Unity Tutorial 06

-
This week I have looked at two more Unity tutorials. The first one was about adding a free Unity asset called a "skybox" which allows you to choose the "atmosphere" of the scene, for example, choosing between things a sun setting scene and a dark sky - these can be achieved by changing things like the intensity multiplier in the "lighting" section at the top, as shown in the picture.

changing the atmosphere through the settings in the tutorial.
 This can create several different settings, making a lighter toned scene or making it very dark.
This tutorial also shows you how to add a windy effect to the game - this makes the trees have a rustling effect like real wind.
This skybox is something I will definitely add my game when I make it - I think it is essential to creating a certain mood or atmosphere in your game and making it more immersive.

The second tutorial was a bit different and jumped off another previous tutorial when I put a weapon into the game - it now used C# to make so that you could pick up the weapon instead of starting the game with it - which seems useful for a lot of types of games such as action, fighting, horror and survival.

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.
