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...

Final GDD

This week's blog finalizes my game design document. I further developed my document this week by adding a lot more detail and some code. I looked at different Youtube videos to find code that I will need to make my game. I plan to finish the game a week early so it leaves time to test for bugs and or any other changes. I want to develop the game environment first so I can focus on the coding side of things. I want to focus more on the coding because it's more important than the visuals for this assignment. It will also require more of my time because I find coding to be the most difficult part of game development. I can use some of the same code in Unity tutorials for my game, so I only needed to research code for my games HUD, main menu, countdown timer, and gem counter.  After finalizing my GDD document this week, I started prototyping a map for my game. I imported some of the assets from the Unity tutorials and changed the textures the look of the texture...
