Unity Tutorial 05

For this weeks Unity tutorials, I had to watch two videos. The first video was learning how to add a dynamic HUD in unity. The video's length was just over 20 minutes and the tutorial proved useful. It showed how to look at an object and pick it up, using extra cursors and working on the game's script helps achieve this, using Microsoft Visual studios and programming it using code. The code will help implement the feature of picking up the gem in the game and the sound is triggered as this is done.

In this next tutorial, I learned how to add more environment to a project and creating a weapon with animation as well. Firstly I downloaded an asset which was a fence and then added it into unity by dragging and dropping it in, changing the size and making it look good within the engine. Then a box collider is added to the fence. Then a texture is added to the fence to make it look better within the game. Now I have to add the weapon, an axe to be specific. I downloaded it and it is in the assets folder. Then I add the axe to the first person controller, I have to resize it to make it in scale. I move the axe around to try and make it sit more naturally when used by the player in the first person. After that, I learned how to add a swinging animation for the axe when it is used in the game.

Game Idea Research

A collection of different platformers I took inspiration from. I have decided on a game idea from the many I thought up of in last weeks blog post and the idea I have chosen is. A classic platformer, while yes some might say its overdone, I love these kinds of fun and easy to pick up and play games, they are simplistic but charming and fun. There will be 3 mechanics that I have thought about implementing into the game. The game will have a simple story, and charming yet again simple graphics and art style. The key word for this game is simple as I want to make it easy to pick up and play but also be fun and not a chore to play either. The story is about a lone wanderer who has to travel through and discover many places, along his way he has to traverse dangerous perils and collect some artefacts and defeat a villain who, if not stopped could be dangerous. 1. The health bar and a checkpoint system: The first and most obvious mechanic in games will be the player's health ...

Multimedia Assignment: Prototype work

Recently I have started working on my prototype for my Game. I started it on Unity and im following some unity tutorials on how to make platformers, not to copy them but to see what I can do and point me in the right direction though. The prototype is going fine, progress is slow but im trying to get stuff done though, I can imagine only getting substantial work in Multimedia labs though. Also, another issue is finding the time to actually get some work done on the prototype as I have other assignments and having to commute up and down to college every day. Other than that, work is going along fine, working on previous unity tutorials has helped give me some experience in helping to create the game and the detail added to my GDD has helped too as it will give me some focus for making the game too.

Alpha build of game

For this week, I had to continue doing work on my alpha build of the game. Work is going along well, the character is moving and the controls are working well and the levels final design is complete, all that needs to be done is to add a 3rd person camera, skybox, textures and some gems to collect. Here is a screenshot of the game so far and the character model all the textures need to be added to add more life but other than that, Im happy with it so far.
