Unity Tutorial 06 - Ruby's Adventure

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! Today I finished up the 6th tutorial for Ruby's adventure which took me a while to finish since I kept getting errors but I managed to fix it after a few days of pain.


Visual Styling - User Interface - Head-Up Display 

For this tutorial we edited the UI so that the health-bar would appear in the top left corner of the screen. It was a little bit tricky when it came to resizing and positioning the images so that they wouldn't squish or anything but I managed to get there in the end. I also had to add Ruby's portrait in in addition to the health bar mask. I scripted the health bar so every time Ruby took damage by the robot, the health-bar would go down. I had an issue where I named the script "UL" instead of "UI" and i didn't realise it so the script wouldn't work at all but I found the issue and solved it. 

World Interactions - Dialog Raycast

In this tutorial we put an animated frog into the scene and I gave him a dialog, so whenever I press "X", the dialog appears and the frog asks Ruby to help fix the robot. This was also done with the UI Canvas. 

The health bar goes down when Ruby touches the Robot!

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.
