Week 9 Reading and Writing.

This week reading is, not an reading but instead a reflection on the readings in general. A look back on the work and how much I've done, let's discuss. Overall, I think I did the best I could for the reading but improved along the way. I felt that my impersonal writing became stronger from doing the readings, though I admit not being to use "Me" or "I" was difficult.

I feel the readings did help me, as learned more about game design through the reading, I never realized how much theoretical thought went into games, I knew planning and development did, but I never thought about the theoretical side of games. I feel the reading help with my game, as I'm trying to follow the MDA system and keep the idea of different "fun"s in mind.

The readings also help increase my research and reading strategies. I did politics and Society for the leaving cert, but that was 1 (2? I can't remember) year ago, so I haven't been keeping up those skills. Now Not only do I feel I've retrain those skill but I'm actually improved !

Last time I talked about my game project, I was disappointed with my game project and my first playable. However I should make it clear, overall I'm happy with my project! I mean it's not gonna win game of the year but you able to walk around, I'm planning where to put items, I'm hoping to get the axe working tonight, before moving onto UI or enemies (probably UI to be honest). I know my project is going great but it's also not crashing anytime I tried to open it, so I can still improve it, work on it and get it to where I need to get it.

Overall I'm not sad or depressed over my project. I just need to work harder on it.

An Image from Week 5 blog, taken from here.
I picked this image as my favourite image from the readings, because I like how I added X-Com (2012) into the reading, I needed an image then it hit me when I was reading the readings. I felt this image tied into the reading and I don't know, I think I was proud of it, even though it's mine. I also played X-com and I can tell you that heavy is gonna miss badly. Heavies have the worst aim and will miss 99% shot, trust me it happened to me, bastard.

Now it's time to look forward, I want to improve my reading skills, while I'm not a slow reader I believe I can improve my reading skill, as it would help with writing and meant I would take an hour to read. I also need to improve my spelling skill, I would love to be able to spell words like especially, without needing to click on the red line under the word or having to ask google how to spell it. Finally I would like to improve my writing speed, I feel I write slower then most people and I want to improve my speed.

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...

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...

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...
