Thoughts on the Assignment

I recently got an assignment and I have a few thoughts on it. The bit of the assignment that I'm most excited about is the unity-3D tutorial, I have unity on my laptop and was learning about gaming making before but it was 2D. Also the unity I had is now out-of-date and won't open for me.

I know whatever my first 3D game is, it's going to be horrible and buggy but that's okay. None of 2D game even work so having this one actually work is a improvement in my eyes.


I'm not sure how I feel about the reading, I've written academic essay before about readings but I don't like writing them, I find them very boring to write but I think most people do and since we have to them maybe it won't be so bad ?

I don't know how to feel about the blog commenting, on one hand it's a good idea we get to see other people's work and how all of us can improved. On the other hand however, it doesn't sound very interesting and I don't know how people are going handle the criticism.

I excited for the project, I know we have a lot of project work this year but that's fine, I'll figure out a way and hope for the best. Feedback is going to be fun since people will probably have to figure out what to say about each other game that's not "it's shit.". It's also nice that we'll be given strategies to help us improve.

Game Developer meme, Found it on Pinterest

I like the idea of extra credits, the Wikipedia trails sounds really fun as usually end up doing that anytime I'm on Wikipedia and learn about how something works like acute radiation sickness. The rest I don't really know how I feel about them, I like growth mindset but that's it really.

Unity tutortial 07

Another week, another unity tutorial this time I'm not following along with Jimmy Vegas' tutorial series and instead following another series of tutorial to learn how to put an inventory in my game ! In particular, this video  Unity Inventory UI Tutorial  which is a 3d inventory ! Thank god, every fucking tutorial I looked for inventory were for 2d games, not 3d. I did find a blog as well but when I did try to follow along, it didn't go so well so I decide to ditch that and found a 5 minute video. Working on my inventory, yes I'm using my JV tutorial world and turned off fade in, Screen shot taken by me. Now it's confession time and I thought I would say this : I miss Jimmy Vegas. Yeah his tutorial weren't great but some of these tutorial go really fast and you just have no idea what is going on. That's why for my next tutorial I did Jimmy Vegas RPG tutorial #024 Boss Ai  ! Unfortunately Jimmy's Video is part of a series and I don't really w...

First Playable

Project update time! So this week I've been working hard on the axe side of things, I wanted allow the player to be able to pick up the axe and swing it. However I learnt something that I hope wasn't true but sadly is, You can't reused scripts!! I tried to reused the Axe Swing script from jimmy Vegas and it work, but when I recreated it, it did work ! Unity you picky bastard you. Oh yeah I also made a building too, screen shot taken by Me. I also work on taking the axe out of the wall but had to focus on the ray-casting which was a pain in the ass because I completely forgot about it and had to go back to work on it. Honestly I've spent more then 3 hours working on this and while I'm proud of what I've done so far, I also sad because I really wanted to get to the first playable stage of the game but haven't be able to, Hell I still haven't gotten to the player able to take the damn axe out of the damn wall yet. This screen shot of my game does...

Unity Free Tutorials

Hello and welcome to my blog ! With My Non-swinging Axe.  This week I'm looking at unity tutorials for my game, that totally weren't sent by my mate Oisin, cheers Oisin !  To see if they can help my game. The first one is "PATROL AI WITH UNITY AND C#"   Jesus, someone needs to calm down with the CapLk.  A handy video that teaches a little bit of different coding but with little explanation of what the code does but personally I recommend muting the video and just because his voice is annoying, I'm half deaf and his voice was giving a headache ! So after doing the tutorial I came across a problem, the script doesn't seem to be working, there's supposed to be a speed box but as you can see there is none, even after I tried to listen to the video I couldn't get it to work. For some reason, the script not coming up right, screen shot taken by me. Moving onto the next tutorial, "How to make Doors in Unity"   yes I'm serious.  This tut...
