Unity Tutorial 02

(image of my game in unity)

This week for my unity tutorials I had a bit of extra work since I kinda slacked on my work last week so this week I had to catch up 😓 but overall I found the tutorials quite easy to start and go through and it was fun exploring the 2d side of Unity. I remember being interested in sprites and this type of game style a few years ago so I'm excited to learn how these game types are made and how to make my own. 

Some of the things I've done so far are include setting up the unity editor to work in making a 2d game. I then went ahead and made my first character and script, character controller and keyboard input and then also worked on the world design, specifically the tile maps which i had to read over twice to get how to paint them on the map 😴 but I managed in the end. 

Then I went on to decorate the world with more sprites and set colliders so that the character can interact and be blocked by certain objects.

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
