Unity Tutorial 03

Hello!!

In today's blog,  I will be sharing what I learned from Unity Tutorial 03. In this tutorial we got to add animals to our game, this was very exciting because I am basing my own game on dogs so it was really helpful to see my choice of dogs and how to add them to the prototype! I also learned how to stop the player and animals to not fall off the edge of the terrain and this will also help me in my future game. I also really need to learn how to somehow split the screen with the tutorial and my unity tab. That would be a lot easier than having to move the windows! I will be sure to learn how to do that for the next time!

I have to admit, I found some of the tutorials hard because sometimes I can't get them to work. My code could be slightly off and it would hold up the production of the whole prototype. I will get there eventually! I never really look forward to doing the unity tutorials because the time length of them seem so daunting but I really enjoyed these tutorials, mainly because they will be very useful to my game.

Game idea research

 Hello everyone!  I have finally decided on a game idea that I want to recreate! It wasn't particularly difficult for me to chose but I knew it would have to be a choice between two games! I wanted to choose between either flappy bird or Nintendogs! I chose... Nintendogs!!! I named my game "Puppy Paws". I chose Nintendogs because I was always interested in the game itself and I thought that it could be a potential challenge to recreate the game. I know, why do I want a challenge when I am already drowning in work that I have barely any time to do? I don't have the answer to that question just yet but let's hope the challenge is worth it! Nintendogs has a lot of elements to it that is impossible for me to create this semester. I plan to take out a lot of difficulty to the game and only focus on the basics but with a twist!   To start, the dog owner (the player)will own a puppy. They must name it and train it! Basic training will have already been complete (learning...

Games MDA

 Hello!  In today's blog post, I will be expressing my thoughts and sharing notes about MDA and partially DDE. I've read two articles and watched one video mostly about MDA and some DDE. I read  MDA: A Formal Approach to Game Design and Game Research  by Robin Hunicke, Marc LeBlanc, Robert Zubek and  Design, Dynamics, Experience (DDE)  by Wolfgang walk, Mark Barrett and Daniel Görlich. I also watched  Explaining the MDA Design Framework | Video Game Design  by a YouTube Chanel called 'The Last Bacon'. All three sources were amazing and described the MDA and DDE framework very well.  Today, I have learned that design methodology supports a designer by helping them determine the end result of their game. It will strengthen the iterative processes of developers, scholars and researchers. MDA stands for Mechanics, Dynamics and Aesthetics which are all game elements. The MDA framework is supposed to represent the lens or view of the game fro...

Game Design

 Hello!! I want to begin by saying wow... I have done it. I read an academic styled paper. I can just about spell the word academic... I have to be brutally honest, I found it extremely difficult to read the paper and it took me forever because I kept needing breaks, but I survived. For some reason, my brain can not take in any information when I am reading long pieces of writing so it takes me longer than the average person to read. It wasn't extremely bad because I got there in the end. Academic writing starts now... What is a game anyway?  Ian Schreiber There are many definitions of what a game is. By reading Ian Schreiber's paper 'what is a game anyway?' it is clear that there are many definitions of what a game is. In Schreiber's paper he talks about distinctions between different games, the importance of vocabulary and game definitions. To begin, Schreiber explains the contrast between game names. Many games are very similar, yet have entirely different names....
