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.

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 in which the game revolves around? What will be my characters? Who will be the main villain? These are the questions that should be asked before designing a game.  The pre plan is where your
