Game Stories

 I really enjoy this weeks reading with the whole story telling in video games, a couple of years ago my favourite story telling game was Minecraft story mode. At the time just regular Minecraft was super fun to play and I was not sure on how they were going to turn it into a game. But with a more 3D and personal connection with the characters. Sacrifices having to be made, a character in the storyline dying. Although I loved this game after having a read I do have some thoughts that had gave me a different look on things


Firstly after watching the video, the narrator was right with most story based games, although I may get a personal connection with some of the characters, most of the time the storyline is still the same just with different outcomes at different times if you decide one or the other. So I think for future story games having that bit more random outcomes based on the actual game play would be fun and probably more challenging

It seems difficult to make a story based game though as a lot of thought has to go into it, you need the plot, story line, characters and then actually making the game itself. If I ever were to go into game design again, I don't think I could be able to make a story based game although I do believe I have a very creative mindset.

Project Process

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...

Reading 05

 After watching this weeks video about coding my work for the bibliography, I have found out how to do it and how it all works. I think this technique will be very useful for finding information when it comes down to making the final chapter for the book. I believe this technique is very useful and it takes very little time to do, as all you need to do is to skim through what I have already wrote down and find the themes that match the colours that represent them. I do believe that this coding and themes will help me when I start to write my final piece. The video I watched very helpful and having the lecture in person helped me understand this concept a lot more.
