Reading 6

Reading 6

Hi and welcome back to my blog! This week I will be focusing on writing the body paragraphs for my chapters.

After researching game layout and game design it has become apparent that there are clear steps involved to create these things. I plan to separate each steps into their own paragraphs. Some steps will probably have a few paragraphs due to the amount of content I need to explain. I will also have an introductory paragraph at the beginning and a concluding paragraph at the end.

  • My introductory paragraph will include my thesis and an introduction to my research.
  • The following paragraphs will include the evidence to support my thesis. These paragraphs will include a topic sentence which will restate my thesis followed by evidence to back it up. The evidence will include examples and factual information. A closing sentence will wrap up and end each paragraph.
  • The last paragraph will conclude my research.

Just to recap on each steps for game layout I have come across;

  1. Brainstorming
  2. Drawing/Drafts
  3. Commitment (I might leave this one out)
  4. Initial Construction
  5. Function
  6. Detail Work (This links in with the game design steps)
  7. Test
  8. Fix

Recap on each steps for game design;

  1. Large-Scale features for game
  2. Environmental conditions 
  3. Specify active regions e.g collection coin
  4. Specify non-static regions e.g door opening
  5. Specify entrance/exit
  6. Aesthetic details
All of these steps give me a rough guideline of what I need to write per paragraph.

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...
