Prototype

 

When I first started making my game I wanted to first create the environment so I attached some trees, texture for the ground and added a few rocks that would help my character hide from the enemies. My game is based off the Lord of the Rings movies, my character is an elf played in first person who has to hide from the orc soldiers and find the power ring at the end of the map; if he is spotted he must engage in combat.

The world and the the textures are coming out really well, I added terrain to my ground to give it a more natural look similar to a forest out of the movies, this I completed in a matter of at least an hour as I had to positioned them right. What I am finding difficult at the moment though is adding my First Person Controller to my character and when I added my PlayerController script to him the camera would not work so I am currently working on fixing that.

I have met all my targets especially gathering all the necessary materials for my game, as I said my world is completely done. I move onto the most important part and that is making my player and the NPC's move around the map.

    Hey Aaron, Just after reading your blog here and your idea here is so different well I'm sorry to say that I don't know much about Lord of the Rings but its cool to see that your character is not entirely human like most peoples. Good to see you are already working and fixing certain thing in your prototype it sound detailed. Have fun do more in your prototype hopefully it's not too much hassle.

    Hey Aaron, me again! I love the idea of your game, I've never seen Lord of the Rings but I understand what you meant! I love the environment, it looks so real? I had to double look thought it was just a picture you took lol. It looks like you've put in a lot of thought and effort into it! Best of luck with the game and maybe I'll even get to play it in the future! :) -Megan

    Hey Aaron, great blog post! I really like your game idea or hiding from enemies while trying to find the ring. Your game world looks really good and I'm looking forward to seeing it more developed with enemies trying to find the player. Will the player have powers that they can use against the enemies like a firebolt or invisibility? Best of luck in getting your first person camera to work and I look forward to seeing more!

    Hi Aaron, your game looks really well and its cool that your game is based of Lord of the Rings, I was just wondering are the trees and the surroundings you’ve got from the one asset pack or all from separate ones? Also, I see you said that if the player is seen they will have to engage in combat, what happens if the player dies? Will the game start again or is there checkpoints? Anyways, your game is looking great I would love to see the finished project (I’m also a Lord of the Rings fan). Anyways good luck with completing this!

    Hi Aaron,
    This is a very good start, I also attempted to create and I actually enjoyed as I built a great environment for my player but unfortunately I not was able to use what I had done as an environment was not the only thing I was trying to achieve but it fun adding textures, trees and stuff. anyway I was wondering if you can add things that the player can collect on his way to the end of the map so the game is not all about hiding. Looking forward to see your final product, your game sounds promising.

Prototype: First Playable

  Source: Myself For my project this week, I worked on getting my character moving around the terrain and testing that out with the "on ground" feature that was discussed in our Unity tutorial 3 and put into our C# script . We had the player, jump and move that is what I wanted to mainly focus on and this was a difficult task and I had to go over the tutorials again just to be sure but I got it working in the end!  My character's view will be first person in my game so I had to add a FPS controller to the player , I had to get one from the assets store off Unity, adding the main camera to the player was and angling it so it was attached above the character's body was quite easy; getting the camera to move with the player was ever more difficult. These videos provided me with great help into attaching my FPS controller and camera to my character! Attach the camera Adding the FPS controller

Introduction

My name is Aaron Mulholland, I am 19 years old and I'm in my second year of college in TU Dublin doing Creative Digital Media. The module in which I'm doing this blog is for Multimedia Development 1 and I hope to pass this.... hopefully XD.  Before heading into TU Dublin I first went to a PLC in Dunboyne and did the exact same course I'm doing now; after completing my year there I decided I wanted to take a career in the art of designing on computers as I heard many positives about this chosen career especially in the money ! Technological University Dublin (TUD) logo   The hardest part of my first year occurred during the Lockdown during the early stages of Covid-19 when I was in my second semester. It was a tough time for work and trying to work at home and online with limited resources such as cameras, adobe software and the Mac's that the college provided which was where I did most of my work for the modules and to move from that to my Windows laptop was very diffi...

Game Design

Firstly, What is a game? A game is designed to create entertainment, relaxation and in a way let the player or players enjoy a place where they can be something else but to also have fun. Before going into the process of a game you first have to understand "what is a game?". Games were first just a wooden board "chess,poker,checkers" etc. or just using your imagination to create entertainment for yourself or others. Now that technology was brought in consoles" Playstation and X-Box" etc.                           How gaming started off                                                              How it is played now Brainstorming and planning What will be the name of my game? What will be the sole objective? What genre will it be? How will I create the world and levels i...
