Project : Week 11

Hi and welcome back to my blog! Over the past few months I've been working on my game for this module. Unfortunately that same game was deleted twice  so I had to start from scratch last week. This was very frustrating for me but I got a good bit done. I have also screen recorded my game now in case this happens again. My game doesn't have as many components as I had planned but I'm still happy with what I've done.

I have successfully built a platform game which includes a player, scorebox, timer and collectable items. As I have said before in previous blog posts, the C# Script has always been the most difficult part for me. I came across some difficulties with it but managed to figure out what was causing the errors. I watched a lot of Jimmy Vegas' tutorials which drastically helped with the scripts. You can see some of the scripts I created in the screenshot below. I made more after this screenshot was taken.

In the second screenshot you can see my player and the collectables up close. The timer is in the top right of the screen. It begins at 200 seconds. The number below is the players score. This increases depending on how many gems you collect. The skybox also rotates so the game doesn't feel as static. 

I enjoyed designing the layout of my game the most. Due to doing it three times, I became quicker at editing textures and materials. What took me four hours the first time around, only took me one hour to do the third time. 

The process was difficult but really satisfying by the end of it. I'm glad I have the most important elements in my game completed.

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...
