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.

Unity Tutorials 02- B00101733

For this first tutorial, Its all about improving graphics, simple objects like walls, water and sounds in unity. Firstly we add a sounds effect to unity then we do some coding. This helps with the sound effect just added.  After that we work on implementing the sound when the player touches the object, it makes a ding sound. Then we work on creating a brick wall to add more to the world and add textures to the world to make it look better and more natural.   In the second tutorial, we learn about implementing UI into the game (user interface) and a cursor into the game, a common part of UI when dealing with games that have a first-person perspective. And we also go through Raycast aswell. We start creating the cursor by going into the game object tab and then UI and then raw image, it creates a canvas amongst other things in the hierarchy. Then the raw image is in the centre of the screen when we play the game, so we need to size it down to something more manageable to b...

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 ...
