                                                                        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 think...

                                   Review Week Comments and Feedback Overall I am finding the feedback I get from my peers very useful. A lot of these comments are very helpful and definitely guide me into making different decisions when it comes to things like making my game and more. The comments that are there for me the most useful are the ones that suggest different ideas for my game putting in their input and their insight into what they think would look and act the best when it comes to my game. Overall I Think the quality of the comments that I'm giving out I'll quite good I feel like while looking at other peoples work and seeing what they're doing in makes me analyse my own project more and maybe add things that I didn't think of to my project. The different types of feedback structures and methods were very useful in giving other people feedback as want to follow the template given ...

                                                          Unity Tutorials For my unity work this week I continued looking at the YouTube channel that I did last week they have great tutorials on many different aspects of my game. This week I continued through videos three and four of their making a beginner game series. Following these videos was quite long and tedious as it wasn't adding much stuff to the game more so adding a lot of mechanics and background workings to need it to be done. I accomplished a couple of things like making multiple platforms, getting my player to go left right open down a lot more smoothly and finally I got my player to not be able to jump multiple times while in the air but only be able to jump once the player has hit the ground this aspect alone took a twenty seven minute to tutorial to do. At one stage I missed ...

                                                                  Project Work For my project this week I learned and applied many new things to my project a lot of the things I did this week were quite nitty-gritty but had to be done in order to make everything run smoothly some examples of things that I did were I learned how to make my player not be able to jump on multiple times whilst in the air. I made it so that you are only able to jump once you hit the ground. I also made multiple new platforms at varying heights. I have some of them vertical and some of them horizontal I also learned how to perfectly match them up. I also learned how to make the movement of my character much more clean and easy to use I  used words and code from the unity input manager and applied them to make my movements better. There's...

                                                                     Game Fun Through my reading this week I found a lot of things very interesting but in particular I found A theory of fun the most interesting. I found it quite insightful learning lots more about the details and psychology behind games. I really enjoyed learning about the different types of games for example type one games these are games that teach us about thinking for example chest teachers all about strategy and foresight in the game. I thought was quite cool to learn that some games that I love for example call of duty or actually type to games and focus a lot more on things like reflex and how quick you are. Something I found quite interesting was how important understanding the concept of fun is and that fun is about learning, learning...

                                                                  Unity Work For my Unity tutorial this week I looked at some very informative videos aiding me in my process for my project. I found a channel on YouTube called coding in flow that and easy to follow tutorial for a a platform style game similar to my idea. As I got confused on my last attempt on starting the project I felt like this was a nice clean start to try again. I watched a good lot of quite long videos of him explaining how to set everything up he was quite slow and easy to follow along with which I found nice. I ran into hurdle when similar to my first attempt I tried to get my character to do something by pressing the space bar it wouldn't work. Eventually I realised it was probably because of my IDE so I downloaded the same one that the man in the tu...

                                                                 Project Work For my project this week I wanted to continue my project I started by looking on how to get my character to be able to jump and also to move forward after setting up the basics last week. I went to my Unity to tutorial to find out how to do that after applying the necessary attributes to make my character do so, I tried to press space for it to jump it would not work I had everything correct but for some reason it would not work. So I decided to start the whole project again. I thought to myself this is quite confusing so I searched out another tutorial on how to do it. I eventually found one that was quite easy to understand but the mechanics still were not working even when following his way. I then decided thought to myself it might be my I...
