Week 8: First Playable Prototype

This week I have continued on working on my Unity game prototype. So far the progress has been slow but somewhat decent. Although later on into development, unity has started to acting up on my Macbook.  The progress I have made so far is mapping out my first level and then what I did was add in some basic 3-D shapes to create a platformer level. The prototype and first levels platforming will be rather basic as im starting out and so is the player when they try it. The level will use 3-D shapes such as Planes and Cubes as effective Platforms and the character model needs more work. I am aiming to implement a decent character model, possibly music, some gems to collect and one or two enemies.

  1. Hey Nathan,
    I can relate to you in terms of progress,my game isn't much different than yours from this point however what i do recommend is adding textures! It really makes a huge different and takes it that one step further in making it look better. I don't know the exact details of the game but if it's outdoor, in the first or second jimmy vegas tutorial he'll show you how to do it! From the looks of the screenshot I don't know if you have a terrain but if you don't, it's essential to add one in, once you know how to add textures and mountains to it , its actually super fun cause it's customized by you! There's also lots of free assets available in the unity store so if you're looking for characters that might be the way to go about it! and all youd have to do would be coding to give them functionality! Good Luck with the rest of your game!

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

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.

Final GDD

This blog post is about my final GDD for my game. This will help me plan out my game and know what I need to implement it. Here is the link to my  GDD on Dundoc
