My first Unity Tutorial 01

Learning how to use Unity

I have completed my first Unity tutorials and I must admit it was a fun and very educational experience. The videos are great help and easy to follow. I like how they are straight to the point and everything is explained. I found the recap at the end of each videos very useful as it went over quickly of what we just did and have learned. The steps at the bottom helped me out if I wasn't sure of something or got stuck on a certain part. In my opinion it's the best online video tutorial that I have ever came across. It made it all a lot more do-able and I learned many features.

I have done so much in just a few little videos that it is shocking. I really enjoyed using Unity, think it is very handy and easy to follow. It allows you to edit the whole layout to your own preference and to give you better experience. The first few lessons were very basic steps which really helped me to get comfortable with the Unity functions and operations.  

I had no big problems with following the tutorials and using the Unity. Any little bits that left me unsure or if I missed a step, I simply went back a step or two and then was back on track. The short videos made it easier to follow and move on to the next step. It also gave me extra motivation to continue on.

In just a few short videos, I have learned how to move objects, change scale, make an object move, add code and many more. All of the above were very interesting to learned and doesn't look too difficult to do it yourself. I think the code is the biggest challenge here that we will have to do. It wasn't my favourite part of the tutorials and it will take some practice to get comfortable with it. Despite that I am looking forward to learning more about Unity and soon be able to create a game myself.

Introduction to a Future Designer

 Introduction Hi pink figure Hi pink figure Hi so it has been a while since I first started the  Creative Digital Media course in College. This course has taught me so much and there is so much more to learn. It is a very creative and fun course. Year 1 was interesting and became very challenging when Covid entered. There was a lot of late night works and was filled with assignments but I did it and now I am in second year.  I'm looking forward to this module because I like games and always was interesting in some game designs but never decided to take on this task on my own with any help. I feel that this module will answer my question about game design and career in multimedia.   There were some really good tasks that I enjoyed and did very well in like photography which changes your point of view on everyday objects and for me it woke up my eye for photography. Image manipulation was a very fun and entertaining task as it allowed you to create something out of this world and it

Game Design

 Reading about Games Type of a game Image source After doing the reading, I realised that there is a lot more to games than just a good idea, plan and software tools. I think that the question in the first reading "what is a game" is an extremely hard question to answer because it can mean something different for everyone. The truth is that most things in our life that we interact with a lot will have a different meaning to an individual. For someone a game might be nothing more than just a little fun way to complete a level or task and move on to the next one. Gamers see it as being part of their life, their break from reality, a brain exercise etc. There are some people that don't find a big interest in games and will have an even more different opinion on "what is a game?" I myself like gaming, I do it often if I have the time however thankfully I never get obsessed which means I can play whenever I have time and still be have my chores done. In my case I wou

Game Vision Statement

My Game Vision A quick sketch of my game idea After some brainstorming and researching, I have decided on my game idea and now can start to look into it more in depth. Although my idea is based on the games below and it will have the same controls and very alike gameplay, it won't be the same game as "Coin Rush" for example because I will be making my own version of the game. My main goal is to make the game more fun and interactive for the players, I want to add some adrenaline and rush to my own version of the game to make it more entertaining but not frustrating.  In my version the player will be a ball of ice and will have to complete the laid out course on a platform before the ball melts in order to complete the game. The player will have to balance the ball and hit certain objects to get through to the finish line, however the game will be over once the player drops the ball, hits an object that will make it crash or if the ball melts before reaching the finish lin
