Unity Free Tutorials

This week I  followed two different tutorials on Youtube. I was working on these separately to my game. The first tutorial showed me how to make an in-game mini-map. The second tutorial I followed showed me how to add music and sound effects. It was a good idea trying out some new tutorials because I now feel inspired to use these in my own game.

It was really easy to make a minimap. I had to make another camera and rotated it 90 degrees so it faced down on my game map. I then changed the perspective to orthographic. This gave the map a flat look. I then made a raw image using the UI tab, which made a rendered texture. I placed the rendered texture on the raw image. After that, I anchored the mini-map to the top right corner of the screen.

The second tutorial was also very easy to follow, I didn't have any problems and was able to get background music working for my game. All you have to do is add an audio source component and write a small bit of script. The final step is to drag the AudioObject and sound onto the script.

Game Brainstorm

Game Brainstorm  I got my first game idea after looking at endless runner games such as "Temple Run", "Subway Surfers", "Sonic Dash" and "Super Mario Run". I noticed a lot of these games in this genre are on Android and iOS devices. This got me thinking about creating a similar game for PC. The first of these games to become popular was "Temple Run" back in 2011. This game made the genre popular on mobile devices which later inspired the other endless runner games I mentioned. Endless running games have very simple controls, such as jumping over and dodging oncoming obstacles. A player's score is generally determined by how far they travel without hitting any obstacles. The games have simplistic controls but are difficult because you cannot stop the forward momentum of your character. Although these games have different art styles the gameplay is the same.  I think this would be a good type of game to make because the gameplay ...

Unity Tutorial 01 Blog

Unity Tutorial  01 Blog After finishing the Unity tutorials, I now understand the basics of the program. The tutorials taught me how to import material into "Unity", and how to make basic terrains like mountains, trees, and grass. They also gave me a quick preview of how to code in "Unity" which I then used to make a gem rotate. I enjoyed adding assets into the game world. After placing more and more objects, the world started to feel alive. The best part was being able to walk around and explore what I just created. I didn't like that all the assets had to be downloaded directly from their website, I would have preferred some to be preinstalled so I could play around with the program more, before moving on to the next set of tutorials. I'm looking forward to watching more tutorials and improving my knowledge of "Unity". The tutorials were easy enough to follow because of their slow pace. I still find getting around the programmes interface a...
