Unity Tutorial 1

We were given the plan of designing our very first 2D video game called "Ruby's Adventure" where the main character a fox travels through the land, fixing up the evil robots surrounding the map. 

Above is the image of the world I laid out and created using the sprites given through the Unity Assets Store. I first started off setting up the 2D workspace and using a PNG for the first time towards something as technical as Unity. I then created my C# script "RubyController" for the main character but before they could move I needed to first create the game world. I added the sprites along with Box Colliders 2D components so that Ruby would not run through them so I added a Box Collider on her too. 

My favorite part was actually getting the character to move, I had a bit of trouble towards the script as I had a lot f errors most of the time. It was a tough time trying to get familiar with how creating a 2D game would be and I am looking forward to the next tasks I have to do to make this game.

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?".

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. Image source : Myself 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 ga...
