Week 4-Reading

 Game Elements 



Reading the two articles What are the qualities of game design and Game design research  and watching the video of game design, helped me see where I need to know and understand the process of making a game and what I should be thinking when I start designing my game.

I liked the part in What are the qualities of game design in the critical analysis section, it opened my view on what I should be focusing on when I'm making my game, like what challenges are the players are going to face and how are they going to overcome these challenges or maybe if the game is repayable, does the game have many different ways to win or finish the game.

I also learned that critical analysis is very important for people that are into game design and how critical analysis is a skill because anyone can review a game but not everyone is going to be good at describing their thoughts when talking about the game, like the person reviewing the game can say "I like the game because it's fun and I'll rate the game a 10/10" It's very bland and it's not going to help the designers on to know why the game is fun, and a-lot of people can be very biased when they review games, they can like the game a-lot and just say how amazing the game is and not say anything about the flaws of the game and what the developers can improve on or the person can not like the game and can just point out all the flaws of the game and not mention what's actually good about the game, that's why it's better for people to review a game that has an unbiased opinion.

When I was watching the video on game design and how you should make many different prototypes for your game, I didn't think that you can make prototypes for your game in many ways like drawing the game or cutting pieces of paper and planning how the game is going to work.

Tutorial 06

 Week 19(07) In this lesson we learned how to use a user interface which overlays images and text on your science to show information. This section was pretty interesting I'll be honest but I wouldn't say that I enjoyed doing this but it was still pretty interesting to learn for example we learned how to create a UI canvas. We also had to use a rect transform and what that is it's basically still a transform but it has an additional UI data that you can look up later on and there was other functions like the canvas scaler. World interactions was pretty cool we learned how raycasting is very useful to interactive applications because it allows you to detect things like colliders, and I didn't know raycasting has a lot of other options depends on the type of game you are making for example to check whether there is anything between the main characters position and an enemy position.

Week4- Unity tutorial 02

 Week4- Unity tutorial 02 This is my second blog discussing my experience after finishing the second unity tutorial and I have to say my second time using this program was way better than the first time because I'm a bit for familiar with how everything works now thanks to the first tutorial I was able to finish each task much faster now and was able to understand what the person was telling me to do because the first tutorial I was having trouble with the code and other software problems but I got passed that now and the program is very easy to use. In this tutorial we had to learn too move the vehicle left and right instead of it just going straight so now we were able to move it either direction, so now we can actually try and doge the boxes instead of just hitting the boxes, but the only way we can move it was by dragging it to the right or to the left, we then learned about mapping the controls to the keys but the great thing about unity is that it already does it for you whic...
