1st Playable Stage

-
This week I am trying to create the first playable stage of my video game. I have found it quite difficult because I find Unity quite hard to use. So far, following the tutorials is okay but sometimes I run into a problem that I can't fix even if I follow the tutorial word for word. 

The good thing is it often works if I try again and again and go back to videos I've already seen and try what didn't work before again. I am doing a bit of the game every day to meet my goal but as I said sometimes it is quite difficult to get the game to work especially the parts where I need to input C# code. I feel as though I am quite bad at this.

 I'm a bit further than where I was last week but it's still very difficult to get it to work for me.

    Hey Anna!,
    I really enjoyed reading through your blog post for your 1st playable stage today. I'm also making a 2D game because of the plugin that I was recommended to use is to be done in 2D only. So far your game looks really cool and fun! I also have struggled getting the #c code to work for me too. It can be really tricky to use sometimes. I'm also struggling trying to develop my game further as the weeks go on because something seems to always go wrong and I'm right back where I was last week. I even started from scratch a couple of times because everything got erased on me. I hope that your able to fix your issue that your having and finish your game. Anyways,
    Good Luck !

    Hey Anna,

    I agree, Unity can be very hard to use. I have also struggled quite a bit when trying to make my game. Don`t worry though I am sure that we will both be able to finish our games. I like the concept of a 2D game as most people I have spoken to are making a 3D game. I guess yours is going to be unique! I am glad that you`re making progress, even if it is just small steps all the way. Thats how we will all make it through. I hope you can get your #c code working soon, It can be super frustrating when you get stuck on a specific part of your games.

    Good luck with the rest of your game design, I can wait to see the final piece!

    Hey Anna,

    I think everyone can agree that Unity can be very difficult to use at times.. Im having a lot of trouble myself with the coding side to creating a game and it can be frustrating when it fails to work. I think its a good idea to make a 2D game and it looks really good from the photograph. It looks like your game is taking shape and your making a lot of progress. The level looks really fun and I love the use of bright vvid colours, your game has a fun vibe to it! I hope you continue to make good progress and I can't wait to see the finished piece!

    Hey Anna,
    I really enjoyed reading your blog and I too feel the same way as you with working with unity tutorial that it is very hard to follow and especially with c# script they're very confusing in my opinion. I also had a lot of trouble with unity many error started to come up also with slow laptop is more frustrating to work on the game. Your game design looks really cool, I really liked the bright colour used, your game gives a lot of happy and lively vibes. I think a lot of people will love to play your game. Can't wait to see how your game will turn out. Good luck with your game!

    Hey Anna,
    I completely agree that unity is really difficult to use! Unity is especially hard to use on a slow laptop and it can be very frustrating.. sometimes I have to spend hours on one video just to get it right! I like how your game is 2D and I really regret not doing a 2D game! So far it looks really good! Glad that you are making progress even if it is slowly! I really like the colours that you used in your game it makes it look fun and bright. I think your game is suitable for everyone and everyone will be able to enjoy it! Good luck with your game!

Introduction

This is a little introduction post for this blog as I continue my course into the semester. I think CDM has been interesting so far. It's quite different from last year. Last year, the best class I took by far was Photography, it was so fun and I loved taking photos in such an artistic manner. I loved going into the studio and using the flash and playing with the lighting and setup. It was a really interesting module and I'm a bit sad we don't have it this semester. I'd definitely love to do some more photography again because it let me express myself in so many unique ways using various techniques taught to me in the class. I'm not sure I'd like a career in photography after I leave college but I will say its very fun so far. This is a very early photo of my cat Bella I took when starting out with my DSLR camera. I'm glad I take so many pictures of her because I like to look back on them! My goals for this module is to be competent enough in Unit

Final GDD

This week, I have finalized by GDD ( https://www.dundoc.com/project/4800/9ci821tfu4 ) and made a good few changes to it. I have expanded on a lot of concepts that I have written about, and updated the concept art. I have also included new pictures which give a better image of the kind of game I want to make, including the atmosphere I want to invoke in the game. I used this picture to show the sort of scary, moody atmosphere I want to implement into the game. I also made some changes and added to the gameplay descriptions, giving more specific and detailed explanations.

Game Design Document

This week I have created a much more in depth GDD, expanding on my Game Vision Statement. I put a lot of thought into creating this vision. I have included information such as the controls, what kind of art style the levels will have, and weapons I have done this on a site called dundoc.com which specialises in creating game design documents. I have laid out the necessities of the game, beginning with the story and characters and continuing on into the art, levels, and gameplay mechanics. Here is the link to my own GDD:  https://www.dundoc.com/project/4800/9ci821tfu4 My Game Design Document.
