 Unity Tutorial 03


This weeks Unity Tutorial was a bit easier to navigate now that I know how some more of the mechanics work. I have to say I enjoyed the more complex tasks as there were more objects to maneuver and they all had separate roles within the game. The part I enjoyed the most was being able to code the keys to do certain things instead of just moving a character up/down or left/right.

Something I didn't enjoy about this Unity Tutorial was the instructor would explain one way to write code in part 1, but then change it to a simpler way in part 2 of the tutorial. I find this very confusing because you never know what he will be altering. This is then frustrating because I know I will mix up the first way and the easier way when I have to complete a challenge at the end of the tutorial. Other than this hiccup I'm enjoying learning the mechanics of game development. I thought it would be almost all coding but I'm enjoying the folders, buttons, and drop down menus! I also enjoy getting distracted playing around with the game as it becomes more interesting.

An Introduction

Introduction Post Hello! I'm Lauren Hetherington a 2nd year student studying Creative Digital Media in TUD. I am 20 years old and I enjoy skateboarding and playing piano.  I have only been properly learning to skate since the start of September. I've fallen more times than I can remember in those 4 weeks but they're worth it and a sign of progression in my eyes. Not only have I learned to skate but I've made some good friends too. The skate park is now a second home to me and I am so thankful for the good people in that humble community.  I've played piano since I was 7, first starting on a keyboard then a few years later moved on to a piano. I have a love/hate relationship with piano after being practically forced to do lessons every week for over 10 years but I have a special place in my heart for certain songs. Every now and then I go to learn a new song but ultimately just learn the first few bars and then give up. I hate that I do that so with skateboarding I&#

Game Idea Research

 Game Idea Research I have decided to go with the idea of a game similar to "Firewatch". I feel like I can do more with this kind of game style as it has a more open world feel to it rather than a level type game such as "Monument Valley". I think a Covid-19 themed game would be appropriate as it is relatable and everyone is affected by it one way or another. This idea could either deter people or intrigue them as the virus is viewed differently, some care about the well being of others and some don't. Game Mechanics 1. Role play:  I like the idea of playing as an entity that cares for the well being of the populous of the area they are in. They would be protecting the people from the virus as it spreads around the map. 2. Collecting: The entity would collect the virus around the area stopping the spread and keeping people safe. After collecting there will be a safe area to put all the collected virus and contain it to stop the spread. 3. Capture/Eliminate: At t

Game Design

 Game Design What I really like about games is that there is no right definition for it. A game can be anything as long as you have the right criteria. There are so many different genres for games and sub-genres, for example action games, action-adventure games, adventure games, role-playing games, simulation games, strategy games, sports games, puzzle games and idle games. Each of these have sub-genres have multiple different options within. In my opinion I feel like game development is really difficult there seems to be a lot going on but hopefully with this module I will find a better understanding to the ins and outs of game design and development.  A screenshot of a simple game in development Image Source
