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.

Introduction Post

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...

https://www.developereconomics.com/break-game-design-part-1-get-started To start off this I watched the video that you linked on the website. The first thing I got from this video was the mechanics and dynamics of a game. these are vital to how you game will look and play. mechanics are the rules or constraints for the game e.g kill 50 zombies on dead island 2 and you complete level 3 .  dynamics go a bit more in depth but they go into what strategies go into figuring out the rules of the game  e.g you have to jump 5 times to kill a mushroom boss in mario 2.  Each game is made up of several different abstractions. the next thing that really made me think was that we need to get past using words such as fun. I fully agree with this as so many different people mind different things fun and others find them boring so instead of using the word fun try use the words "well made".  this article was quite confusing to understand at time but I still do think it gave me...

unity free tutorials

so today I was super busy trying to get an alpha of my website completed so I only got time to do one unity tutorial but the tutorial that I did do has helped me put the final pieces to my game so I am pleased with that aspect of it to be honest. i watched this tutorial . This tutorial was really interesting and I liked how the guy broke it down really well and made it super easy to follow. A main menu is something I should have had before I suppose but i just never thought about it which is stupid I I know.  I liked how it actually was not that hard to code and you could easily change the buttons and menu layout to suit whatever game it was you are making. this tutorial did drag on a good but near the end but I manged to follow it through to the end and I am very happy with what I have learned from it, overall today unity tutorial was great as it really helped me finalize parts of my game and make it look more professional which is exactly what I wanted.
