Alpha

(Unity screenshot)



Today I will be discussing the alpha of my game and how I am getting on with making it.

I have been working making the door work with different coloured pressure pads. This was slightly difficult to figure out as each pressure pad needed to be different as it would activated by a crate of the same colour. I had this bugging me for a bit of time but eventually I assigned each one a tag according its colour and I assigned each crate a tag so they are triggered by the specific crate. I also figured out how to make the door only open once for each crate so you cannot open the door with just one crate by taking it off and put it on. I made a prototype level sort of a tutorial and it’s playable

This is a big development for me because I thought it would take me way longer to figure out how to link the crate to the pressure pad. The fact I figured it out now I can now focus on getting assets and making the puzzles this makes creating the final game much easier as I essentially have the core mechanics.

    Hey Alek, I hope you're doing well. I see your game is turning out pretty well. Good job on getting the main mechanic of your game sorted. I'm sure the rest of your game will be easier to make now such as the puzzles. I'm sure you'll be able to find all the assets you need for your game. Hopefully the game turns out how you want it. I'm looking forward to seeing the full game!

    Hey Aleks,

    I see you've made great progress on your game and that's always a great feeling when you feel like you're making a lot of progress on the game. The game sounds like it will be a lot of fun when it's actually done so I myself am looking forward to that. Can't wait to see the final touches you add to it and I'm sure it will be a great game to play in the future!

    Hi Aleks,
    Your game looks to be coming along nicely. I'm very impressed that you figured out how to make the door open once for each crate. You seem to have this whole thing going well for you! I hope it turns out the way you want it to but I'm sure it will :)

(Picture of several cogs) (https://www.theknowledgeguru.com/dev/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/learning-game-design-mechanics-1.png)  Hello im going to talk about some game mechanics that I think I will include in my game (Image of a door puzzle in Skyrim) (https://i.ytimg.com/vi/vWY7Nwuz5Nc/maxresdefault.jpg) Since im making a puzzle game I want to include some interesting puzzles. I am reminded of exploring ancient ruin is Skyrim with an artefact on this artefact there would be an inscription and eventually you would get to a door where you would have to turn several wheels of picture for them to match up and in turn open the door I was thinking of including something similar to this in my game. (Picture of the game temple run) (https://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/temple-run-2.jpg) I was also thinking about how when Indiana Jones takes the golden statue in the first movie the temple starts collapsing.  I was wondering if the game would maybe turn into a quick race back to

Introduction too me

Unity Logo (https://unity.com/logo-unity-web.png) Hello welcome too my blog this is a short introduction to me and what I am excited for in this module also since this module is about video games probably some of that. Well firstly I always wanted to create a video game it's always been a dream of mine but seemed very complex it's actually one of the main reasons im in the course so now that we are making one as an entire module gets me excited for the semester. I'm Not exactly sure what kind of game I would like to create it would have to have a good story since thats what I look for in a lot of video games its either for it to tell a story or being able to create one in the game. Recently I have been playing a lot of crusader king 2 which is a medieval grand strategy game however I don't know if I would call it that as there is a lot of luck involved since some wacky and unexpected things might happen for example slipping and dying with no heir too your dynasty causin

PROTOTYPE

(unity logo) (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/19/Unity_Technologies_logo.svg/1200px-Unity_Technologies_logo.svg.png) I want to start off with some basic player movement so he can walk and jump, after this I will try and design some levels. I start of by watching several tutorials on player movement just so I refresh my memory on the topic. I wanted to make movement WASD and make the camera third or first person. I began to make this happen the movement didn’t take me a while to make but I was reminded of the game Grim Fandango and then I thought of making player movement based on clicking. I watched several tutorials on how to achieve this. The click movement gain did not take a while to make. I can see in the future pathing of the player being an issue. I want the camera of each section being static and being able to look over the entire level from a corner.   I also tried my hand at some level design but I scraped everything I made as I was not happy with w
