Unity Free Tutorials

For this weeks unity tutorials, I had to look up and find tutorials online. I looked up some on youtube, especially tutorials for platforms as my game will be a platformer.  The tutorials I have found are from the same channel as the previous tutorials, Jimmy Vegas but this time around the tutorial is about making a platformer. So this means the tutorials aren't too complex and familiar.

Unity Tutorial Platformer 1

This tutorial isn't exactly deep nor complex, its just going through the basics again, like the first unity tutorial and honestly is a nice refresher. All this tutorial is showing us how to set up a new project on unity, how to mess around with the layout, make basic 3-D shapes like cubes and spheres, simple stuff really.

Unity Tutorial Platformer 2
This tutorial is rather simple as well, all I had to do here was take some textures and add them to the 3-D shapes I created in the last tutorial above. It also shows how to make the textures have more recessed and add more detail to them. Then after that we create multiples of the shapes and group them together, this is known as grouping.

Introduction by Nate

Hello, I'm Nathan, a second-year student at ITB. I'm 20 years old and from Cavan. This blog post is about me and hobbies, aspirations etc. If you're reading this, then I'm surprised you want to go through such torture. First of all, I really enjoyed CDM year 1. It was a great experience and felt it was fun and got to meet great people and do interesting things. I still can't get over the fact I'm in college or I even made it to the second year. Thought I would've had a mental breakdown at this point When doing the semester last year, I really enjoyed Storytelling and narrative. I find it fascinating to sit down and talk about films, I'm a bit of a movie buff so I did enjoy breaking them down and even tell a story or two. Honestly my biggest accomplishment last semester was actually getting through to second year and hell, even surviving it knowing me. My goals for this module is to plan out and hopefully make a small film for our group project as its...

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.

Game Vision Statement

Megaman style gameplay link:  Link to image The genre of game I was thinking of doing was a retro style platformer in the same vein as Mario or Mega Man. What I mean by that is the game will be a side-scroller with enemies and possibly bosses at the end, finding collectables and use power-ups. The gameplay will take a healthy mix of Mario and Mega Man. The gameplay will take the style of attacking and powerups and consumables like Mega Man with the simplistic and casual fun Mario provides. It's challenging but not annoying or frustrating to the point of forcing the player to quit.
