Prototype

  (image of character pack on unity,  source ) This week I started on my prototype and I first went looking for some assets I could use in my game. I found the above free character pack in unity which also includes the animations I need for the game like running and jumping. I also looked for a map that I can keep repeating in the game. I found something which works but I'm not sure if it will be my final map I use for the game. It is found at this  link . Another thing I found in the asset store was an Endless Runner sample game that is completed and I got that asset so I can use it as a point of inspiration and help if I get stuck in the future. The game asset is found at this  link . I then wanted to focus on my player movements and I found a tutorial that went over the movements of a character in an endless runner.

Reading 03

  (image taken from RefWorks of my 4 readings) This week for my reading that I had to find and select 4 academic papers on my topic, dimensions of a game world. I searched through quite a few papers and found 4 that I would focus on this week and saved them in RefWorks. I made sure to read the abstracts and conclusions so that the papers are relevant to my topic. I'm still finding it a little difficult to find some suitable papers but the ones I've found so far are similar enough to what I'm looking for. They are: Defining the Physical Dimension of a Game Setting - Ernest Adams Gamasutra Dimensions of video game behavior and their relationships with personality - Narnia C Worth, Angela S Book The Geology of Minecraft - Georg Kleinschmidt Authoring Adaptive Game World Generation - Ricardo Lopes, Elmar Eisemann and Rafael Bidarra I went through these 4 papers highlighting what I found to be important and commenting the main points I took from the papers. I then go...
