Planning

 Hi we are back with another series of game development. This semester we will focus more on the research of game development. This week we have learned how to used the TUD source engine (online library). I found this very useful as it will same me the time of browsing on google for reliable sources. Also having access to e-book will be very useful as there is more in depth information on such sources.

We all had to choose a section of game development which we will be looking into and learn as much as possible about it. I first chose the topic "Open World".  Unfortunately there isn't enough to write about this topic so I decided to choose "Progression Mechanics". I am waiting to speak to my lecturer about it and see if this will be a better choice.

From having a look on the topic I found some keywords that stood out the most:

  • Level Up
  • Unlocking new skills
  • Checkpoint
  • Achievements
  • Time

We also have a choice of making a 2D game, XR or a e-learning project. At the moment I am unsure which to choose between the 2D and XR. Anyways, we will both find which I will go with very soon.

I am very excited about this semester and I can't wait to share my experience with you guys!

Thank you,
Denis.

Reading 09

Hi all. This week we have focused on fixing our papers. This was challenging as I find it hard write academically. I am glad to get the chance to improve my writing. For this week I have rewritten my introduction and conclusion as I believe they weren't good. I also fixed up my paragraphs where I found mistakes.  I am pretty happy with how it is at this moment and I am happy to continue on with my weekly tasks after Easter break. I hope everyone will enjoy this break as we all need it. Thank you, Denis.

Unity Tutorial 06

 Hi all, Today we have done our second last tutorial of Unity! This week we have added in a health bar for our player and a new character. The bar looks great and I was happy to learn how to do one. I am glad I got to do one and see how it works. Screenshot of my own work. The bar was very simple to do compare to what I thought it would be like. I am very happy to be one week away from finishing the Unity tutorials.  I struggle with the animations to get it right so that took me quite a while to do for my new character but I managed it at the end! This is the first game that really feels like a game from all Unity tutorials we have completed so far.  I will see you all next week when I get to finish up this game! Thank you, Denis.

Doing Reading 05

This week we have broken down my research articles into 6 themes. We had to break down our writings into sentences to shorten it down to find the themes. I have done that before doing my own writings. I found shortened the articles into sentences to help me develop them in my own words. Using those notes I have and rereading my writings I came down to the following themes. The link between Game Progression and Engagement Automating Game Progression Difficulty balance within levels What is Game Progression (Key Elements) Implementing education (eg. chemistry) within game progression The difference between Progression and Emergence Those themes and note will help me write my own bibliography.  I will see you all new week. Thank you, Denis.
