Unity Tutorial 01



So from the title of this post, you know that I have finally started the Unity tutorials. I got filled with the determination I needed to get through this after hearing encouraging words from people.


I dusted off my old Unity account and installed it to my computer. Following the tutorials I found them very time consuming for some simple tasks. Also because I am kind of familiar with the Unity interface already I wasn't a fan of listening to the explanation about it and I just wanted to jump right in. But I hope future tutorials pick up the pace. They are videos after all, people can just pause and rewind if they get lost.

When I did use Unity all those years ago I tried to make a 2D game, but these tutorials were for a 3D game. Though they are different, I got the hang of it very quickly. One thing that struck me was actually writing code. Back when I did use Unity I have no memory about actually writing code, so this is already going better than my last experience.

After completing the first 3 tutorials, I have hope that I could actually do this. My only worry is that this, like any skill to be honest, will be hard to remember if I'm not doing it regularly. I know that we are working on creating a game for this module, but I have a big problem of wanting to create something that is way over my skill set. Hopefully by the end of this I will have a more simple idea.

Anyway that's it for now, I hope it's encouraging to now that I finally got around to doing this, even though I am behind, I am a super fast worker when I get into the right mindset and workflow. I'll see you next time


Bye

Introduction

 Hi, I'm Chris. I'm 20 years old and this is an introduction about me, as almost nobody knows anything about me. I'm very reserved, so here I plan on talking a bit about myself. One of the big things about me is Video games. I previously wrote about a few of my favorite video games. My first console I remember playing was the PlayStation 2 and two of my favorite games on it were The Simpsons: Hit and Run and The Polar Express Video Game. Gaming is such a big part of my life that my current favorite game, Minecraft, gave me my Internet last name from a joke that in Minecraft I attract creepers like a magnet. I am not good with horror games, but I'm trying to get better at it. I do like tycoon style games. One I've tried that I'd like to start playing again was called Prison Architect. I'm pretty flexible with Video Game genres except for a few. For example I do not like endless runner style games. I would rather a goal to race towards rather than try to run f

Game Design

 What is a game?  Not an easy question to answer.  Games come in all different shapes, sizes, genres, etc. Games, from what I know are a means of entertainment. They are for everyone of all ages. There are some games that are targeted towards a certain group of people more than others, but in reality anyone can play any game they want to. Even though some people try to act like they can't. Making a game is not an easy task, especially video games, and it usually requires a team of people. A lot of people who try to make video games give up when they realise how much more work needs to be put into it than they thought. I know how difficult making a video game is so I'm not even going to try. I remember I tried to make a game, but I was put in a situation where no-one was showing me what to do, I didn't get the help I needed and it has ruined the chance of me trying to make a game ever again. I am okay looking through game files to look at different things such as texture fil

Reading 07

I have read the chapters of two of my peers wrote. I did find the chapters very interesting and learnt a few things in the process. I did think the two chapters, Gaming psychology and the history of games were interesting. In the history of gaming chapter, I wasn't aware that there was a difference between formal and informal play. I thought every game, even the simplest had at least one rule. In the gaming psychology chapter, I was aware of many of the points made in it. And I do know just how bad gaming addiction can be. While I am a gamer, I'm lucky enough that I'm not as bad as some other people and I actually cannot stay on my computer or an electronic device for too long. One thing that I do need to do with my chapter is add the references and bibliography. Overall I think my peers wrote good chapters that brought up interesting and important points. I did learn some new things reading them and now I've gotten curious on reading other chapters. Anyway, I'm gla
