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!

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 ...

Presentation Day Game Review Week 13

I really enjoyed the day overall. It was nice to see how everyone had progressed with the project over the break. Looking at other peoples was inspiring and thought me a thing or two. Some of my favorite projects I seen on the day where the farm puzzle game, the tile puzzle game and the interactive film.    The farm puzzle game looked very professional. In my opinion it looked like a full game for kids. The simplistic puzzles and bright  colours  are a great design choice.  The second game I really enjoyed playing was the tile puzzle game. This game was also a kid’s puzzle game. I was impressed by how Robert coded the game, it looked like it would have taken a long time to make. Although it’s a game for kids, I think he could have added more tiles to later levels to increase the difficulty. The games  colour  palette gives it a more calming feel.    The third project I really enjoyed viewing on the day was the ...

Feedback Thoughts

Feedback Thoughts The first blog I read by was about how too much praise can force a person to develop a fixed mindset. The article pushes the idea that people who are praised too much don't bother to develop new skills or better themselves because they are already "brilliant". This blog also focuses on how a fixed mindset can hold a person back in their workplace. Technological developments are constantly changing the workplace, which forces people to adapt and learn new skills. In the second article, I read the author gives us advice on how to crush self-doubt based on his own experiences as a teacher. He talks about seven different ways and goes into detail about each. I liked this article because the author talks about what he did to crush is own self-doubt. I thought both articles were useful in their own way. I found the first one focused more on the benefits of a growth mindset whereas the second focused on how to achieve a growth mindset. I thought the seven...
