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...

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

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...
