Unity Tutorial 03

Unity Prototype 2

 For this weeks Unity tutorials they took way longer than I intended on spending on them. I kept making minor mistakes in the coding which cost me a lot of time as I couldn't find what it was that was stopping the game from working the way it is meant to. In the first tutorial I learned how to move the player from left to right like last time but the difference this time round was that I stopped the player from going off the edge of the screen by adding an 'if-statement'. This piece of code says that if that player is gone too far to the left or to the right that it will automatically stop. 

The next two tutorials I completed I found much harder than the first. In my head I am still trying to make sense of the Unity interface and the basics of making a game. As the tutorials get progressively harder I am finding myself finding it more and more difficult to complete them by the suggested time.  However I know how important it is to complete these tutorials as they will give me all of the skills I need to create my own game using Unity. 

Thanks for reading - Leslie

    Hey Leslie
    I also spent way to long on the Unity tutorials this week. I hate when you can’t find the issue in the coding it always takes me so long to find them honestly wrecks my head sometimes. I found the second one to be the hardest out of all these sets of tutorials, so we had that in common this week.

Introduction to me!

For this post i've decided to give you an insight into the person behind the blog!  Let's start off with the basics - My name is Leslie McCue and I just turned the ripe age of 22. I am now in my second year of college studying creative digital media. It is definitely not the most normal start to a new college year since we now have to work online but you have to make the most of it. So far I am loving the course and it is great to be able to trial different aspects of media without being stuck doing one thing in particular. I am still trying to find my feet in terms of what route I would like to go down on but everyday week I am slowly realising what I would like to focus on in this course.  Looking back on my first year my favourite class would have had to be photography. I didn't think I would like it as much as I did. For one of our projects we had to do a project design shot which I really enjoyed doing and was really proud of the work I produced. Here is a picture of m...

Game Idea Research

  Escape room game  After receiving feedback from my game ideas, I have decided to follow the path of my 'Escape the Mansion' concept. While I was told that my other three ideas had promise, I found feedback for Escape the Mansion to be the most positive.  Although I liked the concept of the shooting game, looking back  it did seem quite far fetched for my current level of skill this semester, and while both my Cloud Surfer and Getaway ideas weren't poor, they may have also been difficult to programme as they require a high level of skill for designing the aesthetic of the game worlds.  Delving into research for Escape the Mansion, I felt the most important aspect to make it a good game was a solid theme. I would like a fun, but pseudo-horror theme in both the map-design and aesthetic, very similar to the GameCube classic Luigi's Mansion. Luigi's Mansion is a game is I was recommended about by a friend when discussing my project. Upon researching the game, I fou...

Prototype

  This week we had to make a prototype for our game. At the beginning of tackling this assignment I found it difficult as I wasn't sure how to begin or where to start. The first approach I took was to make a basic room from scratch using the skills I have learned from using the Unity tutorials, a few minutes into doing this however I realised how much more beneficial it would be to use Unity assets from the website.  I went online and searched for a medieval room asset which I could use as my template, after searching for an hour or so I found the one pictured above and found it fitted my theme perfectly. I downloaded these assets and placed them into my project. Of course I was not just going to use it as is, I removed some elements and added in pictures and chairs etc from other assets I have found. I had to add a camera to these assets and begin to picture where my player would be placed in the game.   I really love how it looks but as I progress in making my...
