Unity Tutorial 01

So far, I've found the use of Unity quite difficult.

I like the idea of game development, and I am very excited and also eager to learn all about it. But, of course, I am only beginning so it is A LOT of information to take in in only a couple of hours. With practice, determination and time, the skills will follow along.

The most difficult part of Unity, which I found quite daunting, is the number of controls and preferences, etc. It is quite hard to get out of the mindset that you're never going to know the use of every single control in the game, but then again, when you think of all of the adobe skills that we've gained as students, and all of the coding language we are now able to read, it isn't at all out of our capabilities.

Saying that... it will not be easy in any way, shape or form. It will without a doubt be a difficult challenge and it will take a lot of time and effort, but I am excited either way to continue practicing and making worlds completely from my imagination and creativity. It will be a lot of fun!

Introduction to a Future Web Developer.

Hey! This post is a little bit less of the 'fun talk' than discussing my favorite game, but it will still be very interesting. I will be discussing ME! Nothing too personal, I will be focusing on the professional side of my everyday life. At the moment, college takes up most of my time, as you would expect. I am currently in my second year of study in Creative Digital Media and so far, I'm loving it! We aren't really too long into Second Year for me to give a fully-fledged opinion on it, but I can definitely share my thoughts from First Year. First Year was hands-down the quickest year of my life. It is crazy how different your life feels when starting in a completely different environment, especially after coming straight from secondary school, like I did. When you're finally studying and working on something that you want to be doing, you have fun and time really does fly. I definitely know that I'm in the right course. My favorite thing about...

Alpha

So, I've managed to complete the three levels that I hoped to complete. I have added a skybox to the levels also, and have changed the color of the text on-screen (the coin-counter) from black to white, as the black text blended in with the background. My Own Screenshot Of The Updated First Level One issue I'm having is with the materials and textures. I have no idea what's happening with them. All materials are now showing up as the default plain white (they have a pink hue in the screenshot due to the skybox), and it won't allow me to add the textures or materials that I intended to use, and that were used in my first playable. Also, when you play the game, and progress to another level, this happens: My Own Screenshot Of Level 2 For some reason, the hue then changes to kind of a beige color. This only happens when you begin on a certain level and progress to another one during gameplay. If I were to begin gameplay on Level 2, for exampl...

Game Elements

This week's reading consisted of learning the qualities of games, to help with our terminology and language when discussing game design, and also to help our understanding of the never-ending definitions of a game. The elements of 'games' are as follows: ● Players ● Objectives (goals) ● Rules ● Resources and Resource Management ● Game State ● Information ● Sequencing ● Player Interaction ● Theme (Narrative, Backstory, Setting) ● Games as Systems We also learned about a critical analysis of a game, and how it's done. The biggest thing this section focuses on is not giving a grade or a score, but analyzing things that work, figuring out why and developing on that, then the same for things that don't work. Being able to give an actual analysis rather than a statement is extremely important. Analytic Chart "Technical analysis" by hardeep.singh is licensed under CC BY 2.0 BL...
