Game Idea Research

Last week I talk about Games the ideas I like to do, after a bit more thinking, I think I know what idea I'm gonna do and I'm gonna talk about it in this blog. I think the game I would like to recreate is Terraria or at least the boss aspect about it.

I started researching into how would I go about it, Luckily our good old friend Jimmy Vegas has videos about how to create an rpg and more importantly how to create Boss AI. Jimmy Vegas' Video here. This might be able to help me and since this part of a series, the whole series might be able to help !

I also looked into an inventory system for my games, I found a blog about how to add an inventory system, which you can read Here. This will work well with my game, as it helps the player collect and keep items, so they can use them later.

My last mechanic is to a combat system, I look up a tutorials but the weren't many for 3d, I did found this One. Maybe Jimmy Vegas will have a tutorial on it, I'll need to look into it.

So What exactly is my game idea ? Well I was thinking of having a Final Boss that the players need to defeat but is too weak and said boss is all the way on the other side of the map. Maybe by having the map as a maze where the player must find and defeat the final boss.

Example Of  a level, not fully developed, taken and created by Me.

  1. Hey Sarah,
    I enjoyed reading your blog I like your idea about there being a boss that you have to defeat I also like that you have done research and sketches of what you are thinking of doing in your game I really like the maze part of the game and the fact that you have to go through a maze to find the boss and to defeat them maybe you could add some more obstacles in the maze that the player has to go through to defeat the boss just to make the game more interesting and harder also I would love to know how many levels would be in the game do they have to defeat this boss a few times overall everything you have done so far is really good and is well laid out anyway I will leave it there hope to read more about your game in your other blogs.

Unity tutorial 06: Thanks Google and Unity!

FINALLY I'm done this unity tutorial ! Oh my god you have know idea how long this took me. First Chrome decided not to work, like at all, I don't know since it wasn't my wi-fi or laptop since Firefox work fine for me, so why ? No idea. Cheers Google ! Screenshot taken by me. Oh and the Unity video froze again , then it crashed. I feel you buddy, screenshot taken by me. So how did the tutorial go ? Pretty good actually, once unity stopped messing me around, I actually didn't have a bad time. I guess my only problem is this error which I can't figure for the life of me what it's on about: Null Reference ? What you on about Unity ? Screenshot taken by me. Seriously Unity telling me Null Reference is like telling me my Dad wants me, I've no clue what you're talking about. Anywho apart from this error, I feel like this was the most useful tutorial so far, the others were great for getting back into things while learning a few new tricks but...

My non swinging Axe, taken by me    Capitulate that goes ding ! Taken by me  An enemy, taken by me

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...
