Favourite Games - Uncharted Video Game Series

    My favourite game's of all time is the, "Uncharted" series. These games are third-person action adventure games, that have a great storyline which continues through all games. The games were developed by Naughty Dog Studios and published on the Sony PlayStation. The franchise has seen games releases on multiple different platforms including the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, and PlayStation 4.

    Although the first three games, "Drakes Fortune", "Among Thieves", and "Drakes Deception" was originally released on the PlayStation 3, Naughty Dog later released a remastered version of all three games on a single disk for the PlayStation 4 in 2015. These games all follow the same storyline but finally end with their 2016 release, "Uncharted: A Thief's End". The franchise has also seen other releases, such as, "Golden Abyss" and "The Lost Legacy". These games follow a separate storyline but are just as enjoyable as the others in my opinion.

    The main protagonist Nathan Drake, is a charismatic adventurer who travels all over the world in search of the hidden relics and lost cities. I like the characters personality because he is strong-willed and often makes jokes, which kept me entertained while playing through the games.

    I have played all these games multiple times on all platforms and have enjoyed every minute of it. If your looking for a game that has a great storyline, interesting characters and spectacular gameplay look no further! This game has the perfect balance of exploration, gunplay, and platforming that of which never gets boring. For the better experience, I would recommend playing the remastered games on the PlayStation 4. The remastered version has improved on graphics and a higher frame rate for a smoother gaming experience.

    Overall my favourite game in the franchise would have to be, "Uncharted: A Thief's End". It was a perfect ending to the story, which rounds up all the games storylines into one. When I completed the game, it left me wanting to play more. This game series is truly one for the history books, as each game has won multiple awards.

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 ...

Feedback Strategies

The first article I read "Five Reasons to Stop Saying "Good Job!" by Alfie Kohn. The author explains different reasons why he thinks loving and making your child feel good is very different from praise.  Praise will work in the short run because children just want approval from their parents when they are young. Overexploiting this idea will eventually make kids feel manipulated. Kids will start relying on their parent's evaluations too much if they are praised for every little thing. It's damaging for a child in the long run because when they grow up, they will still feel the need to hear whether what they did was ok from others.  Overpraise will make affect how a child feels when they actually achieve something for themselves. They will not appreciate actual achievements if they are constantly getting praise for anything they do. Children will lose interest in whatever they have to do because they know they'll get praise or rewarded for whateve...

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 minimap I made using the tutorial by Brackeys 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 a...
