First playable (Kinda)

 

Hey guys,

So this weeks Prototype was a bit of a mess there was ups and downs to put it lightly. 

So This week I spent a bit more than 2 hours on it just because I was being stubborn. I really wanted to get the game to a playable stage but there were a few complications that kept men from making it 100 percent playable. So I began by finishing off the few bits of the maze's walls. That took maybe 20 -30 minutes so that was fine. So I moved on to controlling the player and this is took up the rest of my time I was trying get the player moving with code and I did get the player to move left and right he just glides basically so next week I hope to get it where the player will turn when pressing the right and left arrows. However when the player starts to move the player has no control on the forward movement so this will need to be fixed next week.  So thanks to these issues I didn't get to implement my puzzles yet. I also have the camera following the player in the first person. I have to admit while working this week I was stressed from outside of college situations which definitely effected my progress this week but next week is a new start and hopefully next weeks developments will be more and better.

    Hey John,

    I’ve read through some of your project blogs and well done on your game! I can see that you’ve put in a lot of work into your game. I also spend longer than needed to on my game due to my stubbornness sometimes. Sorry that you had a rough week this week, life can be tough sometimes and college work on top of that isn’t really helpful, but my advice for you is to focus on yourself first. If you feel like you might fall behind on work, just remember you can always catch up with extra credit.

    Anyways back to your game, I like how your game turned out so far. It looks very visually appealing. I like how you were able to make the environment look mysterious. In terms of sound effects and music, in your GDD you stated that you didn’t want any, but I think it would really enhance your game. However, this is your game in the end so I can’t make you haha, but its just a thought. Your game is still great either way, keep up the great work!!!

    Khang.

Game Idea Research

Image
The game idea I have chosen to continue through out the rest of the semester is my puzzle themed game. Going off the feedback that Shaun has given me and my own research I have done I believe this is the best course of action. Firstly it was my most thought out game idea and one I am most interested in making. This blog will be about researching this game idea further and think of how I can make this game possible in Unity. I used some YouTube videos to start my research those being  Breaking Down Video Game Mechanics ,  Top 10 Puzzle Games . I also found some Unity tutorials that could be use full when it comes time to actually creating this game I will link them here:  Creating a Puzzle Platformer in Unity | Prototype Series ,  Make First Level in Unity - GameDev from Beginner to Pro - 3D Puzzle Game .  My concept for anyone who hasn't read my previous post on this subject I will briefly explain what my game idea is. My game will be a puzzle game set in a labyrinth style prison,

Game Design

  What is a Game Anyway?  After completing a reading of  What is a game anyway? by Ian Schreiber, it is evident that several points where raised by the author of the paper. These points include the lack of a universal definition of what a game is, the weakness of definition and how simple making a game really is. The following blog will address these points in greater detail.  To begin with the author explains what his definition of what a game is, it being "a play activity with rules that involves conflict" direct quote What is a Game Anyway? by Ian Schreiber. He then goes on to states even though his definition was adopted by the IDGA Education SIG there are still many different definitions out there some of which disagree with his. He then brings up a point of how some games are the same concept but are executed slightly differently, they are different because of different rules and names. The example he used was that of Three to Fifteen compared to Tic-Tac-Toe. He also st

Game Vision Statement

For this blog I will be sharing my Game Vision Statement, I am extremely excited to create and see how this game will develop. What is Escape The Maze?  Escape the Maze is a game to challenge your mind! How will Escape the Maze be played?  Escape the Maze will be a game where the player will maneuver through a maze full of puzzles. by completing the correct puzzles they will let the players get closer to freedom. The player will be able to move forward,   left and right on completing a puzzle when choosing a puzzle they will be able to move forward , backward , left and right . You will be greeted by a sign explaining the rule, for example if you choose the wrong puzzle or fail a puzzle you timer to get out of the room will decrease. This is to challenge the player as they will have to learn from their failures on how to solve the puzzles. The timer will add a sense of making urgent decisions that depending on how many puzzles you have failed or completed either subtract or add to your
