Week 8 Progress

Judging by the progress chart and my current points I should be able to get an A if I keep working hard. I'm happy with points so far because I wasn't expecting to have this many points at week 8. The extra credit assignments have helped boost my points up a bit. I have done a lot of extra comments and tech tasks. The class assignments I Enjoy the Unity tutorials more than other assignments but don't like writing blogs about them after.

For the second half of the semester, I would like to stay on top of my work. I want to follow my scheduling plan more closely. I've found it difficult to stick to my schedule because things keep popping up. It hasn't necessarily affected my work but sometimes I'm left doing a lot of blogs the weekend when I'd prefer to have them finished during the week. I would like to learn some ways to better my time management. The workload has increased a lot this year and I'm still trying to adapt to the change.

I think I should make a new schedule plan for the end of the semester. My current schedule plan for this module is now a little outdated because I never really follow it. I need to update my schedule because it will help ensure my assignments are finished by their deadlines.

Overall, I'm happy with my progress for this module. I have more points than I expected at the start of the year. Looking forward I'd like to implement a better schedule plan for myself because it's difficult to balance the work at times.

Introduction Into My (Awesome) Life

The names Conor, and in this blog I want to tell you a little about myself. I'm 20 years old and have lived in Dublin my entire life. I am currently a second-year student studying "Creative Digital Media" in Blanchardstown. I really enjoy my course and plan on getting a job in this industry when I get my degree. I'd describe myself as a determined and hardworking person who loves a good laugh. After working hard in year one it's safe to say I learned a lot. The best class I took last year was photography. I loved that this module required us to go outside to take photos because it offered a nice break from working inside all day. Although I liked most of my modules last year, I found modules that involved film or photography to be the most enjoyable. My goal for this year is to continue working hard and improve on my work. Speaking of working hard, we all need a break every now and again. Over the break, I took the opportunity to travel to several countries, i...

Unity Tutorial 05

This week's Unity tutorials showed me how to make a skybox, wind, fade screens, and how to improve the game environment. The first tutorial started by showing me how to add a sky to the game. I went onto the assets store and imported sky assets. To add the sky asset into the game, I then clicked on the "Windows" tab and chose the lighting settings option. From here I was able to drag and drop the different sky assets I downloaded. The next thing the tutorial showed me was how to add wind zones. I added wind to the in-game trees by clicking the "GameObject" tab. I then clicked on the 3D object tab and selected the wind zones option.  The second tutorial started by explaining how to add in-game objects that can be picked up of the ground. The example given in the tutorial was an axe stuck in a tree. First, you add in a cube and place it over the axe, then turn off the box collider so it becomes invisible. I then made a script called "AxeTake" a...

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 ...
