Unity Free Tutorials

-
This week I have begun to look at my own Unity tutorials as I start to develop the prototype of my game. I will be making a 2D game so I looked up some videos to help me as I have never done anything like this.

This is the first video I watched https://youtu.be/on9nwbZngyw

  

It was a concise tutorial and very easy to follow for a beginner. I didn't have any trouble with most of it except for the part where you had to add the coin in. I couldn't get it to spin on the platform, then I tried the settings again and it worked - it was a little bit confusing having so many settings in as I have never worked with making a 2D game until this tutorial. 

Some of them are different from the 3D settings, but some were familiar, such as the box collider, which made it a bit easier as I already know it's functions and what it does to the game. Besides the trouble with the coin, besides that it was a really good tutorial and I've got my first steps into creating a simple 2D game.

 I also began to look at this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwcT-Dch0bA which looked at character movement in 2D.

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.

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.
