Unity Tutorial 06

Unity

Welcome back to my blog😇 Today I will be writing about three Unity tutorials I did.

In the first video, we looked at the sky box, lighting and wind zones. I could choose from different sky boxes from Jimmy Vegas' assets. I found adding the sky easy enough and I really liked how it added a nice calm tone to my game. I then manipulated the colour around the virtual world to suit the sky. Learning how to change the lighting was also really useful for when I want the game to be darker for night time. I also played around with the wind strength. I tried to find a natural looking breeze for my game. The sky, lighting and wind really helped bring it to life.

In the second tutorial, we looked at how to pick up my weapon and fade screens. I think these things will really help with my storyline for my game. Once again, I had to write some more script. This is probably my least favourite part when creating a game as it's so tedious and I find it quite difficult. I did get it in the end, after a loooong time.

In the last tutorial, Jimmy explained how to debug some bugs that appeared in the previous tutorial. I also created a fade out screen and created a house and shrubbery for my game scene. I overcame some of the bugs to do with my weapon by hanging and adding some script.

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...

Games Decisions

Games Decisions Hi again, welcome back to my blog. Today I will be writing about readings to do with decision-making and flow theory.  Unfortunately I was unable to get the readings "Theory of Fun for Game Design" and " Challenges for Game Designers" off Amazon for this week. Instead I read an article from  Lost Garden  by Daniel Crook.  In this article, Crook talked about making a Massively Multiplayer Online game (MMO). An MMO is is an online game with large numbers of players, typically from hundreds to thousands, on the same server.  I had never heard of this term before. Creating a game with more players costs more money and takes more time. A lot of people think the more players able to play, the better the game. Crook gives examples of games such as; Multi-User Dungeons and Fortnite, to counter this statement. I personally I enjoy video games that involve loads of players but after reading this article, I have no...
