Unity tutorial 09

 So for this week I decided to use this as a chance to work on some elements of my game so I followed a tutorial on how to get my doors to swing open. 

The tutorial I choose to follow was one on YouTube. It's called Unity Hinge Joints   it was posted by Michael Dixon. I decided to follow a long with it as best as I could and as I did I had many issues. 

Starting off the video was very easy to follow everything is done in  unity no code needed great. I then realized that my character could just walk straight through so I had to fix that and so I added box colliders but they weren't working right so I took to the internet to try and figure out where I found a video Unity Open World #13 - Character Rigidbody which I followed along to get my character to stop going through walls. So I went back to the first video and followed the steps but nothing was working. 

I then realized there was already animations for this asset which allow the door to open at this point I felt so stupid and realized that I had learned how to make a door open but I was essentially doing everything write with the wrong tools. However I am glad I have done this as I will know how to add a hinge joint  going forward.

    Hi Johnnnnnnn~
    Its meeeh~ Flosie 😂🤦‍♀️
    How are youuuu and how's your game going? I really love the ambience of your game! It looks mysterious and it really attracts attention. I was also having a similar realisation when was coding my game while also watching a YouTube tutorial because I decided to look up on tutorial on how to code the coins on my map. I found out that I cou,d just create my own coins in unity and I just spend some time looking for a good assets for it which was annoying. It is also a bit hard to find an easy and clear tutorials for unity online for our games especially if we are looking for a specific code.

    Anyway, I can see that your game is looking really cool~ I hope i will be able to play it when its done! Good luck making your game and try not to stress too much even though its hard not to but you can do it! FIGHTINGGGG!!

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
