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.

    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.

    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

    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...

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...
