Review Week Comments and Feedback

 At the start of this year I was not too keen on the blogs and doing the commenting but as the year went on I started to enjoy doing them a lot more, it was a fun way to connect with all the other students and have a look of their multimedia progress through out the years. One of my favourite ones this year that I found myself looking at was Kyle Wrights and Adam Elders. They were so up to date with their work and their projects and overall work has been amazing. They have been real inspirations throughout the year for me and have motivated me to do my work, so massive shout out them them.

Started off with the feedback in, I did read all the feedback that I had gotten, I had taken some advice in but from the start I had my idea kind of set straight for what I wanted to do with my game, A few things have changed and I did try to take on the feedback that I was given. But overall I did not find it that helpful for me as I like doing things my way but I was very grateful for all the feedback I was given and for the people that took their time to read my posts.





For the feedback out is the opposite, I love looking at peoples ide
as and trying to expand them out with my creative mind and trying to help people reach their full potential is my favourite thing to do. With giving the feedback to people I enjoyed doing as it made me think that I could of done what they are doing as I am thinking of many ideas in my head of what they can do that I would like to see and what I would do if I were in there boots of making their game. Overall giving out the feedback was fun, of course for me to enjoy this I will need to have the feedback in from others. But this was my favourite part of doing the feedbacks as I feel like it like me be as creative as I wanted.


On to my introduction blog, It was most definitely my favourite. In that blog I did try give everyone who read the best idea of who I was and tried to give out as many interesting facts of who I am. I did find myself connecting with people from the course and especially my new group and I was easier to connect with others when I had a read through theirs, for example Cormac, I never talked to him before this year but we had found out we have many similar interests like football, video games and terrible dad jokes. But then commenting on other peoples blogs and having fun was a nice nature to have around the room and everyone who I had connected with have been so nice to me so far this year.


I would not make any changes to the blogs personally. I believe others do find it that it was too much to try keep on top off with the Unity stuff which it was and can be very tiring at times. When you do finish it and then that demotivates you to do any other work for the day was my only issue, and for others too that I had talked to. Other than that I enjoyed doing all the blog stuff this semester and I hope I can see be used again in the next one cause it was a fun way to connect with people and see how they are doing throughout the year

Project Process

Image
I have started to build my first 2D game today. I started this by opening up the Unity Hub and started a new project. I went into this project with one image only. That being a plain white square that I would use as my building blocks for making this game possible. I started off simple by making the white cube my player and added my movement script. So he can move side to side. I did say in my game document I would like it to be a constant movement to the right but I say it would be a little too difficult for the pace I had made the game. I had also added a jumping mechanic too to the player. I had also so far stuck with my colour scheme with the black and red I believe it works very well and it helps contrasts all the different surroundings in the game When I move on to next weeks tasks I will want it so the purple cube causes the player to die and restart at the start of the level again. I also need it so when the player falls through the map he also dies so I will need to try figure...

Tutorial 03

 This week took a long time to do compared to last week. As there was so much scripting to try to understand between both of the tutorials we had to do. But once again some of it looking very familiar from last semester using voids, if statements and floats again for the first time in a while. In the first tutorial I done I was working with making a health system for Ruby. This was a lot of scripting today to make all of this possible I first added a health stat to him and made him lose 1 if he took damage from an entity. I then also made a health collectible in game that would add a life bar back to the player. In world interactions I then worked on making these things interactable such as giving Ruby health back in the game when the collectible is touched. I started working with triggers again which I also had experience from last semester the only difference was the 2D at the end. Using health in the 2D seems a lot easier than the 3D from last year and I have most definingly lea...

Tutorial 05

 Doing this weeks tutorials seemed to be going quicker than the rest and I feel like this will help me making my final game for this semester and that these two tutorials will bring me a long way into making my game perfect. Starting off with the camera. Cinemachine was very easy to install and import to my game . Cinemachine helped me control my camera settings much easier to my main character. And was a lot different in what I had to do last semester and all the scripting that came along with that. I found this a bit easier to use in my opinion but maybe that is because I had a hand to hold while using it reading the tutorial. But this will help me when I want to stop the camera from going outside the map and I believe will make my game a lot better if I do decide to do something similar to this. Moving on to making the particles. This section was very long to read through and I found myself missing a few lines while reading. But overall this part was easy enough. I had some use ...
