Unity Tutorial 05

                      Game making with unity 

Hello

Welcome to my blog

Today I’m going through more unity tutorials so I can learn the process of game making. I’m again looking at Jimmy Vegas videos.

The first video of him I watched was part 6 if unity tutorial series.  In this video Jimmy talks about adding more UI elements and to create a dynamic sensor. This requires a lot of work and is a long process using multiply UI sensors.

The second video I watched was part 7 of the tutorial. This video goes into making weapons using animation. This is something new because this is the first time, I used animation in unity. For this tutorial I used an axe for the weapon. I download the asset and then made the axe face the same way as my character did by turning the axe 90 degrees. Then using layering to make the axe doesn’t go through anything.

The last video I watched was part 8 of tutorial. This video talks about layering and going through all the layers to use to make the everything in the game works together and none of the objects in the game go through each other.

                              The process of designing 

Hello

Welcome to my blog

This week’s reading is about the components and process of game designing.  This will help me with designing my game.

The first reading was “Design Considerations”  by Greg Aleknevicus. http://www.thegamesjournal.com/articles/DesignConsiderations.shtml

This reading talks about the physical presentation of the game. This article talks about more about broad games and the way there put together. It first talks about the components of a game like making cards and spaces in broad game the same size or to use colour to distinguish game pieces. He also talks about how the box of the game is the most important part of the physical presentation of game. He talks about how the theme of the game should work with the rules of the game. This article talks more about the physical appearance of a game and important it is to a game. It also talks about how make a good physical presentation of the game.

The additional reading I found online is “What is game design” https://www.internationalstudent.com/study-game-design/what-is-game-design/

This article talks about what game design is. “Game design is a subset of the field of video game development”. The article goes into detail about the process of game designing. There is a huge team of developers working on a game.

1.       The game writers

2.       Level designer

3.       The content designer

4.       Programmer for the game

5.       The world designer

6.       The interface designer

This is the team that design a game. All these teams work together to design a game.

These reading gave me an insight on game designing and I’m able to learn from this. I was able to the process of game design and what the important elements are in game design from the aspect of the game and the team that designs a game.
