Planning

 

Image of my brainstorm from Notes.

Hi guys, it is me again! 

For this blog, I will talk about how I will plan my research strategy for our Writing Project. The first topic that I decided to write about is Gameplay, focusing especially on the Hierarchy of Challenges in a game. I remember we read an article about this topic during the last semester and I was really interested in it. A topic such as how the level of difficulty can affect the player mentally and how do we plan it really stood out to me. I am looking forward to doing my research and being able to write a book about it!

This week, a staff from the Library, Lindsay, visited us during our lecture to talk about how the online library site could help us gather information for our writing project. She also went through the website of the Library such as how to use it, how to borrow a book online, and most importantly, she showed us how to reference correctly and organize our work in an easier way by using RefWorks which was very helpful as well.

I decided that I will use a bit of the Matrix method to organize my research because I am not that good at managing my work. I might also use RefWorks to gather my research from the library and verified articles from google. The image above is a brainstorm about my chosen topic. I tried to think of keywords and some information that I remembered from the last semester. The amount of work given only increased the amount of pressure I had but I then realized the if took everything step by step at a time, I did not realize that I already completed most of the work. Therefore, for this semester I will try to encourage myself to do well like last semester!

Twitter List!

Lee jong Suk giving you flowerrrsss Hi guys! How are you doing? I tried to create a List on Twitter. Link to an external site I have never created a Twitter List before so it is a new experience. I also think that this will be useful to me especially in the future as I want to explore more about animators and designers and learn from them. I also think that creating a list of specific topics would help you to find them easily and it is more organized.

Game Idea Research

Maze  Inspiration Last week, I started to collect some game ideas and talk about what we like about them. However this week, we have to choose on out of all the game ideas we picked. The game that I decided to do is similar to "Roller Splat!" but in 3D instead because that is the type of game we are learning in Unity. I think that it will be helpful as I can utilize the skills that I learned from the tutorials to my project instead of studying another type of game. I will have more time to develop my game better if I stick to 3D style as well. Choosing this type of game is also a good starter, especially for people who want to make a game for the first time like me. My game will also be played in a first person point of view means that the camera of will be placed at the back following the ball inside the maze. While doing my secondary research, I find countless of game tutorials on YouTube that are related to the idea I am going for. Most of them are also made in Unity which...

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...
