Prototype

Shooting Stars 

I have started creating my Unity game. So far I feel like I spent 5 hours on nothing. I started looking through more tutorials and seeing if anything like my game exists so I could get some help creating it but most of them are very advanced and I don't understand a thing. I looked at the Unity Assets store seeing if I could find something that I could use for my game but there is nothing that I had in mind. Instead of stars, I started creating 3D balls in unity and making them different colours. I found a Cannon in the store and downloaded it for free from: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/fantasy/battle-cannon-70589 .  I am very confused about how I am supposed to create something from nothing , the assets store has a few things like a galaxy that I could use and the cannon but I have no idea how to create a shooting game with all of the different elements that I talked about. 

I created some sort of a box and I was thinking to add the stars into it to make it look like a galaxy but I am not sure how to import the galaxy. I created colourful balls and following a tutorial by: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnEO3MRPr5Y I managed to make a green ball shoot from the cannon but in a straight line. I am very confused on how I am supposed to make all of the colourful balls shoot from one place and hit stars that are shooting by (have not figured that out yet). 

I am having difficulty with Unity and trying to find a simple tutorial to help my project is hard but hopefully I get to find one.

    Hi Milena

    This is a really good prototype and a really good game idea.I'm sure you'll find plenty of tutorials on how to create a shooting game so don't panic. Best of luck with finishing your game and I look forward to seeing how it looks once it is complete.

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:  Привет (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...
