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.

    Well Daniel,
    Your game looks great so far, it a great place to start when you already have assets downloaded from the unity tutorials we've done, I'm doing the same as my game is very similar to one of the weeks tutorials, but I also have to outsource some objects for my game too. I've actually been having trouble finding backgrounds for my game too, can't find any good website but that's probably because I'm not sure what websites to look for. The game looks great so far, good luck and hope it all works for you.

    Good move using the original unity tutorial assets, theyre well made and will give a nice aesthetic to your game. what asset pack did you use for the skateboard and are there any other assets packages youre planning on adding in?
    Creating your own backdrop would give your game a very personal look and im sure it will be good to have in a portfolio if you ever decide to go for a job in game design.

    Hey Daniel! I think your game looks great so far with just the one week of work you've put in. I used to always play Subway Surfers when I got my first iPhone so love how you have taken inspiration from that. I see that the player will be collecting coins as they run from the police but was wondering if there will also be levels or if the game will get harder as you progress? Also will you be able to play as different characters or will the player be playing as the skateboard? Hope the game goes well for you and after reading your blogs I'm sure you'll do class!

    Hi Daniel, wow your game seems to be coming together really well so far, well done for that, it definitely isn't easy but as long as you get started, it only gets easier from there. You seem to have a good bit done and have most of the assets you need, which is great. Are you having problems with the game mechanics? from my experience they can be very challenging to get right. Good luck with completing your game!

 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
