Week 9 Reading and Writing

 




                                                                     Reading


Overall I really liked doing these reading tasks as I think there is very insightful and show you all of the nitty-gritty details into making a game. Doing his reading tasks really open my eyes into how much work goes into making a game. It showed me there are so many aspects masses and thought that goes into even starting a game. Before doing any readings I did not realise how much work and time actually goes in to the background of making a game and I think it was very useful to learn all about it as it is great knowledge to know. I do think the reading tasks very much helped me in making my game as it showed me different techniques and ways of looking at a game that I feel I could apply to my game. It also gave me a lot of thinking to do when I comes to brainstorming how I won my game to look and many more things. While a lot of the things I learned about were quite advanced I feel like it did not go to waste as getting a deeper look into how games and made can only be a good thing. And I think it's good that I could take what I wanted from these readings and apply the easy bits making my game more professional and also learning good practice when making a game was quite good. Overall I think I'm quite happy with my game project. For going into making it I was quite worried and I never done anything like this before. I'm not the best with Coding so I knew I might struggle when going into the project. But as I started I had a lot of things to help me for example the readings, the unity tutorials, the feedback and much more. I feel like in my head I had built up making a game to be this impossible thing that I couldn't achieve. But now to have started to make my game and knowing that it doesn't have to be something very professional it made me more calm. I feel like a lot of things were laid out very nicely to make the experience the least daunting that it could be. I feel like my greatest accomplishment for this class is actually getting to grips with how to learn unity. I feel like at the start I was so intimidated by the software but I'm actually very proud of myself that I even have a little bit of knowledge on how to navigate around it and how to use it which I thought would take me a lot longer to get to grips with. Another accomplishment that I am very happy with is starting my project and being happy with what I'm doing I was quite worried on how to start my game and what to do but now that I am about halfway through my game I can confidently say I'm happy with what I am making which is something I didn't think I could do thus I am very happy with this accomplishment.

Prototype

                                                                         Project For my project this week I started to put my plan into action. Starting out the project is something that I found the most difficult it took a lot of time to grasp my head around setting everything up and getting more to grips with how to lay things out. But once I found out how to add objects and start that's when things started to get a little bit easier. I started by adding a couple of ground pieces to act like where my player is going to run. I  then added a cube shape from the game object section to act as a placeholder for my character. I placed everything where I wanted it and then started to think about how I'm going to start with coding. At first I thought about following it to tutorial on YouTube but I then quickly realised even these were way too advanced for me. I then thought that the section I had previously done on Unity tutorials section 3 was quite similar to what I want to achieve

Game Idea Research

                                                     Game Idea Research A general idea and a static that I'm thinking I want my game to look like.                                                       http://garara.net/game/wizard-hult The game idea that I decided to go for is a basic platform style game, but because I love Harry Potter so much I wanted the game to be wizard themed. I want that aesthetic throughout the whole game when it comes to things like the background, the character, the enemies and so on. Mechanic 01 The first mechanic I was thinking of putting in it is a jumping mechanic I want the character to be able to jump on platforms and go throughout the game jumping on these platforms to reach the end kind of like a Super Mario game. Hopefully I'll be able to add this mechanic I'm not sure how hard it will be. Mechanic 02 The second mechanic I would like to add to the game is there to be enemies. While the wizard character is going through the wizard world to
