame called the Joy-Con Grip to provide a gamepad form factor or used as individual controllers for two players.

2. The Nintendo switch allows you to detach the controller(s) from the screen, this is something that hasn't been previously done by anyone else. 
3."Essentially, when docking the Nintendo Switch it would work equivalently to overclocking the system. When undocked it would run in a low power state that's still powerful enough to run games at 720p HD at around 30fps."

4. The Switch has 32GB of internal memory, which can be expanded using microSDXC cards. I dont have an experience in consoles like Nintendo but i do not believe that 32GB will be enough, specially if you want to have multiple games installed at once. 
5. The console can display at 720p when not charging and at 1080p when charging. In my opinion 720p might be a little too low for the more picky people like me but 1080p should be just perfect. " The console has a multi-touch capacitive screen measuring 6.2 inches (16 cm) on its diagonal, and supports 720p (1280x720) resolutions. While docked, the unit can support up to 1080p resolutions" - Source; Wikipedia
6. Internal storage is used but you could also use external storage to increase the capacity.

Usability

Usability: is the ease and learn ability of the interface/controls.



Learn-ability: How easy or difficult it is to learn how to use the system.

Simplicity: Are the controls as easy as possible, are they similar to controls from different racing games or are those controls completely different to what other companies creating similar games and to what most players are used to?

Effectivity: How swiftly is the player able to complete tasks. Are the tasks set by the game clear and reasonably hard to complete or are they rather unclear and difficult to do?

Aesthetic: Is the interface convenient to use, or is it difficult? simple and convinient, or complicated and unclear?

Just an update on what i have been doing on my project before the Christmas break.

•  Added a small mountain section with some trees to create a nice little path 
•  Added a living area to fill up some of the empty space on the map
