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...

BETA Things Have Happened In My Life.

So.. I have spent many upon many hours this weekend on several 'Unity Free Tutorials' from previous blog posts, and I have struggled a lot. I have tried to implement timers, etc, into my game and absolutely none of it has worked. I cannot figure out the coding, the errors, or C# in general, and the tutorials don't help with the confusion as they aren't exactly what I wanted to achieve. One issue I've had for example is the timer. I've followed around five different tutorials on this particular one as I really wanted to put it onto my game. Each one I've found is a bit different from what I want and doesn't fit the game. Except one, and when I tried to follow it, '(Sprites?)' were introduced and I could not get any of it to work at all. My Own Screenshot of my Unity. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, so therefore, I have absolutely no idea how to fix it. Considering the tutorials I researched were 'extras' that I tho...

Unity Free Tutorials

Unity Free Tutorials This week has been an extremely busy week with deadlines. Unfortunately, due to other massive submissions in these last two weeks, I don't even have a minute spare to practice these tutorials or develop my project until the weekend. But, I have had just enough time to watch these tutorials and understand what is happening in them in order to implement them into my own game. I never even thought about these particular things until I was reading and commenting on other student's blog posts. I'm glad now, as it's just in time right before the end and they are obviously quite necessary in the development and functionality of a game. Main Menu https://youtu.be/_1wMnE06PeU Pause Menu https://youtu.be/JivuXdrIHK0 The coding from both of these tutorials seems quite difficult, and I am positive that I can complete them both separately, but when it comes to implementing them both together in the same game, I'm so sure. Hopefully, it wil...
