Unity Tutorial 01

Sky screenshot from Unity while doing the lab

I just completed the Unity tutorials lab 1.1, 1.2, 1.3!

I was so happy that I got to start learning new skills that I could use to create my first game. Even though I found it difficult at the beginning since I was still not familiar how the software work, I still learned a couple of things every stage of the tutorials. Such as getting to use to the tools and creating Assets folders, moving the vehicle down the road at a constant speed, and also experimenting with mass to the vehicle and obstacle objects which was fun because when they started to collide, they started flying into the air.😂I also experienced how to code a game for the first time which was very cool and it has a similarity with website coding as well so it wasn't too bad for me to understand.

The person who teach us in the video was also very helpful and straightforward. I also like the way that he makes some error during the tutorials because it shows that even an expert programmer makes mistakes.

However, I still have difficulties with the tutorials when I started. It took me a while to understand how the camera angles work making me a bit behind with the tasks but overall, everything was good. I am also looking forward to more tutorials so I could improve more skills along the way 🙏.

Exploring Game Design

Inspiration image about discovering new things We started this week's tasks by reading articles about defining what a game is to a more detail and in depth explanations. I used to define "game" as one or multiple players who works together to complete certain tasks with a set of rules that they must follow whether they win or lose. However if I put more thoughts into it, the definition gets more profound and brings me more in depth about what a game truly is. As I read though the first article that was talking about particular definitions of what a game is depending on how much interaction they have with it. For example, the more interest they have about games the more knowledge they can share with people. There is an interpretation from the article that I like based on a book called "Rules of Play" by Katie Salen and Eric Zimmerman. They explained that games are a "system in which players engage in an artificial, defined by rules, that results in a quanti...

Introduction to a future Animator 😁

If you've been reading my blog post since the day I started, you have read my first introduction. However, I haven't really talked about myself. So in this post, I will along with questions from the tasks we have given. 😁 My photo from last year First of all my name is Flosie Jane Sazon, I am currently a 2nd-year student studying Creative Digital Media at the Technological University of Dublin located in Blanchardstown Campus. I'm 20 years old (even though I don't look my age 😂) and I have been living in Ireland since I was 13. This course wasn't actually my first choice even though I love art. My first choice was something about business and language which was way different from what I'm doing now, but I'm really happy that I'm doing what I love. Even though there were a lot of times convincing my parents but everything went well in the end.😂😂 What was the best class you took last semester? why? Even though I enjoyed Web Development and Design Proc...

Game Elements

Textured background with a text. Link This week's reading task is about game elements where we have to explore more important vocabulary that we could use and also consider if we are starting to build our game project. The first written document that I read was analyzing the qualities of games. It started to give a quick summary about the definition of a game and all of main qualities can be simply called as "Formal Elements" also known as "Atomic Elements of Games" . They are the smallest parts of a game that can be studied individually. Here are the 10 Atomic elements: Players Objectives (goals) Rules Resources/Resource Management Game State Information Sequencing Player Interaction Theme (Setting, Narrative, Backstory) Game as Systems After reading each explanation about these elements, I started to understand how important it is to follow this because every one of them has a special role in our game. The whole game could change if we just adjust/remove a...
