Game Idea Research

After giving it much thought I decided that moving forward I would go with my second idea that was based on the games "I am Bread" and "I am Fish" where you play as a person who has been shrunk down and has to climb up to the table to the shrink ray in order to get back to normal size. Now I just need to find out how to make the game work luckily the Unity tutorials I did for week 3 and week 4 have all ready shown me how to make my character move and how to control them but for this game to really work I also need to find out how to make my character jump in order for them to get around some of the obstacle that I have in mind fortuitously I have found a video on YouTube that showed how to add it to my C#script. Unlike in I am bread where you controlled individual corners of the bread in mine you will just be the full body as it seems too awkward to do. However another problem I have is due to only using pre made environments so far, I have yet to learn how to make one of my own but I have found instructions on the internet that tell me how to do just that thought I would prefer if it came with a video. I am hopeful that I can pull this game off as I am trying to make it as simple as posable but still make it visually pleasing to play.

    Hey Bernard, hope your well really cool blog you got here. I really like how you decided to base your game off a game that already exists on the market. I am bread is a really fun game. I also like the fact that you said that the unity tutorials will help you a lot throughout this process, that's what they are there for. Did you consider looking at how you're going to do the scaling of objects, I am sure that there are plenty of videos out there that can help you do this task. This will be quite difficult however because you want it to look like everything is bigger than the character. One thing I would consider adding is what is the goal for your game? It would be nice to know if this game will be like a campaign or just quests, I am curious to see how you will want to do this, personally I think having a storyline would be easier for the creation of your game. Overall it was enjoyable to read, best of luck!!

    Hi Bernard, Its Ellen. I really like your game idea it reminds me of that movie 'Honey I shrunk the kids" which is a great movie. I cant wait to see how it comes out!! Im glad you where able to take something from the unity tutorials that you can implement into your game that is going to make things a lot easier for you. Cant wait to see how it comes out !

I have made  significant  progress in the development of my game. I have attracted the camera to the player characters as a child object in order to make the camera fallow my player when he moves and turns. However I have bean having trouble with jumping, I was fallowing the instructions from a tutorial  5 but for some reason when testing it I was only able to jump once and was not able to do it again. I and also not sure how to add the triggers to the button and the X platform as you need to interact with them to win to show that the game is won or not. However I am looking into the problem.  I have also managed to add an animation to the button so that the red cylinder to go down when the player triggered with its box collider.   (before trigger) (after trigger) link  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JS4k_lwmZHk&ab_channel=SpeedTutor

Dublin on the 20th of December 2000 to Alan and Janet Mac Donagh, I have two older siblings the first born, is my brother, Alan jr and the second, is my sister, Lauren who is a doctor and I have a pet dog, a cocker spaniel named Rio. This will be my second Year at TU Dublin Blanchardstown, the course that I am doing is Creative Digital Media. My goal is to learn the different methods of design from video to poster to games. I feel like this year is going to be a bit more difficult that last year due to me us having to do everything online but once I get into a routine it will get less hard over time. When I graduate from collage I am hoping to use the skills that I  have acquired in TU Dublin to to get a job as a graphic designer designing posters and logos. When I was younger I wanted to become a game designer but I changed my mind once I relisted how complex they are. Hear are some facts about me, before I

After much trial and error I have managed to finish the core mechanics how my controller and jumping as well as having some animation to portions of my game with the button. However I have been having trouble with my player character jumping for infinity but with the help of my lecturer Shaun Ferns he found a way to fix it but unfortunately for some reason my player was no longer able to rotate left and right and the controls where reversed so that backward was forewords and left was right. So I decided that the infinity jump was just a small problem and abandoned trying to fix it , instead just giving my game a roof. I am know trying to animate my player movements, as of right know I have managed to give my player the idle animation but I do not know how to change to walking and running just yet but I am looking into solutions for this problem. (T-pose: Before) (idle pose : Now)
