Unity Tutorial 07!

 Unity Tutorial 07!

I've finally finished the last Unity tutorial, this day has come quicker than I thought it would and before I summarise my experience with the last tutorial, I'm going to list what helped me get through these tutorials:

-Patience (despite Unity crashing, I learned from last semester to be patient and not just give up
-Keeping an open mind (last semester I struggled so much with Unity, leading me to dislike it so much, this semester, I let go of my bad experience and decided to try again with a new approach)
-YouTube videos help... a lot, since Ruby's adventure didn't have video tutorials like last semester's tutorials, I kept going back and forth between Unity and my browser to read what I had to do (I'm 100% sure that I spent more time reading the tasks rather than actually doing them) so I watched bonserdev on YouTube to help speed up the process
-It's okay to ask for help

Now onto the tutorials, the first tutorial which was "Audio" was pretty straightforward, I honestly forgot about adding audio to the game even though it's one of the most important things, until this week. I added background music and added sound to the characters. I had no idea that there was a difference between sound or music for a 2D game and a 3D game, so that was really interesting and that the sound would be at different volumes depending on the distance between the camera (which sounds like a math equation).

In the second tutorial, which was "Build, run, distribute" which was also very straightforward, I adjusted the player settings and "built the game together" meaning that the game was stored in a folder.


That's it for today, thanks for reading my blog!

Introduction!

  My Introduction! Hello Everyone! I will be introducing myself in this  post so you can get to know me. My name is Lougein, I am 20 years old, I have one brother and one sister whom I both love very much, they're both younger than me. I work PART TIME in BoyleSports (the reason part time is in caps is because I am on an 8 hour contract but am doing 40+ hours every week 😔, me at work>>>>) So where do I start, lockdown? Before lockdown I was working 3/4 days a week whilst in college full time, I remember reading the news with my manager at work that the country was going into lockdown and as selfish as I may sound I was kind of glad, I needed a break from working all the time, since I never had a day off during the year, if I wasn't working then I was in college, balancing both work and college was really hard, but I did it! I couldn't be more proud of myself. So anyway, at the start of lockdown, everything felt so different, I went from being out every single d

Game Design!

Game Design! I never really understood how Games were made or how much work goes into Progress of Game Design making them, since I don’t really play games but after reading the articles I was assigned to read, I realised there was so much more to Game Design than what I thought there was. I gained an appreciation for it like I do for Art History, since the making of a game is an art in a way. Our Professor, Shaun,  provided us with many articles regarding Games/ Game Design. The first of them being What is a game? (by Ian Schreiber)   As I started to read and analyse the article, I quickly understood that it wasn’t as easy as just googling the definition of a ‘game’, which according to Google the definition of a game is ‘ an activity that one engages in for amusement or fun’, which made me laugh because I spent so long reading different articles on the definition of a game to read what Google’s literal definition was .  Although there is a definition for a game given by Ian, there are

Prototype!

Prototype! This week I’ve been working on the prototype for my game, I was keeping an open mind before starting this despite my lack of interest and enthusiasm for the game. When starting the prototype I had so much trouble with Unity, it was so frustrating, I kept restarting my laptop, it would work for a little while then shut down again. It got to a point where everything was deleted so that was really annoying but If I had more work done on my prototype I would have been angrier about that. For my prototype for this week, I worked on the homepage of the game. Prototypes
