Game Decisions

 

Game Decisions 


This is a progression of a flow 
this comes from a video from "Game Design with Michael"

So after doing some reading about the game decisions topics I come to realise to learn more about the flow state and what it means. It is essential to have a flow inside of your game because that is what makes your game more enjoyable and enjoy the challenges that it creates inside of it that are both engaging and that it is matched with the player's skill level.


Flow state means which is known as for some people "being in the zone" the player is really engaged with the game one. One minute they start playing at 13:00 and then all of a sudden they lookout and it's a dark time and they realise they have been playing for 7 hours straight non-stop. That is an example of what a flow state is.

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...

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 t...

Beta

  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 t...
