My Favourite Video Game

My Favourite Video Game

Hi, for my first blog I will be talking about my favourite video game. Crash Bandicoot has been one of my all time favourites since I was around 8 years old. I started playing it on the Playstation 1 when I was younger and have since played the games on the playstation 2, 3 and 4.

Crash Bandicoot is a series of games that was created by Jason Rubin and Andy Gavin in 1994. The games are mostly set in a fictional place called Wumpa Islands. The main character is named Crash who is often fighting with the main antagonist, Doctor Neo Cortex. In cerrtain games, Crash must fight other characters and sometimes has worked alongside Doctor Neo Cortex. The games are mainly adventure games, while some are team car racing.

I really enjoy the Crash Bandicoot series as there are a wide variety of games within it. The first games that came out are my favourite but I also like the multiplayer racing games as i can play them with my friends.

Developers released a remake of the first three Crash Bandicoot games in 2017 and named it the "N. Sane Trilogy". I have played them on the PlayStation 4. I loved playing them as they were the same as the original but with much better graphics.

    Hi Lauren,

    I loved reading about how your favorite game was Crash Bandicoot. I use to play it when I was younger too but wasn't very good at all! I don't know why I think I just panicked to much while playing.

    Can't wait to read more of your blogs! :)

    Hi Lauren
    I really enjoyed reading about your favorite game Crash Bandicoot as its such a good series. I remember playing Crash racers and the wrath of Cortex when I was younger and honestly wasted hours on it.
    I really enjoyed reading this blog and am looking forward to reading more in the future. All the best with the future blogs

Unity Tutorial 05

Unity Tutorial 05 Hi and welcome back! Today I will be writing about the "Collision Decisions" and "Challenge 2 & Quiz Play Fetch" Unity tutorials. These tutorials were a continuation from last weeks. As I didn't do last weeks, I had a lot of work to catch up on! Fortunately, I completed the first tutorial without any problems. The second part was a bit more difficult and I didn't get all of it correct. In "Collision Decisions" I made it so that animals were spawning randomly at different times on the screen. I made it so there was a timed interval between each animal when walking down the screen. I did this by using InvokeRepeating() in the script. I added colliders so that I could feed the animals with all the different food. When all the animals get past the end of the scene, it says  "Game Over". The end of the scene was when they got past the player. Screenshot of Unity The "Challenge 2 - Play Fetch" tut...

Game Elements

Game Elements This week's readings game me an insight on the questions that must be asked when thinking about; p layers, objectives, rules, resources, game state, information, sequencing, player interaction, theme and games as systems. I found the examples given for each of these very useful and gave me an idea of all the variations there are. Image 1:  https://pxhere.com/en/photo/948574 I think the "Three step process" given for critically analyzing a game will definitely come in hand: "1. Describe the game’s formal elements. Do not interpret at this point, simply state what is there. 2. Describe the results of the formal elements when put in motion. How do the different elements interact? What is the play of the game like? Is it effective? 3. Try to understand why the designer chose those elements and not others. Why this particular player structure, and why that set of resources? What would have happened if the designer had chosen differently?" ( h...

Unity Tutorial 06

Unity tutorial 6  Hi and welcome back to my blog! Today I will be writing about a new set of Unity Tutorials about “Jump Force”, “Making the World Whiz By” & “Don’t Just Stand There”. In the first tutorial we created a new prototype, added a new background, character and obstacle. This was a fast paced and side scrolling runner game where the player had to get the character to jump over obstacles and avoid crashing into them. In these tutorials I also learned how to add music and sound effects. I learned about the spawn manager too, which is basically what controls spawning objects. Image 1: Screenshot of Unity Image 2: Screenshot of script In the second tutorial I used code to make the background of the game move effortlessly with the obstacles. As I used C Script the background and spawn manager will stop once the player collides with the obstacle. And lastly, in the third tutorial, we created three more new animations. I found this difficult as I had ne...
