Week 9 Progress

Review Progress
Hey guys, welcome back! As it is review week I will be reviewing my progress so far in this blog.

I am quite happy with my progress so far. There have been times where I have slipped up and missed a blog or two. After seeing my progression and the credits I have missed out on, I definitely think I can make a strong comeback and finish this semester on a high note. With any blog I have done, I have put in 100% effort and I am proud of that. 

 I enjoyed the readings the most because I learned a lot of new information. This information has been very useful for the development of my game. The readings have taught me things I had never even heard of. As someone who doesn't play a lot of video games, I feel like my knowledge on the subject has really broadened. 

 I have used some of the extra credit options and plan to use the rest of them in the upcoming weeks. I have found these super helpful for when I fall behind with my blogs. They've also been great for when I do budget my time well, because I then get ahead with them. 

 I want to get better with prioritising my time and certain blogs. As i've said in previous blogs, I'm still working on my time management. My skill set has grown a lot throughout this process but there is still room to improve. I'm still quite slow at coding for my game but I'm sure after a bit more practice I'll get the jist of it. I have faith that I'll carry on growing throughout this module and I look forward to achieving much more.

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...

Week 09 Reading & Writing

Week 09 Reading & Writing Hi again and welcome back to my blog! In this blog post I will reflect on all the reading and writing work I have done to date.  Overall, I have found the reading and writing assignments interesting and very useful. I have always found that summarising something after reading it allows me to take in the information better. By writing the blogs, I have definitely got a better grasp and understanding of what I was reading.  My favourite reading so far was  Lost Garden  by Daniel Crook  because I learned so many new things that I would never come across by myself. Crook discussed "Dunbar's Layers".  This is a suggested cognitive limit to the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships. The average person can have up to 150 relationships but once you look into all the layers, it can drop down to just 5 intimate friends. This suggestion can then be applied to game design. He also talk...
