Week 11 Progress

This week the group had a meeting on Wednesday. We showed the progress of the work to the team leaders and received some feedback. I finished off designing the home-screen background as planned. I have now moved onto designing loading screens for the game. I  looked online and read some articles about video game loading screens. During a loading screen, a video game will usually display a picture or graphic of the game without needing to worry about technical limitations required for the in-game graphics.

I noticed many loading screens include information or tips that help the player while loading. They also regularly include the games name or something from within the game like a character or weapon. I really liked the looked the look of these Fallout 4 and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim loading screens. Both of the games are developed by Bethesda so they have a similar look.
When designing the loading screens for the 19 Sixteen game, I would like them to include the name of the game and an object or character from within the game.

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 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...

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 ...
