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...

My Favorite Game

Main logo for Red Dead Redemption 2 (2019) My Favorite Game that I have ever played since owning a console was Red Dead Redemption 2. This ought to be the best game of the decade and was also voted as the number 1 game of 2019 and has been labeled the best video game of  ALL TIME ! The game was able for all gaming consoles Xbox and PS4 and later came out on PC with a higher FPS and better graphics then the consoles a month later. Although the game itself was popular; many found the game demeaning, sexist and even racist at times but the game was set in the late 19th century where there was many of these acts committed. I guess the company that made the game "Rockstar Games" just wanted to capture what it was like to live during the golden age and end of gunslingers and law-breakers.  You play as Arthur Morgan, a old gunslinger along with his gang of criminals who are running away from the federal police who are keen on killing him and his crew and finally ending the...

Tutorial 6

  Unity Tutorial 6 In this tutorial, I had to create a health-bar for Ruby, this was really a interesting way to learn how health-bars are made on Unity and creating one that came out really well was even better as it was in-sync with the c# script "RubyController" and "UIHealthBar" from the beginning. The use of a UI or User Interface was another experience, very difficult but helps the game stand out. Next what I had to do was create an NPC, a frog who ruby would talk to by coming up to them and pressing "X" and then a dialog box which was created using UI~ Canvas~ Text to display a message warning Ruby about the robot.  It was cool to learn how to interact with NPC's and allow them to speak to you or send a message. The method known as raycasting which is basically a collider lets this happen.
