First Playable



 This week we started on our coding. last week we were just gathering all our assets together and creating our scene. We started off by positioning the camera behind the skateboard to give us the in game view that we wanted this was pretty straight forward. Then we started on the coding for the player. 

The coding for the player in my game is pretty much the same for the coding of the car in our first unity tutorial. I went back and watched the videos on how he nodded his game and applied what was nescesary to my game. All that needed changing was the speed and the turning. I thing added rigid bodies the obstacles for a start. I event gotten them to move yet but that won't be too hard. I took it pretty easy this week because of the submissions I had in other modules but next week I think I'll probably struggle with repeating the road constantly so that the driver doesnt fall off the edge.  Thats the only thing I'm a bit uncertain about. The rest of it should be straight forward.

    Hi Daniel, from reading your previous project posts, your game seems great. It reminds me of the skateboard games that were really popular maybe 10ish years ago on phones. I was addicted. Are you still struggling to get a suitable backdrop? I struggled with assets myself, so it's great to see you found yours a lot easier. It's also clearly coming along nicely! Have you found any tutorials on what could help extend your road to last forever? Are you making anything customisable for the player or is the game just as is? I'm interested to see what you do next with it, especially since you said you took it light this week. I'm sure a lot will change the next time you work on it. Best of luck!

 Hello my name is Daniel Jupe. I am 20 years old and in 2nd year of the Creative digital media course in TU Dublin. My Favourite part of last year was the studio photography module. I enjoyed this module the most because I learnt a lot about lighting and photography and it was the most enjoyable for me. To be entirely honest my goal for this module is just to pass. I haven't really got much interest in video games I will remain open minded going into this module but I can't imagine ill enjoy it that much so just a B or a C would do me. In My spare time when I'm not doing college work or working my job I like to go to the gym, listen to music /podcasts, go skating and surfing for the weekend whenever I get it off. I think my short term goal is to get through to 3rd year without any more repeats. in the longer run Id like to work with some company like red bull or some kind of production company to do photography and videography covering action sports, concerts and festivals.

 This week we continued the making of my game further. Continuing on from last week I was having an issue with my player whenever I tried to add a rigid body component it would fall through the terrain I fixed this by adding in a mesh collider. This week I spent my time getting the controls down on my game now whenever the game starts the board takes off and can now be navigated using the left and right arrow keys. I learnt how to do this from following previous unity tutorials.  with the player now able to navigate the course I added an if statement to the player controller script that enables the player to jump so now when the home button is pressed the player can jump in the air. I had to adjust the mass of the player in the rigid body because whenever I would jump the player would be suspended in the air for too long this would have caused problems later in the game because some obstacles in the game are meant to be cleared others are not.  So far I think I'm on track for my ga

Game Prototype

 This week we began by making our prototypes for our games. I was fortunate enough to already have most of the assets for my game already downloaded from the unity story. most fo the assets used will be from the first set of unity tutorials all I needed to outsource was a skateboard and a backdrop of some kind here are some screenshots of what I have put together so far The only one Im struggling to find is a sutible backdrop so if anyone who's reading this knows anything about designing backdrops in unity or where to source them from please drop a comment below all help is appreciated     once I have gotten my backdrop I will then begin my coding process.
