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.

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.
