When Unity takes a long time to load
Screenshot with the sound effects


Hi guys~

For this week's project update, I tried to create my menu scene again but I still have a LOT of problems. At first, I tried to follow the same tutorial from this week's lab work task and sadly it still did not work even though Shaun advised that I should not use the TextMesh Pro font as we thought it was the one that causes the problem. The tutorial was straightforward, but Unity kept crashing down, and even though I have all of it save during the process, everything that I have done still got deleted.

I decided to look for another tutorial for the Main Menu, I found this 5-minute video tutorial. I find it helpful and it is simpler than the first tutorial. Unfortunately, while I'm nearly done making it, Unity crashed again, so I ended up having nothing is done which is very frustrating because I want to make a decent game by the end of this semester and Unity isn't cooperating :(.

The only things that I get to work on were, adding a background sound effect in the game. I used this website called Freesound that I discovered in a YouTube Tutorial that I watched. I also tried to adjust the speed for the player but I still can't figure out how to make it roll smoothly and fast. Overall, I'm still glad that I still get to work on at least a few things in my game even though I was struggling at the start.

  1. Hey Flosie,
    I'm so sorry to hear that you had so many problems this week. If it is any consolation I'm in the same boat. I know you wanted to make a "decent game" as you said but from the looks of it it is that and it's more about the process than it is about the finale product. Also your game looks way better than me so well done on that Flosie.

  2. Hi Flosie, I read your OG post about your game a few weeks ago and I loved your game! I still do it's such a good idea! I read all the posts up to this and wow, I'm impressed! It's obvious you've put a lot of work into the game! I really enjoy your writing because you describe everything really well. I'm sorry to hear about all your problems! I feel you sometimes it just doesn't go your way, but you're trying your best and it's out of your hands! I love the look of your game; I would definitely be awful at it! What kind of music did you add? I really enjoyed it overall, I’m looking forward to it being completed and hopefully I will be able to play it! Best of luck! -Megan

  3. Hi Flosie! Your game looks really good and I really like the concept. It's really annoying when you follow tutorials and something still goes wrong.. Unity can also be a pain with the crashing :/ I'm glad that you were able to find a main menu tutorial that was easy to follow even if your progress was lost in the end.. but restarting that bit shouldn't be too difficult since you already have the tutorial on hand! It seems like you're making good progress overall though and good luck with the rest!

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...

Unity Tutorial 04

This week's tutorial lesson was very straightforward and easy to follow. I also did not have any problem with the Unity tutorial videos and the software this time which I am really glad about. I learned how to apply codes that can destroy the objects when the collision is detected. I also know how to add the "Game Over" message in coding if the farmer missed feeding one of the animals. The tutorial lesson also taught us how to spawn the animals at timed intervals so that the animals will appear randomly on the game. Here are the things that I learned for this week's Unity tutorial: Lesson 2.4 New functionality: Animals are spawned on timed interval and walk down on the screen and the animal gets past the player without getting fed, there's a "Game Over" trigger massage at the left bottom of the screen. When the projectile and animal collide, objects are removed right away. New Concepts/Skills: Create custom methods/functions InvokeRepeating() to repeat c...

Time Strategies

Ancient clock As usual, I have been trying to start my last blog for this week, but because I procrastinate so much I never ended up doing it.  I feel like I always keep saying (I'll do it tomorrow morning), knowing very well that I am actually not a morning person!😂 . Anyways.... I am doing it again, moving away from the main topic. *facepalm* Today I will be talking about the time management which is ironic for me as I have been procrastinating before doing this blog. We were given multiple articles to choose from and read at least 2 of them to help us manage our time and keep our head on track with college work. Even though it is only the 2nd week of semester, we already have plenty of things to do, whether it is a tasks or labs. I've already found myself overthinking and feeling pressured to be able to submit the work on time. I also find it hard to stick to my planned timetable for this specific module that I created last week because there are tasks that kept coming. The...
