Week 9 Reading and Writing

Today I will not talk to you guys about articles or videos. I will talk to you about my experience with this course. This blog will include things like what was my favorite reading, my biggest accomplishment so far in this class and what I think of the reading task.

So to start off with my favorite reading this semester. I really enjoyed the reading task from week 3. Those articles and the video were about what is a game. I really enjoyed this reading task as I found it interesting. It made me understand what a game is made out of, the purpose of a game and how people working in this industry see it.

Moving onto my game project. I have a mixture of feelings about it. Thinking of me making a game and doing the Unity tutorials got me very excited about the idea but actually starting it I wasn't so excited about the idea as I found it harder than I thought and I'm worried about how far I can go with this in the period of time I have. I still want to do the best I can and I won't give up but I really underestimated how easy all this is.

My favorite Unity tutorial was the one we done in week 7.

I really enjoyed this as we got to add animation effects from jumping, running and when the player collides with the obstacles. We also got to add sound effects and music. This is one part if my game project I haven't thought of at all. So doing this tutorial was very beneficial and fun for me.

I'm looking forward in finishing my game and see how far I got with it. I really hope I will get to achieve what I was expecting. If that won't happen I will make sure I do better in our next semester.

That's it from me. I hope you enjoyed my writing. We are getting closer and closer to our Christmas break and I think we all need a little break from online learning.

See you later during this week,

Denis.

Introduction To Someone

Welcome back! So today I will introduce myself. Talk about things I like doing and things I don't. Well, I'm 20 years young, my nationality is Irish but I have Romanian parent. I never know what to answer when people ask me where I'm from as I have an accent, so I just say "I'm a foreign Irish person". I'm a big fan of sports (NOT FOOTBALL). My favourite sports at this moment are boxing, golf, surfing and the gym. I've done boxing for 5 years but stopped as I wanted to gain size and boxing had way too much cardio in it. So I joined the gym and I'm addicted to the gym. I train 6 days a week and my weekly gym plan is Push, Pull, Leg day and repeat. During my Push days I train chest, triceps and shoulders as to train those muscles you do exercises that involve a push motion. For Pull day I train my back, biceps and forearm as those muscles involve a pull motion to train them. And, leg day is just legs (LEAST FAVOURITE DAY IN THE GYM). The rest of the...

Game Vision Statement

SMtraining SMtraining is a shooting game. In this game you train on different targets. There will be a timer for you to find and shoot those targets. SMtraining stands for "Single Mode Training". The genre of this game is FPS (First Person Shooter)/Action. Layout The game will be provided with a menu to start off with. This menu will contain the following, the game logo or name, a "PLAY", "WEAPON", "QUIT" button.

The gun option will be an AK-47, Shotgun, Pistol. The layout I came up with for this page is very simple and straight to the point. When the play chooses their gun option it will bring them back to the main menu where then can press "PLAY". When the player presses the play button it will bring them to another page were th...

Prototype

SMtraining Today I finally started creating my game. I have to say, this was way harder than it looks. I have made the basic layout and scale of my map. I found it extremely difficult to figure out the right scale for my game. I had to play around with different scales constantly to find the right size. Finally, I found the right scale after a few hours of playing around. I have used two different assets to create my walls and floor. The links to the two assets will be found here: Yughues Free Concrete Material High Quality Bricks % Walls I have used the Standard Assests to create my first person player for my game. I haven't added any guns yet. I will continue with my game next week. Next week I will be adding in the gun for the player and I will add more items to my map. This is an image of what I done so far. Slowly but surly everything will be done and the game will be fully playable. Thank you for stopping by. See you next week, Denis.
