A Screenshot of my game this week

For this week's progress, I decided to put a bit of texture in my terrain because I felt that it was too play every time I look at my game on the screen. However, this is not the design that I am aiming for as I want it to look more like a forest than just a simple maze but it will all depend if I will have more time to design my game. Today, I also realized that the player does not move on the left. Instead, it rotates, therefore, I have to fix it again and it took me a while to figure it out but luckily I was able to fix it. 

The only problem I am trying to fix now is the camera. It follows the player as it moves around but whenever it enters the maze, the camera does not rotate/follow the angle of the player's direction making you not able to see what is in front of the player at all. This made me realized that coding my game will take a lot of time than I thought it would be.

For the next week, I would like to focus on the camera rotation and once I completed that task, I will try and add the "splatter effect" that I want to add at the back of the ball. I also downloaded more assets that I will use to design my maze.



I am not sure if this video will play but, I just want to show what is happening to the camera when I press play. I don't know how to fix it.

    Hey Flossie, I really like how your game is coming along, I like games with mazes in them! It must've been really hard to design that so major props to you for doing so! I hope you were able to fix the problem of the camera's movement and also the video did work for me and I got to watch it.

    Hi Flosie! Your game is looking really good so far and I like how you want to go for a forest type aesthetic; getting "lost in the woods" is something that comes to mind which perfectly fits the maze game idea. I'm not exactly sure how to fix the issue you're having with the camera but maybe take a look at the driving simulator tutorials we did at the start of the semester?? I hope you figure it out and I'm excited to see the finished product!

    Hey Flosie,
    Your game looks so good you've made so much progress with it congrats. I love the aesthetic your going for with the new textures of the kinda forest vibes. It kinda reminds me of like a fairytale type idea which I think it is really cool. I am not 100% on how you would fix the camera but I would recommend like Nadine has said to check one of the first Unity tutorials we did I know that's what I did with my game and it seemed to work for me but then I still had some issues so.

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...

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...

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...
