Testing

This week I further tested my game for bugs and tried getting a main menu and score system to work correctly. After testing for a while I still could not find any bugs in the game. I'm still having trouble with getting a main menu and score system to work. I followed some more tutorials on Youtube but still can't get it to work correctly. After following tutorials on how to make a scoring system, I just managed to get errors at the end which stopped my game from working. The main menu does not appear difficult to make. I'm probably just not following along correctly. The terrain is now a little more polished looking. I moved some objects around and fixed up all the areas where trees and grass clipped through the hills. I think I'm going to change the tree assets because the player can still walk through them. I didn't have this problem when using the standard asset trees, or other tree assets that I tried from the asset store.

Overall I'm not happy with my progression this week because I failed to get the main menu and scoring system to work. Hopefully, I can sort it out by the end of the week. I happy that the game can still be played the way it is but unfortunately, it would be a lot more fun if it had a scoring system that worked.

    Hi Conor! Your game looks nice so far, I really like how green the grass is, as its not one of those sickly yellow-green color. Also, the main hill in the middle of the screenshot reminds me of a dungeon in an old game I used to play. A raised up platform was used for a final boss there.
    I'm sorry to hear about your problems with the tutorials, they almost look easy when you watch them, but once you start following them, you realize that not a single part of them is easy... Which is sad really, since it stops us from progressing further. Hopefully you can get it done sometime soon.
    And when it comes to the trees, a good few people seem to have a problem with that as a lot of tree assets are missing the collider boxes...
    Good luck!

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...

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 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...
