Unity Tutorial 9

So this week we didn't have to follow the Unity Tutorials provided for us on the CDM website. Instead we got to choose our own tutorials that would help in the development of our game which was really helpful. 

The first one that I did was one I actually completed last week but I have decided to include it here too. The link to the video can be found here. In this video it showed how to create Coins that can be picked up by the player. It was really well done with simple instructions which made my life so much easier. In it, I was shown how to create the coins, scale them, customise them to whatever colour I wanted to and to also have the coins continuously rotate which I thought was a great addition as it reminded me of games like Super Mario Bros.

The next tutorial that I followed showed how to create a timer. That tutorial can be found here. Like the previous tutorial it was really easy to follow, quick and straight to the point! It also showed how to make the timer stop once a player reaches a certain point which will come in useful for my game. 

For my project this week I will continue with more tutorials and I hope to finish my game in the next week!

    Hi Sean! Hope you're keeping well, I also did a tutorial for my own game, I found it much handier than doing another tutorial! I know I've said it to you before, but I love the aesthetics of your game, so fab! Also, you seemed to have gotten on better than me with the tutorials, typical mine went wrong! Anyways, best of luck with the rest of your game :) -Megan

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!

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...
