First Playable

 First Playable


So last week I had some frustration ๐Ÿ˜‚ I was definitely frustrated with my game because I thought nothing worked and everything I did was pointless but I can say that I feel more confident this week :) . 


This week I created my first playable. The first playable is not a complete game but it has elements added that make the game look pretty. I added pretty stars/galaxy background, a cannon because I could not find anything else, colourful balls that I created by adding material an choosing colours instead of stars at the moment, and a cylinder that at the moment shoots out white balls (because I can't get anything else to shoot out).  I can say that I am becoming more proud of the work I am putting into this even though I do it for longer than the recommended time but that is because I want to learn. 

What's working 

At the moment the white cylinder is shooting out balls but they are not floating up or hitting the targets(balls). I looked at several tutorials to change that but most of them are in 2D which doesn't work for me. 


What's not working 

So far there are no shooting stars or a telescope with colourful balls inside of it that you could shoot out and hit the "shooting stars" (that are none existent at the moment too)

Screenshots were taken by me (my game)

    Hey Milena,
    I really love the aesthetics of your game. It looks so pretty and appealing to the eyes. I see that you didn't achieve most of the things you wanted because of the code but keep looking for tutorials, I am pretty sure you'll find one that will help you with your game or try to see one of unity tutorials that has similar script and see if it will work. I struggled somehow with the code too but then watched tutorials we did and figured it out. I like your game idea and excited to see how will it turn out and play it. Good luck with your game design.

    Hey Milena,

    Your game is coming along really well I have to say. Great to see that you have managed to get some parts to a working order, congrats. For the parts that maby arent working to your liking I wouldn't worry about it to much, you have plenty of time to get it working. I really like the "SkyBox" thingie you used to replicate a 3d space in space. From the game preview screenshot it looks really good. The shooting stars is also a nice touch. It will definitely make the end user feel much more immersed in the game that's for sure.

    Hi Milena,

    Omg obsessed with this game already, It is very unique and I love it! I was the exact same with you, I didn't want to stress myself too much for the first playable so I added pretty features so I could feel I did something good hahah. I am not entirely sure now if this would work but I wonder if you look at the likes of first person shooting games for the script to get your cylinder to float up and shoot at the targets? It would be similar to a gun shooting a bullet? It is so frustrating when you are searching for an answer and you can't find it anywhere :(

    I am super excited to see your next stage in the game and wish you the best of luck girl!
    Linda xx

A picture of me :)  Hi, I'm Milena, nice to meet you. I am 20 years old and I love food, joking, well not really because I do love food but there's more to me than love for food. I can speak three languages, English, Russian and Lithuanian. I came to Ireland when I was five years old and got thrown into junior infants a week later not knowing any English and you probably know how that went. I did a lot of crying for the few first weeks because I could not understand one word anyone was saying to me but then I learned.  This is how to say hello in Russian and Lithuanian.  -Russian:  ะŸั€ะธะฒะตั‚ (Pri-vet) Privet -Lithuanian: Labas (La-bas)

Game Vision Statement

Image
Projects: Vision Statement vision idea/design document     A vision idea/design document is created to present a plan that you have for your game. In this document, I will be expressing my idea of the game. I have decided that I am very interested in the game that would be called “Shooting stars”. I had game ideas like "shoot the starfish", shoot rings onto a big starfish, or shooting bubbles but I like the sound of shooting stars. The name "shooting stars" reminds me of the night, calmness, and overall peace. This game is all about relaxing your mind and destressing but also could be a challenge. The game genre is shooting.  The gameplay starts of with a beautiful dark night sky, some relaxing music playing in the background, and possibly some sound effects of shooting stars like some “SWOOSH” sounds or any other sounds that "shooting stars" could make. At the bottom of the screen, there is a shooter or a shooting station. The shooting station would have ...

Game Design

Game Design Public domain license Link to image Game design seems hard yet after reading a few articles you soon realised how easy it can be to design and create a game. In my mind to create a game you have to be a genius with all of the knowledge of coding but after reading a post by Angela He" From Zero to Game Designer: how to start building video games even if you don’t have any experience"  you realise that in order to create a game all you need to have is an  idea, information about what kind of game you want it to be and the purpose, characters, some experience playing games, and some passion.   After reading the class reading task I realise you can create a game by drawing a simple line on a paper and dividing it into sections forming a challenge for the character. The next step is to choose a character and the enemy for example I chose an apple as the main character and a girl as the enemy. The apple runs away from the girl because the girl loves apples and there...
