Unity Tutorial 06

 Unity 

Tutorials we had to complete
Lesson 3.3 Don’t Just Stand There (60 mins)
Lesson 3.4 Particles and Sound Effects (60 mins)
Challenge 3 & Quiz Balloons & Booleans (60 mins)

I find Unity very difficult to understand and I think that is because I am not a gamer and I do not play games so to me all of this terminology is very confusing. Each week I feel like I am stuck in the same spot with no understanding of what most of the elements mean and how to use them. 

For the "Challenges" I use Youtube to follow along. I would have not understood any of the challenges just by doing them all by myself with no extra help. I try doing it with no help but it simply doesn't work even with the help that is given in the steps.

There are many new skills that I learned from this week's tutorials like setting triggers and animation controllers but I find them very hard to understand. It was fun adding sound effects and smoke effects. I have trouble understanding all of the codings behind every element and where to add them. I enjoyed following instructions and the step by step and also adding sound effects to make the game more interesting. Seeing everything come together like sounds and effects is cool and makes me excited to do the same for my game in the future.  


The balloon challenge was not easy to complete but I used a Youtube tutorial which made it easier to understand. Figuring out the different controls, changing the values, objects that are not being assigned properly, positioning the elements correctly, adding the standard issues, and then flipping the balloon to make it go lower and adding other elements that are missing. 

At the moment I am searching for tutorials that would help me get my game started and understand Unity better.

Introduction to a future business owner

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...
