 It's Fun

Screenshot of my Unity Project


I have done a lot this week getting closer and closer to achieve my first game. I didn't think I will enjoy this so much, I don't know is it the fact that I can create and then interact with the objects, or is it the fact that it is my first time making a game and I'm just finding it interesting at the moment but I'm having lot's of fun making the whole course.

To make it better for myself I have focussed a lot on coding for the first few weeks to get everything working first before I move on to the exciting things like making the obstacles. I am very pleased with how much of the code I have already done and it all seems to be working well. I have added in a restart button for the player to start the game over when he or she wishes to however, I have also added some coding for the ground that if the player falls and lands on the green flat area the game is automatically restarted. Therefore I think I might remove the self restart button as it is not really needed.

A big achievement that I had this week was that I have given the blue sphere an ice appearance and have created my own materials in illustrator to then apply to some objects in Unity. I have made a start line and some arrows to give directions. I think they have turned out successful and improved the aspect of the game. They didn't take me too long to make and it meant I have discovered and learned new features in Unity.

The game overall is coming out well but I will have to change some areas as I feel I may run out of time as the procedure to complete something I planned is long and new to me. I will try to add an effect to the sphere once it falls and hits the ground that will give the impression of the ice ball smashing or cracking rather than having to use Blender as an additional software. I would like to just use Unity itself for my first game before exploring other programs.

    Hey Wiktoria! I'm so impressed with how your game is looking at the moment! I love the idea and think it will be a really fun game to play once its finished. It's great to see that you're actually enjoying it too, it makes the process so much easier. I love how you went to illustrator to make the start line and the arrows that the player will see, really nice touch. Good luck with the rest but with what you have achieved so far it doesn't look like you even need it!

    Hey Wiktoria, good work so far I'm really impressed! Your game seems to have an interesting premise and I can tell you put a lot of work into it, I've never thought about using illustrator to add things into my game so good on you for that. You also ended up incorporating a lot into which applications you use which is also very different. I think what you have so far is very interesting so keep up the good work and don't forget to stick to your documents. All in all it seems to be a fun game where you have to figure out how to navigate your way up with your ball. Pretty cool.

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
