Personal Screenshot From My Unity Hub


This week in Unity I tried out making a 2D Game for the first time. I found it a bit difficult getting back in to Unity after the break over Christmas, and even harder trying to learn something new, but I eventually got it done. I found it a lot easier doing Unity while on call with other people because we were able to help each other if we had any difficulties. I had a lot of difficulties last year with Unity and didn't find myself enjoying it so I was a little apprehensive coming into this semester and having to use it again, but I found making a 2D game wasn't as hard as making the 3D one. I didn't find this weeks task too difficult, I was just making little small mistakes along the way, but they were all easily fixed. I hope coming into the next few weeks that I'm able to get back into the groove of Unity and find it easier each week. I will definitely keep doing Unity each week on call with some of my classmates because I felt like I was able to get a lot more done faster when we were able to help each other throughout the process.

Tutorial 06

Personal Screenshot from Unity Hub For this weeks Unity tutorial I had to add a health bar on to the screen of the game, to do this I had to develop a user interface into the game.  To start I had to create a canvas for the health bar by making a rectangle shape and then adding in an image into the space and also used the masking tool to show when he health declines when she's hit. In the second part of the tutorial we had to add in world interactions into the game and also some ray casting, which made the world look a little bit more natural and added in things like shadows to the characters for when they're in different lighting. We also cleaned up our scripts a little bit and just took out some of the code that wasn't needed at this stage.  I found some parts of this week's tutorial quite difficult but I got there in the end. I'm not too sure what else we can add to the game but I look forward to finishing it soon.

Game Jam Reflective Report

 When I first heard about Game Jam at the start of the semester I wasn't too interested in applying to participate because my coding skills and game development skills aren't too strong. But as it got closer to the time of game jam I decided to just apply anyway because it's something I've never done before and it was a chance to meet some new people from other campuses and also to try and strengthen my game design skills over the weekend event. As a whole I really enjoyed the whole weekend and I was really happy with my team, we worked very strongly together and each of us had something different to bring to the team throughout the process.  I think the format of Game Jam was really good, I liked that we were put with people we knew but also people we didn't know, so it wasn't as nerve wrecking having someone you know within the team opposed to being with all strangers. I also liked that it was a 3 day thing and not something stretched over throughout the semes...

  Image Source UX design is an abbreviation for User Experience design. It is concerned with how people interact with products and services. It includes everything from digital products like websites and apps to everyday appliances like phones and toasters. UX is not a new concept. Engineers and product designers have been researching this issue for decades in order to improve design. Nowadays, the human factor is being emphasized even more.  Donald Norman, a user experience architect at Apple, coined the term UX. He used it to cover all aspects of system experience. Industrial design, graphics, software interface, physical interaction, and even the user manual were all included. A content management system, also known as a CMS, is the control system for a website where web content is managed and maintained. Everything from editing text and adding images to creating galleries is managed by content management systems. The CMS is where new web content, such as onsite pages and b...
