Unity Tutorial 01 I found the first tutorial interesting enough. It was challenging but not too hard to figure out. The instructor in the video tutorials speaks very slow so I found myself putting the video speed up to x1.5. The one thing that I found to be the most confusing was the positioning of the camera. I don't quite know what it is but it doesn't seem to sit right but that could just be me. The coding part of the game works very similar to website coding e.g. HTML and CSS. I think that could be a factor in why I found parts of this  tutorial fairly manageable. I enjoyed playing around with the physics of the crates and the vehicle, seeing what happens when you turn up the speed of the vehicle and the mass of the crates is quite funny. Overall I think the Unity tutorials are good but I can see myself running into some spots of bother with some aspects as I can't seem to wrap my head around certain physics but I'm optimistic!   A screenshot of my Unity Tutorial

Game Brainstorm  I don't play many games but I have seen Youtubers and my friends play many games over the last 6/7 years. Recently I have been trying to get into playing games so I can play online with my friend. Yet again I have no motivation to sit and play games.  I would like to make a game similar to "Cuphead", a run and gun game where you're task is to kill enemies to collect their souls. I tried to play this game a while back and it is so frustrating yet oddly addictive. I have seen people stuck on one level for hours making almost no progress but still going again and again. I would like to create something like a run and gun without the almost impossible aspect to it. I would like it it to still hold that difficult aspect but have it more playable by people like me.

 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
