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 the crates but besides that everything is going fine after a long difficult road. Hopefully I will figure out how to get my player to win but thankfully I have everything else working.

    Hey Eoin, your game beta looks great, I like that your idea is based off Tony Hawk. Yeah, some simple ideas are hard to make, especially if you are using Unity. And some unity tutorials can only help you to a limit but at least you get to learn new things. But happy to hear your main elements are working. When your able to get your "player to win" aspect to work, would you consider using some type of effect or animation when they win?. Good luck, looking forward to seeing your finished game.

    Hey Eoin!
    Well done on getting this far and having a beta done for your game, you must feel relieved!
    It's great that you're taking inspiration from all of the Unity Tutorials, they were really helpful throughout the weeks for inspiration.
    It's great how far your game has come and I can't wait to see the finished product,
    Rachael :)

  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...
