Game Stories Reading Week 10

Image
 Game Stories Game story is very important and it is necessary for most of the games.Today I read two assays about game stories and what is important for game developers to know about game stories.First assay is "What Every Game Developer Needs to know about Story so this one I think is very interesting and explains a lot about game stories and things that you should know and consider when you are making a game.So this is the most interesting things that I have found for myself in the assay: A Starting Place "Okay, to really get this right, we have to talk about story in general. What has always worked, and what will work in  every  form of story, including games?  We could go back to Aristotle's "Poetics," but a more useful reference is from that curmudgeonly guru of Hollywood screenwriters, Robert McKee, author of the book,  Story , which is based on his many three-day intensive story structure lectures.  Some people have their doubts about McKee, based o...

 Hi Everyone ! So this week I have continued working on my own game last week I added assets created a background and done a lot of work on the code.This week I changed the speed of my background because I din't like the way it looked when I was playing a game so I decided to make it work a little smother.I also added little objects that my player would be collecting throughout the game and a bomb which explodes when player flies on it which I think looks very cool.At this moment I feel that my game is playable and has some challenge for the player but I think there is still something missing which I'm going to try fixing next week.But overall I am really happy with the way everything is going and how the game looks now.Actually in terms of difficulties that I have faced this week was that I didn't save my game last week and I've lost few things that I worked on last week so I had to start everything all over again but it was a good lesson for me now when I add somethin...

Unity Tutorial 9

Image
  Today I have completed another tutorial lesson which was the last part of the game that Ive been working on last week tutorial.In this lesson I learned have to add more enemies and how to make them spawn in waves so for example one obstacles spawns and when you defeat it two spawns and so on.I general this weeks work was very interesting in the way that it teaches us new things that we as a beginners can implement into are own game and also develops our coding skills.During this lesson I faced a problem in my code and I was kinda struggling with it until I found the problem and it was only one letter missing from the code which was a great lesson to me that I need to pay more attention to what I am writing and putting into my code.Overall everything was working great and I got my game working and now I am looking forward to maybe try some of the things that I have learned in this tutorial in my own game in order to make it as good as possible for the player.

"Review Week Comments and Feedback"

Image
  Comments that we have been writing for each other on the project and our game design and ideas in my opinion were really helpful.They help us to understand what other people think about the game we are creating and our blog in general.From reading comments I personally took a lot of advise from people that were commenting on my blog and my game idea which was really helpful.From the comments I was observing what people think about my game and a blog and those little things really helped me to improve my game and a blog as I was going along working on my blog. When I was writing comments for other people I was trying to be as constructive as possible in order to provide really helping advise for the persons blog that I've been doing.Somethimes my comment were similar to what I was writing before and were not always helpful but even when they weren't really helpful I was still trying to say what I like and what is good or bad about their blog.And also when I was analysing other...

Week 9 Reading and Writing

 Hi Everyone! This is week 9 of me doing reading tasks there has been a lot of work done and a lot of articles read during those 8 weeks of work on my blog.In the reading tasks we were looking at things like Game Design,Game Elements,Games GDD and also Game Fun and a lot more I personally found really interesting writing and working on the reading tasks I learned a lot of information from them which helped me with my knowledge about games and little things that are involved into creating games.One of my favourite readings are Game Fun and Game Elements I like this the most because I learned a lot about game elements that should be included In the game and also what needs to be used in the game to make it as interesting as possible.Alos Game Fun because it gave me a better understanding of what a game fun is and how I can make my game interesting and enjoyable for the player.This little things I think were really helpful in terms of giving us better understanding...

First Playable

Image
 Today I did a lot of work in my game mostly with the code.Last week I downloaded all the assets that I needed for my game and I have also created a background for my game.This week I started working with the code in order to get my player moving in my case up and down and forward in order to avoid obstacles.So far I have background ready and now my player is moving I also have obstacles added to my game.The things that I have found difficult today was to get my player moving and not be flying away from my game.In order to avoid my player flying away from the map I added some box colliders which stoped my player from going away I also added Rigedbody to my player in order to add gravity and physics in to my game.Next week I am planning to work on the obstacles and the keys that my player would be collecting along the game.Overall I'm really happy with what I've made so far and I'm looking forward to continue working on my game until my game is going to be fun and enjoyable ...

Unity Tutorial 7

Image
  Today I have completed another Unity game and 3 Unity tutorials for this week.The game we were making this week was a bit more different than the previous tutorials we did.It was different in the way that we had to create objects and apply textures to them we also learn have to apply physics and we added enemy that was trying to push the main player of the map and we had to make the enemy to spawn at random places in the game to make it more playable and enjoyable for the player.Overall this weeks tutorial was very interesting and definitely helpful to us especially when we are working on our own project.From this tutorial I learned a lot of new things that I'm sure will help me in creation of my own game and definitely made me a lot more comfortable with Unity and the code.I am looking forward to implement some of the things I have learned during all the tutorials I have made in my own game that I am working on now I hope ill be able to do a good job on that!
