unity tutorial 4

welcome back to my blog guys and today I will be attempting the unity tutorial 4 . I have chosen to do the one with code as the VR one looks a bit complicated. these tutorials were fun to preform but they did cause me a lot of challenges which I will go into in this blog.

                                                                    Lesson 2.1 Player Positioning 

this lesson was very interesting. it started with getting us to create another new project.  I found it very fun when we started adding in animals as it was something that I have never attempted before but I actually got the hang of pretty quickly which surprised me a lot.  step 4 was very hard as I kept missing the place to declare a public float but after I found that the rest of code fell into place.  overall this tutorial was more advanced than anything I have ever attempted in the past but once I broke it down and took my time the code actually started working. 


                                                      Lesson 2.2 Food Flight
the next lesson I did was called food fight. now this one was very cool.  to start off this tutorial you had to attach the script to the food object this was pretty simple.  making a prefab was a complete new thing and this really confused I had to look up so much extra stuff about it to fully understand what it was.  launching the projectile Ising the space bar was actually a lot harder than it should of been but I think I was just being stupid. destroying stuff off screen was very interesting to do but the code was actually a stress to do. overall I got most of the tutorial but the end part would not work so I just moved onto the next one. 

                                                     Lesson 2.3 Random Animal Stampede 
I have to say the 3rd tutorial was extremely hard and my unity kept crashing and saying error butI still gave it a real good go.  the code on this tutorial really got to me and even when I was sure I had it in the right place it still wouldn't work. I will try look into this tutorial more this week as I know it is very important stuff to know. 

overall I am definitely improving with unity a lot this term but I still have a long way to go

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

prototype

Over the past week I have had so many assignments to submit and with the blogs we have to do each week I have not have had much time to work on my game in unity. I have been watching the two tutorials that I linked in my previous game idea and I have drawn up a few prototypes on sheets of paper. By next week I hope to have a good bit of my game complete to show you. I am happy with the vision for my game. My level is not going to be very complicates as I find if I add too much into it that it will just become confusing and I will not be able to complete it. I want my final game to hopefully be fully complete . Everything in my game is going good except for the fact that unity is limited and its hard to customise weapons, characters and other things as you are very limited by the options it has on it. that is a screenshot from the tutorial I am using . for my game there is a lot I still have to consider. I have to try add in sound efects but not ones that sound really bad and

Game Brainstorm

Before I even started this blog, I researched for about 35 minutes and found many games that I wanted to base my idea off. These 4 ideas are very different and I will probably go with the one that is easiest to make with unity. So for my first idea I looked up puzzle games. Puzzle games are something that really interest me as you feel so great when you finally crack the puzzle and figure it all out. for this research I used this website that really helped me understand what makes a good puzzle game. from reading this article I found that puzzle games have to be challenging but you have to be subtly pushing the player of the game towards the correct solution. you need to play test every puzzle first to see if it works and do not make it too difficult as the player will get fed up too quickly.making a puzzle game is a puzzle itself as you first have to come up with a puzzle . so I will probably not go with this idea but I am very interested to make a puzzle game in thew future
