Unity Tutorial 01

 So I just finished Lesson 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 of the Unity Lab Tutorials and they weren't nearly as bad as I first thought they would be! They were done step by step both on video and underneath the video where it explained what had to be done. 

I found it quite daunting at the start using a new software I'd never even heard of (in previous posts I've said I am not a gamer) and I wasn't sure how I would get on with it but it actually wasn't so bad in the end. The one thing that threw me off was the length of each tutorial but with the help of this tip I was given it didn't take too long at all. ------>

I was surprised at how much I actually enjoyed getting to know how to use Unity. I thought it was pretty straightforward and it makes me excited knowing that the end goal of these tutorials is that I will eventually be making my own game. During one of the videos I messed up completely and lost my scene for about half an hour which made me really panic but I got it back in the end and didn't have to start from scratch.  Another issue that I had was that for a couple of days the videos kept buffering making it impossible to work on them.

One thing that I'm kind of nervous about is the coding, I found that part of the tutorials quite difficult which is understandable as it's my first time ever dealing with it so hopefully I gain more knowledge over the upcoming semester.

A Brief Introduction To a Life in Isolation

For anybody in the CDM course who doesn't know me yet my name is Seán Clarke and I'm 24 (until Sunday). I'm from Dublin and live in Swords which is about a 20 minute drive by car from the Blanchardstown Campus or what feels like an 8 hour bus journey in the mornings. I'm not going to talk too much about my upbringing or anything but more about what life in lockdown has been like for me. Enjoy and I hope I don't bore anybody too much! So the first time I heard about Coronavirus I didn't think anything of it really and I think majority of people felt the same. I thought it was going to be like the bird flu and that it was being blown out of proportion. The first time I think it felt real for me was when Daniel McSweeney came in to our lecture and gave us an update on how it was going to affect our college life. It was quite daunting at first and it made me nervous for both the rest of the semester and life in general.  The last sense of normality I was trying to t

 This week I started developing my Game Design Document. I created it using the website Dundoc which had me very confused at the start but once I got the hang of it I was fine! The link to my document can be found  here . I'm happy with what I have included so far and I I will update continuously over the next few weeks and my game develops!  Image Information: A screenshot of the introduction to my Game Design Document

So this week we had to start creating our game. It's been a busy week so the first thing that I done was set a timer on my phone for 3 hours and sat down to get the work done. What I achieved this week: -Creating Project -Organising Assets needed -Creating River for scene -Creating Jungle for scene -Bringing the Player (boat) into scene -Creating FollowPlayer and PlayerController Scripts Creating Project The first thing that I did is the easiest part of the whole project - creating the project file in Unity. I went to Unity Hub and created a new 3D project which opened up my new scene.  Organising Assets Needed The next thing that I did was looked back on my Game Idea research where I had posted some different links to assets, I gathered the ones I needed and used them along with a few new tutorials to complete the headings below.  Creating River for Scene When making the river I created a new Game Object on Unity and under the 3D option I chose "Plane". I then went to Go
