Unity Tutorial 09

 This weeks unity tutorial we learned how to add the final touches to the game.

The first video which was “Clicky Mouse” and I made a game where the boxes appear then removed one you click them and I also learned about the 2d view in the lesson which I haven’t even looked at because everything we've been doing is 3d but it looks interesting.

I learned a new method called “OnMouseDown” so when we get mouse clicks we then know when  the games over.

In the second video we learned more about skills and functionalities’ to add to our game, I added the UI and whenever I  play my game it will just update my score automatically I also learned how to click on my box and  make it explode.

In the third tutorial then, we added more UI elements to the game. I made it for the player to be able to choose the state of the game so when the player missed a box they would have to restarted the game.

Lastly I learned about “Booleans” in the third tutorial which basically is used to control the game states when the game is active it will run like making the  enemies spawn and make the game over screen come up.

Games Stories

 

 The reading task this week was different ,it was about building a story for the game, how its made and the timeline.

 

There were alot of interesting facts that were in the reading documents that actually clicked to me , and one of them was that a games storie arent the same as a movie and in the article they said thats where alot of mistakes were made when making them , dont base them off movies, its not dialog.

Im not mad into games but by reading these articles like i do actually think what there saying is very true in a sense. If you base a game off a movie, youll know the ending and there needs to be different paths to take, and if a game is mostly dialoge.. youll just get bored very easily.

 

The article then discusses how stories are conflict, theres always a good person/hero and theres an obstacle they have to over come.

In which if you actually take a step back and think about it thats so true, even when i was making my game i just always thought of ok well whos the good person? what are the obstacles?

 I actually found the articles very interesting to read!!
