Unity Tutorial 06

 


I have completed the next batch of tutorials. I have to admit, it wasn't as frustrating at the last ones. I had complained that I didn't think I had coded the ability to throw projectiles, but it turns out I did, I just forgot which button it was assigned to. 
In these tutorials, we created the UI, which is very important in games. When I was trying to get it to work, I had some problems moving the Pivot with my mouse, as it would just move the images themselves, so I had to type in its position, which I had to trial and error to get right, but I got it working in the end.

We also created as NPC, though this NPC is as simple as they get, you interact with them with a button and they say some dialogue, but, it was interesting to create them and I wonder if they are going to get more complicated.

One thing I did notice however with the robot, is that its animations for walking aren't working and I don't know how to fix it. I also notice that its hitbox for the gears are not big enough or I've given it way too much health, but I will look into those problems later.

The next tutorial is going to be adding sounds and I'm interested if they are going to go with old school sounds from Windows XP style games.

Anyway, this batch of tutorials overall were far less frustrating than the last ones, so I hope the audio tutorials won't be so frustrating. Once the game is all built up, maybe I'll look into expanding the environment. I'll see you later.


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 f...

Unity Tutorial 02

Image
  I have completed the second Unity tutorial and I think I am getting the hang of it, although, I still worry about forgetting the code as I do have a lot going on in terms of work. My overall experience has been a lot better than it was when I first tried Unity. I got to give the player actual control in this tutorial which I think is a big achievement. One thing I've noticed is that it is taking much shorter to do these tutorials than expected, my first one, I forget to say, but it is estimated that it would take 200 minutes, while for me I feel like I did it in 45 to 60 minutes. This tutorial was estimated to take 50 minutes, I did it in just over 30 minutes. Although I did notice this time around I went back a couple times to make sure I was doing it right. There are some tasks I wasn't really interested in doing, such as putting comments in my code. Maybe that's just me, but I can usually work out what's going on just by looking at it without comments. But for the ...
