Unity Tutorial 05

For this weeks unity tutorial things got very interesting. we finally learnt how to add weapons to a map and how how objects  can be picked up. sound effects were also thought in this tutorial although I did have a bit of bother trying to get my sound effects to load properly.

This weeks unity tutorials were really interested and added another dynamic to my blossoming game development skills.

The first tutorial that I attempted this week consisted of picking up an object which for this game tutorial was a gem. this can relate back to my final game as I want my character to hopefully pick up items. this tutorial was one of the easier tutorials to follow but it still thought some of the basics that I really did need to know. I actually found the coding in this relatively easy which was a surprise for me as I usually struggle putting code into unity. The way the character can pick up objects can differ a lot depending on what type of game you make but this is a good starting point in my opinion.

The second tutorial was where things started to go up a notch or two. In this tutorial you had to create an animated object that follows the player camera. I had a lot of struggle with trying to get the camera to follow the object and had to go through many help forums online but eventually I figured it out. I really felt great after I did this tutorial and it has definitely given me more confidence which I hope I can bring forward into my final game that I will make.

These two tutorials were a lot of fun overall and have thought me so much about weapons and camera movement that will be essential to my final game.

My name is Aaron Comiskey and I am 20 years old. I currently study CDM in Blanchardstown and I love the course. I live in Kilmessan, Meath with my family but I hope to move out soon when I get enough money together. I want to be a video editor when I am finished college and maybe work for companies such as BBC or RTE(you have to aim big or you will fail). During this term I want to get better at all things to do with video but I also want to give the other stuff like web design and game development a chance as I may end up loving them and actually want to go into that area after college. I have many hobbies. I am big into the gym and love lifting weights , it makes you feel better and look better so why not do it. I love football and I am a huge Manchester United fan even though we are rubbish now. I play tennis the odd time when I am not too busy also. I post fitness content online not to show off my body or muscles (even though I am proud of the results) More so that I can keep u...

Unity tutuorial 06

Hello guys and welcome back to my blog. For this blog I will talk about my experience with the unity tutorial 6 . As you should already know I am doing the create with code side of unity this term and I really want improve my overall game coding skills. I am happy with progress so far but I still have a long way to go.                                                 Sound and effects The first tutorial was actually pretty easy but it was really enjoyable. I had tried to add in sound effects to my final game last semester but it failed badly . this tutorial really simplified the process of adding audio to a game and made it actually really easy to follow.  I really enjoyed the quiz at the end of this tutorial even though I got one answer wrong which annoyed me a bit .                         ...

Unity tutorial 01

The first thing that I did before I started the tutorial was to watch all the jimmy vegas videos linked on the website., these really gave me a great starting place before I actually attempted the tutorial for myself. The tutorial that I did was the first one I saw called the creator dev . It was an alien shooter game. The really good thing was that you actually got to play the game before you went to make it so you could get a glimpse of how the mechanics were meant to work. The part I enjoyed the most was making my own enemies to shoot. I was disappointed that there was only really two character prototypes to go off but I did the most with them that I could. I found it very difficult to connect different pieces of the course together and make them actually work but eventually I got it right and it was pretty satisfying.This unity tutorial was very good but in general it was very limited and I am excited to get into more in depth unity tutorials in the very near future. overa...
