My Beta 

So I have come towards the end of my game and I must say I did try my best to make the best game possible. There were some aspects of it I just couldn't get to work such as the collision detection and the game over screen but everything else was quite good. I changed a few things about my game since my last blog. I had removed the logs to jump over because my jump button isn't working properly. The jump script does work but doesn't actually jump which is weird. So I had just had my character move left to right while still being able to collect coins and run. The environment that I had made I am quite happy with and I think I couldn't have done better. 


Overall I think I could have done better with my game in terms of mechanics but it is all a good learning curve and I must say I did learn a lot about Unity these past 12 weeks in and I was quite obsessed with trying to make my game the best game possible and the challenge of making the game work etc. Another thing I could have improved was adding music and a big thing was making the mechanics work better which I really would have loved. 


Altogether, I felt these 12 weeks were amazing and I don't think I would change anything except for all the things about my game that I want to improve but what I was thinking was the lessons that I learnt throughout that time-lapse and that is something I don't want to change. I loved the whole challenge of the process and I learned also what really goes on about making a game, reading about games and understanding what games are about. I loved the challenges along the way and as I kept doing more, I learnt a lot more.

  1. What’s up Nasim

    I can relate to you on wanting to make your game the best version possible

    At the start of the semester, I wanted to do the same thing but I couldn’t get all the code to work and ultimately had to scale back my game and make it much more simplistic. Although I wish it could have gone better it’s great to hear that your game went great.

    It’s also fantastic to hear that you had a great time while making this game and throughout the learning process

    Hope this module turns out well for you

  2. Hello Nasim, I’m happy to hear that you still had a good experience from the process of making the game even though some things did now work out your way. I also thought it was nice when you said that you said you wouldn’t change how you learned during the process of making your game. I also enjoyed reading your blog post’s because you talked about the topics in depth, and it showed your interest in them. And your game is fun to play even though you didn’t get to put some elements you wanted to put. Overall, I really enjoyed your game and blog posts.

Introduction to a Future Success

  Introduction to myself :)  This is me Nasim Slavotic :) Hello! My name is Nasim Slavotic, I am 20 years old and I am now a 2nd-year student in TUDublin Blanchardstown doing Creative Digital Media. I am from Dublin and I work part-time in my dad's butcher shop here in Blanchardstown in Coolmine near the post office.  What are my hobbies?  In my free time, I like to go to the gym. Also, I like to go out and take pictures with my camera and make videos on my Youtube channel (NaSiM101) which I took a break from for a while from the pandemic but I do love to brainstorm new ideas for videos and discover new trending things. I also love going out with my friends but now I am starting to go back out again since the pandemic had closed everything before but now everything is coming back to normal slowly but surely. When I'm bored I like to head on Photoshop and Illustrator and just make whatever comes in my mind.  https://pxhere.com/en/photo/1621191 Favourite Foods  I am a foodie at h

My First Playable

  First Playable My First Playable game so far At this point right now in the process of making my game, I have now implemented the environment, the 3d character, the HUD interface of the gold coins, the player being able to run forward across the map and move left and right avoiding the obstacles pressing the left and right keys or the A and D keys. I also implemented the trigger where when you run across the coins you are able to collect the coins and the number of coins you collect will appear on the top left of the screen. I adjusted the main camera angle to be a third-person view of the entire game so it gives a good perspective of the coins and the obstacles. I then added plants to give it a better aesthetic and look to the game. The thing I wanted to change from my original vision was that I wanted to make the game way more suited to the theme of the game itself. So instead of wooden spikes, I added logs and instead of tree trunks I added regular trees and then I also added rock

Alpha

  Alpha  This is my progress, I have updated the HUD and I added a few more features in the environment What is going good? So far so good, the game is coming along well. There are a few scripts I put in such as collecting coins, player movement, environment design, generating random levels and level boundaries.  The Technical Difficulties  But there are a few technical difficulties I am going through which is every time I try to put a rigid body component into my player when I added the jump feature into my player controller script, the player for some reason falls through the map and I tried many times trying to fix the issue but I will try my very hardest to fix it. I also need to add in collision detection with the obstacles and when the player does collide with one of the obstacles it will say game over and you have to restart again. Those are some of the difficulties I am facing, I will try and reach my lecturer or one of my peers in class to see if they know the issue behind thi
