Reading 3: Hitting roadblocks

Okay we talked about How I'm doing my research, now let's talk about the ACTUAL research God if you exist and want to prove it then kill me now.

So First off, the Tudublin library can go f--- itself, I'm sorry but when I try to use the website, it would tell me: "this IP is busy.", I tried on Monday through Thursday and I still can't get in ! How can the IP be busy at 1am in the morning ?!

So it was to Google/Google Scholars, which thank god, I had better luck. I found this: Understanding Digital Gaming By John Kirriemuir, I've had a read it and even started filling out the excel sheet. I also found this article as well: A Brief Social history of Game play by Dmitri Williams, which is has a section about the history of Games.

 Too be honest with you, I've been hard time looking for articles for PC Consoles, nevermind Home Consoles. I've been looking for over three hours and have been doing the excel sheet, it may look like I'm not working but I am ! I think once I get access to the TUdublin Library then I'll have better luck, I'm hoping that I won't have to go into TUDublin City center campus, though I know I a mate that goes there so I might get them to rent out the book and buy them a pint to say thanks . 

 So Researching hasn't gone well so far, guess I'll just have to push through!

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...
