Unity Free Tutorials

It took me some time to try and find the right tutorials that I wanted to use, but in the end, it was worth it as I found the perfect ones!

So, first of all, I've been (and still am) extremely behind on the project aspect of this module. I took a week off of uploads due to other priorities in different modules building up too much, and that was a huge mistake, it then began to build up more and was too daunting and I felt like I couldn't move on without going back to do it all. But, here I am now, trying my best to do what I can.

A little update on what my actual idea is:
The idea I decided to go for (if you read my game decisions blog) was the maze game. I felt like this was the most realistic to execute with the skills and knowledge that I have. Considering that I decided to practice unity away from the weekly tutorials in my own time, and this is the most I could achieve, I think my other ideas were a bit far-fetched. There were a lot of errors that I had no idea how to fix or what they even were so I couldn't continue with it.

NOW THE TUTORIALS!

I luckily found some tutorials that suit my idea perfectly.


This first one is exactly what I pictured and it really achieves everything that I want it to, step by step. I don't want it to look exactly like it does in the tutorial, I am adding different textures and materials, of course, to give it my own twist. And the levels will obviously also be laid out differently. But the tutorial covers the mechanics perfectly.


The second tutorial is a timer. Like a stopwatch, counting up and not down. The reason why I wanted to include this was to encourage players to continue playing to beat their records.


The third one is a very simple skybox tutorial that I came across as it was the exact design I envisioned for my sky.

Although I've allowed this module to cause me (a lot) of stress, I am fully aware that the fault is mine, and I'm prepared to now power through to my full capabilities!

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 Brainstorm

My brainstorming session has gone a bit better than I expected. I've come up with some interesting ideas that I think will be quite fun to experiment with and create. 1. A horror game. 2. A mystery game. 3. A maze game. 4. An obstacle-course game. Although I don't play games, and barely ever have, I feel like I have some fun ideas for games to create. A Horror Game: I'm a big fan of horror movies, so this is where my inspiration for this idea has been drawn from. The idea in my mind is a character, completely lost and confused in a field of some sort, they start to explore and find paths to follow. On these paths, they find items that trigger memories about why they're there and how they got lost. They eventually arrive at a barn, where they explore some more and find unrecognizable corpses around the area. They then get hit over the head with something, wake up with fully realized memories and an instinct to escape. (I haven't fully developed the story bu
