Tutorial 05

 This week I covered tutorial number 4 swell as number 5. Tutorial number 4 was about creating sprite animations of a robot within the game this tutorial was pretty challenging there was a lot of new things that we haven't been over before. we started off by using the animator component in unity and set up a new player controller within the animator component. Then when animating the robot all the frames had been given to us in our assets folder so we put those together in the animator this was the easy part the tutorial then got difficult when using the blend tree and setting the parameters but we got there in the end.

the next tutorial was about creating a projectile. This was pretty straight forward all the code was given to us in the tutorial we made the projectile out of a cog sprite and then applied the appropiate physics to that it would collide with objects and fix the robot when collided with.

Tutorial number 5 was about setting up the camera. We installed a package called cinemachine. Which basically follows the player around the game as the player moves about instead of being in a fixed position. we set the camera to orthographic mode so that perspective on things didn't become warped. then we set the camera to follow our player and restrited it so that it stayed within the boundaries of the 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

Vision Statment

For this weeks blog we had to create as vision statment. A vision statement is pretty much a formal pitch as to what your game is about. You would usually present this type of documentation to the company you work for and then they'll pretty much give you the go ahead or tell you to bin the idea. A Vision statement is also off value to the designers. It eliminates uncertintay and should provide them with the answers to any questions they may have. Vision Statement:   Title: Down Hill skate – Down Hill adreanline Rushing skateboard simulation- for iphone andriod/ miningame.   Description: The game is simple you are a skateboard rider from the San franciisco bay area who speeds down hills at death defying speeds in your spare time for the fun of it.  The player has to navigate his way down hill swerving in and put of cars and avoiding obstacles such as grains and cones. The objective of the game is to collect as many coins/ tokens as possible without getting hit. The Game becomes mor
