Unity Tutorial 04

Whats up everyone welcome back to this weeks blog on unity. This week we were finishing off the game we started last week the sandwich missile one. In continuation of last weeks project we added some more code so that when the missile (sandwich) launched came into contact with one of the randomly spawning animals the object hit disappeared. This was the final part of this weeks tutorial and whilst it may have seemed small for some reason it was probably the most challenging yet. 

I don't know maybe its just me but I messed up a good few times on this tutorail and if you mess up in unity its a big time struggle trying to find out where you went wrong. I probably spent most of this lesson retracting my steps and re watching videos even from last weeks tutorial. But hey that's all part of the process we got there in end.

The second part of this weeks unity tutorial was a challenge I had a quick look at it and decided yeah nah this one ain't for me so im gonna take the L this week and hopefully bounce back next week.

Below is a picture of the game character stocking up on ammo.

 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

 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.
