Unity Tutorial 04

 


This week in my unity tutorials I progressed with my Ruby's Adventure game. I delved into sprite animation and world interactions -projectiles.

I was excited to learn about sprite animation and how it all works. I first started by adding an animator component, I then went on and made a new controller. I then went on to learn how to make animations from what I had in the assets folder. I learned how to change a sprite, create an animation and build the controller. I then went to the blend tree, set parameters and sent them to the animator controller and modified my script. 

I then moved on to world interactions - Projectiles. I first created the projectile from the sprite named CogBullet, then I created a physics system to be able to launch the projectile. I also learned more about what the instantiate function does in Unity. I then worked on fixing a few errors and setting up my layers and Collisions. I then went ahead with fixing the robot and cleaning up the code so we don't cause performance issues.

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 .

This week for our Reading Task we read the following: What is a Game, Anyway? The organic nature of game ideation Four basic methods for generating ideas When it comes to what a game might be, a definition I have come across in my readings is 'A play activity with rules that involve conflict' which is an easy way to put it. In fact it is more complicated than that especially when you compare different game styles. To get a solid meaning of what a game might be, you have to be using the same vocabulary across all games, which is still being defined as new games come out and new words are added.  To put simply these are some of the definitions when it comes to games: Games are an activity  Games have rules, conflict, goals and involve decision making.  Games are artificial, safe and outside of ordinary life.  We, as players gain no material gain And many more When it comes to game ideation, from the paper that I read, the interviewees have seen game ideas d...

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...
