For this module we will be using a lot of different tools for our assignments. The one we have already used a lot is Blogger where we have written all our blogs for our weekly tasks. We will be using Unity a lot throughout this module. I remember using Unity when I was in my PLC and I found it fairly hard. However this is the only tool I am familiar with so far. Other tools we will use are Spark, Canvas, Cheezburger and Automotivator. I have heard of Spark and Canvas however I have never used them and I have never heard of Cheezburger.  I look forward to trying out all these new tools in this module and I am hoping I will become better at game design while doing this module throughout the year and it will get easier overtime. We never did any game design in first year however we did do a blog for our photography modules in 1st year and I did do game design in my PLC so both blogging and game design are familiar to me.

Introduction Post

  My name is Eoin Harrington. I am 22 years old. I am in 2nd year in creative digital media in TUD Blanchardstown. The photo above is a picture of myself (and a pretty good one might I add). The best classes I took last semester were digital photography and storytelling and narrative. I enjoyed digital photography because I have an interest in photography and it was fairly easy and I passed it. I enjoyed storytelling because I have an interest in filmmaking and it is what I want to do when I am finished this course so I ended up with a basic idea of what it was like to actually make a film as our main assignment was to make a short film and I then passed it which made me very happy as I now feel like I might actually be good at it. I enjoyed introduction to digital media as well because it was interesting learning about the evolution of digital media and I enjoyed doing the essays as they were interesting topics. Web development was an interesting module however I did find it very ...

My Favourite Game: Grand Theft Auto Franchise

 GRAND THEFT AUTO ( https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/logo-grand-theft-auto-game-samsung-tablet-grand-theft-auto-gta-action-adventure-video-game-series-created-david-113844972.jpg ) My favourite video game franchise is the Grand Theft Auto franchise or as it's otherwise known GTA. Grand Theft Auto is an open-world action-adventure video game franchise where you play as gang members who mainly specialise in car theft hence the title Grand Theft Auto. The first Grand Theft Auto was released in 1997 and its most recent title Grand Theft Auto V was released in 2013. Grand Theft Auto V is currently the best-selling video game of all time. The franchise consists of seven main games and four expansion packs. I like the whole concept of these games. I like that you have the choice between playing missions and completing story mode as well as a really enjoyable free play. One of my favourite things to do during free play is police chases. My favourite game in the franchise is Grand Theft Auto...

Game Beta

  Image from my game This week I worked on finishing my game. I have been working on this game since week 8. I decided to make a game following the first Unity tutorial that I did and have my player destroy crates in the game and lose if they fall off the edge of the road. What seemed like such a simple idea at the time ended up being really frustrating and challenging believe it or not. I struggled a lot getting my very very basic game to work which then made me wonder how on earth professional game designers actually do it. I followed specific Unity tutorials however I still struggled as a lot of them didn't have the same concept as my game so it was harder to figure everything out but I mostly got there. Right now I have managed to get my player moving, all my crates destroyed when my player collides with them, my player to lose when they fall off the edge of the road however the one thing I'm still finding difficult is getting my player to win the game if he destroys all th...
