Unity Tutorial 01

Unity Tutorial 01


 I had never heard of Unity before now so this was a whole new concept for me and I was very excited to learn about it. 

 The way that you can change your game to suit any platform is really handy. I learnt that most gaming software use C Sharp coding. Java Script is slowly not being used at all.

 I found the colour co-ordination used for each axis very convenient and made navigating around the objects and the screen easier.

 The terrain tools are really cool and allows the game to be very versatile. I was slightly confused when I tried to add texture to the terrain in my game. The original textures were easy enough to add. It was when I tried to change the textures to be more realistic, that problems began to arise. After playing around with it for a while I became more comfortable with the tools. I noted that it is always good to make sure I have set the height and width of the terrain before creating objects so they don't stretch if I decided to change it afterwards.

 I really enjoyed adding details to the game environment. Details like trees and grass made such a difference to the game. I liked how you could change the wind speed.

 Keeping separate folders for different elements of the game was very useful.

 After watching all the tutorials, I can see so many similarities between Vegas' game and games I played when I was younger e.g Spyro. I'm really looking forward to making my own game and learning more about the tools used.

Introduction

Introduction to Me My name is Lauren Murphy and I am 20 years old. I live in Castleknock and have 4 people in my family including myself.  My favourite class last semester was Design Process and Practice. I have a big interest in graphic design and I really enjoyed learning about the principles and rules of design. My goals for this module are to improve my blog writing skills and successfully create a video game. Image 1: Boracay Beach During Summer I went on holiday to The Philippines. I travelled for 22 hours to Manila, where I stayed for 4 days. I then flew to Boracay and Cebu. Each place was amazing and different in their own way. I met a lot of people who were travelling alone around Asia. After listening to some people's experiences, I have decided I will definitely go back to Asia next summer. I also went to Hungary this Summer. Some of my friends were interrailing around Europe so I met them in Budapest for 4 days. I went to the famous Baths and also wen...

Game Idea Research

Game Idea Research Hi again! After brainstorming a few ideas for my game, I have decided I'm going to stick to an adventure style. As I've said before in previous blog posts, I gained a lot of inspiration from the Crash Bandicoot and Spyro series. The user of the game will be able to walk around a virtual world. They can collect gems which will add to their score. There will also be different type of keys hidden around the world. Each key will unlock another part of the world to explore. Once the player unlocks an area, they will have to fight small creatures that are walking around. As the players score increases, their strength will increase. This allows the player to fight tougher opponents as the game goes on. The player's health will take a toll if hit by a creature they are fighting. The aim of the game is to beat the creatures and collect all the keys to unlock the entire world.  Image 1:   Minecraft Virtual World I hope to learn enough...

Game Brainstorm

Game Brainstorm Game 1:  My first game idea is to create an adventure game. As I said before, in blog about my favourite video game, Crash Bandicoot was my number one. A game similar to this would be ideal. There would be one character travelling through worlds, collecting objects and fighting villains. Other games similar to this are Ratchet And Clank and Spyro. I like the idea of the player having their own character and being free to travel around the world they're in. After watching some Unity tutorials, I have gathered knowledge on how to create the basis of these games. I have a lot more to learn, but I am looking forward to broadening my skills. Image 1: Crash Bandicoot  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7G91RjVmvk Game 2:  The second type of game idea I came up with is a racing video game. I've taken inspiration from the playstation game "Micro Machines" and Nintendo game "Mario Kart". The game would have both multiplayer and solo options...
