Unity Tutorial 04


My progress when working in Unity. (Image is my own screenshot)


Welcome back to my blog,
In today's blog I will be discussing the Unity Tutorial for week 5. I will go through how I did every step and How I managed it and if I found the tutorial informative or tricky to grasp. So the tutorial starts off with  creating new UI elements on the surface of the sheet. I ended up making a cursor that has a center dot in the middle and four long rectangular looking shapes surrounding the main center circle cursor. After I made this in Unity I then tested to see if it worked by playing it in the 'world' itself. It ended up looking like a pretty typical game cursor. I found it quite easy to do this step. 
             Unfortunately I found the next step much harder not because I didn't understand what I was doing but, because it kept giving me errors in the C# script and I still have no clue why. I had to apply an element to the diamond in C# script so I followed the tutorial along and I added in the code bit by bit. What was supposed to be the end result was that I would get a message saying, 'take gem', and it would make a 'bing' noise to indicate that it was taken. By adding in the C# script I was supposed to be able to collect the gem. Every time I tried to drag and drop the completed code onto the gem in panel it gave me the same error.
         I thought it was because I had written the code wrong so I checked many times but alas, it still gave me the same error. I also had errors on the gem rotate C# script because I had made part of the code to not appear anymore which, is what you're supposed to do and I had gotten a bunch of errors for that. I checked numerous of times and everything was still the same exactly as 'Johnny Vegas's' code so i'm still unsure exactly what is the problem. The project was started in an older version of Unity and now since has been updated recently so maybe that's it? 
        The second tutorial was much easier for me because I didn't get any errors popping up. First I had to add three fences in and add textures to them to make them appear more 'realistic' looking. Once that was done I then added a weapon. I added the axe into Unity and applied a texture to it. I had to animate it too. I didn't find this part to be  too tricky which was obviously good for me. I played in the Unity world and my axe looked good after I was done animating it. 
         Overall I feel like I did learn a lot from these two tutorials but I did find the first tutorial to be hard and I didn't figure out where I was going wrong either. That's all for now.
      Until next time......!

Introduction to a future something....?

Introduction Post: The best class that I took last semester was 'Design Process & Practice'. I really enjoyed this module last semester because I found it to be very interesting and creative. I really enjoyed using the program, 'Illustrator' when I was making posters, leaflets and some lab task work. I found it to be exciting because it was a module where I could let my creativity fly! I also found the group assignment to be informative and fun. I found working in a group to be an experience which intrigued me. I worked on projects in a group for an assignment and we would meet up and describe our ideas and do brainstorms. We also chose to do one task each and come in and meet up and discuss and present what we each had done. I chose to do the research and statistics part because I taught that i would found that job to be the most interesting for me. This module really helped me gain a better understanding of how to use the program, 'illustrator' and how t

Final Game Design Document

I have completed my final GDD (Game Design Document). My previous GDD didn't have enough detailed information in it where I would be able to hand it over to games developer and programmer. It would have not been enough information for my game to be produced and made the way that I wanted. Therefore I updated my DunDoc . All of the required information for my game will be in my GDD DunDoc. There is now a game architecture feature in my GDD as well as any other information that was needed. Screenshot of my DunDoc GDD

Game Vision Statement

Welcome back to my blog! Today, I will be discussing my chosen game genre and what the game-play of my game will be like. The genre that I chosen for my game is a children's interactive educational story based game. The style of the game will be simplistic yet, cute meaning that I will have 'cute' looking characters in my game to appeal to children. The game will be colourful and 'animated' looking meaning, it won't have a realistic style to it. I believe choosing this type of style will appeal to my target audience for my game. My game will be story-based which means that the player will choose from a list of choices in response to for example; a question or a route that they may take.                There will be many interesting tasks and choices that the player must make in order to not bore the player resulting in the player quitting the game before completing it. The game will be very interactive which will  hopefully keep the player interested and inve
