Unity Tutorial 03 - Ruby's Adventure

Hi everyone! This is the third week of the 2d Unity tutorials and i'm finding it very easy so far. I was a bit scared at first when I realised I had to read the set of instructions myself but now I prefer it over watching videos! In this set of tutorials it mainly focuses on collectibles and damage zones as well as enemies. 

 World Interactions - Collectibles

Coding was the main thing about these tutorials because it required for collectibles to be set to triggers. As soon as the character goes over to the strawberry collectible, it disappears and a message pops up at the bottom left corner making it clear that Ruby received a life. After Ruby has collected the life and the bar is full, when Ruby goes over to the strawberry again it doesn't get picked up.

World Interactions - Damage Zones and Enemies

In this tutorial, we made a damageable as well as an enemy that moves in one direction. They both harm Ruby which results in health loss. There's nothing much to say other than it required more coding like the first one. Ruby and the enemy don't have any animations so right now they're gliding across the map. 


What my map looks like so far, It's really not that interesting.

An Introduction to Frodo (and me)

 Hi! My name is Anna Zurawska and I am a second year Creative Digital Media student.  My first ever year of college was a once in a lifetime experience and I'm so happy that I chose this course, it opened my eyes and it made me use parts of my brain that I didn't know were possible to reach. I never thought I would be able to find softwares such as Photoshop and Illustrator straightforward. I'm so happy how my assignments and projects turned out and I can't wait for what second year has to offer. I don't really want to talk about the pandemic because I know a lot of people are sick of hearing about it so I'm just going to show everyone my cat that I got over the break 😁😁. Frodo sleeping anywhere and evrywhere The first picture is a recent one I took, look how big he is compared to the second one !!

The components of Game Design

What is a Game, Anyway? The following consists of key excerpts taken from an article by Ian Schreiber. It aims to discuss one's definition of a what a game is.  Schreiber (2009) discusses that many games have similar contrasting ideas. For instance, dots and boxes present the user with a simplistic objective of whoever attains the most boxes wins the game. The same mechanics apply to Tic-tac-toe. Therefore, it is important to clarify the differences between games. A substantial amount of individuals have clashing definitions in terms of what a game is, but all have equal elements. The components of an enticing experience can incorporate conflict, a set of rules, a problem solving task as well as an out of body experience yet all require interaction. A game does not essentially call for technology for the experience to be stimulating, there can be colossal subsets to a game. A game may be as straightforward as "tossing a ball around", as Schreiber (2009) states "play

Game Design Document

Image
 I created my first ever Game Design Document, I felt like the reading task this week helped me a lot on my journey. Dundoc has some extremely useful game design document templates that are nicely organised into different titles such as technical, sounds, game introduction etc. I looked at other students game design documents whenever I was stuck on specific things and I found it 100 times easier. The template looks daunting at first but I promise it's not as bad as it looks! Here is the link to my Game Design Document Here is a picture of my game design document (might have the chance the name to my game title) I will make several changes throughout the semester so I can fill out as much information as possible. Right now I haven't made the game so when my vision comes alive I will include screenshots and information architecture.
