Unity Tutorial 07


(image showing Unit 4 - Gameplay Mechanics tutorial details, source)

 

In this weeks unity tutorial I started the Unit 4 tutorials where we go over gameplay mechanics and make an arcade style sumo battle where the player has to knock enemies off a floating island.

In lesson 4.1 I first created the project and opened the scene. I then set up the player and added a texture to the player. I then created a focal point for the camera and coded it so that the player can rotate the focal point of the camera. I then gave the player a forward and backward force and set it to move in the direction of the focal point. 

In lesson 4.2 I added an enemy and gave it a physics material to make it bounce away. I then created a script so that the enemy will follow the player. I then also made a spawn manager for the enemies and set their span point randomly. 

In lesson 4.3 I chose and prepared a powerup for the player. I set it so that the powerup gets destroyed on collision with the player and then tested it for when the player collides with an enemy. I then applied an extra knockback for when the player has the powerup. I then created a countdown for the powerup so it doesn't last forever and also added an indicator so the player knows the powerup is activated.

Introduction to a future [Please Enter Career]

Hi all! Just want to write an introduction to who I am and a few things about me. College Life  One of my favorite classes that I took last year was Website Development. I found it enjoyable and interesting to learn all about developing websites from scratch using HTML and CSS. I put my time and effort in and feel like I came out of the module with some good Websites. I feel like this year, while in my 2nd year of this course, I will really enjoy Website Design as I'll learn more about building websites and add on to what I know already. One of my biggest accomplishments of last year was learning a lot of skills like building websites, learning how to use Illustrator and Photoshop and creating video's from my own content. I found it enjoyable and was excited to learn these skills and can't wait to accomplish more using these skills in the future. My goals for this module is to learn more about multimedia, using different platforms available such as Twitter and blogging. Ano

Game Idea Research

Image
  (image of 3 characters  from subway surfers,  source ) For my game idea I will stick to a game that is similar to how subway surfers is. I've played a lot of Subway Surfers when I was younger and am well accustomed to their game mechanics and would like to try to make something similar. The first game mechanic that I would like to have is to make or generate an endless track that only stops when the player hits an object and losses for example. This would mean that I don't have to make each individual part of the track and only a frame for it. A second game mechanic that I would like to have are obstacles and objects that the character has to avoid. These can come in many shapes or forms such as objects you just have to dodge, ones that you can jump over and possibly some that you can slide under if I can figure out a way to make the player slide. Another obstacle I could have would be to make an object come towards the player. A third game mechanic that I would like to have

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. It is found at this  link . I made the character run, jump, go left and right which as the movements he'll need in the game. I took my time with it so I can get
