Unity Tutorial 02

 

(image of unity challenge 1 project, screenshot from my own unity)

This week in the Unity tutorials I went over lesson 1.4 to finish off my first unity project and then I was issued a challenge.

In lesson 1.4 I learned how to move the vehicle left and right using the arrow or AD keys. I then learned how to change the vehicle's speed so that it can go forward or backwards using the arrow or WS keys. I then learned how to further improve the vehicles left and right movements by making it rotate in those directions and not simply slide. I then cleaned up my code and hierarchy so that it is easy to read and more organized. With that i was finished my first project of moving a vehicle down a path with obstacles in the way. I found this project to be very interesting and fun and it was not to hard to complete either. I like how Unity has features to help us create games easier like how I was able to get my inputs for horizontal and vertical without coding it from scratch.


I then went ahead to do my first Challenge with unity where we had a plane and had to make it move similar to the vehicle and avoid obstacles. As I couldn't remember everything I did when I made my vehicle project I looked back over that one and used to hints to figure out what to do when I was stuck, but over all I was pretty happy with the challenge and didn't find it too difficult to complete and finish successfully.

Game Design Document

Image
  (image of my Dundoc design model) This week I started to create my Game Design Document and have wrote up some of the basic things I need to include in it. Starting off I was a bit lost on what to write but I was able to get through it by using a template on Dundoc and looking at other examples to get a better understanding. having to write the Game Design Document gave me a clearer end goal and direction to my game where I was able to define things such as the characters back story and some more way to add a twist to the game such as actually being able to win the game if you get far enough from the tornado. The link to my Game Design Document can be found  here .

Feedback Thoughts

This week I read 2 articles about Feedback for Learning. These were: -  Neil Gaiman's advice on the creative life -  A fixed mindset could be holding you back I found these two articles very useful and insightful and I love their approach and mindset of how receiving feedback should be! Reading through the first article about Neil Gaiman's advice on the creative life I was intrigued by his advice of no matter how tough things are, just go and make good art. That no matter what you're going through be it good or bad you can go and make some good art out of it. I feel it give that mindset of looking at things from the bright side and taking just the positive. Another good point of his was going and making mistakes. The fact that if you're making mistakes it means you are going out and trying new things, you can't learn without trying new things and being ok with making mistakes. I really like this mindset and I'd want to implement it in my life more. The second ar...

Game Vision Statement

Image
  ( image of a running figure icon,  source ) Introduction:  The game that I want to create is an endless runner game with the objective of getting as far as possible and getting more points. There would be obstacles in the way that the player would have to jump over or dodge. Hitting an obstacle would mean they lose. This game would be a challenging game with the player needing fast reflexes once it speeds up. Target Market:  The target market for this game would be people that are ready for a challenge and like to test out their arrow key reflexes. We want the users to enjoy a fast paced game where they keep coming back to get higher scores. Game Genre:  The game genre will be an endless runner where the player has to survive and get as far as he/she can to get more points. Gameplay:  The gameplay for the game will be all about dodging and jumping over obstacles as the player moves forward. The player will have a starting point where once the game is init...
