Beta

So this week I spent well over 3 hours on my game but maybe spent about 3 hours actually getting things to work I spread my time on the game this week over several days because of other classes but I don't actually think it really helped my stress levels because my other assignments are still stressful. 

Anyway back to the game I started this week off by trying to accomplish 4 main things this week those being: 

  • Need to make a puzzle 
  • Make it so that when the puzzle is completed the door opens. 
  • Camera follows the player in a first person view. 
  • And stop the player being able to walk through anything that's not a door. 
I found out how to make a puzzle from a YouTube tutorial I will link Here. It thought me how to split up a image into different sections of the image like a jigsaw. I tried to follow along and make  the code work however it was not compatible and I couldn't find anymore that seemed to help with this. If I cant find one before I make a video for submission I will add a button to open the door.  

I tried to make the camera follow the the players movements in a first person view so I created a CameraMovement script using these videos first video second video. The second one was way more helpful but it still didn't work but I couldn't figure out what the issue that I was having so I said I would leave it and have it going in the back of my mind and then get back to it tomorrow. 

I feel since I went well over the 3 hours for this assignment I decided to Leave that till another day. 

Sorry for the long blog but as you can see I had a lot of issues this week so yeah.

    Hi John! I can definitely relate to the stress you're having around assignments! It's good to see that you set goals for yourself for the week in terms of game progress. Your game looks really cool and the idea of a puzzle game sounds really interesting! I hope you figure out how to make that puzzle and get the camera working. You seem to be making good progress so far despite having some issues but I think everyone can relate to that. Well done and good luck with finishing up!

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
