Week 5 unity tutorial

Screenshot of my prototype
 This weeks unity tutorial involved me starting a new project. This project focuses on a game with a more defined goal. My first prototype was a very basic game with no win or lose state and very minimal features. This project is more advanced and it better represents a finished game. This tutorial began by covering basic player movement which includes moving left, right, forward and backwards while also insuring that the player character stayed within the bounds of the playable space in the game. I then learned how to make the player character throw the piece of food using the spacebar, I did this by using a C# script. I then went onto learn how to make the animals spawn when the S key is pressed and to then change the perspective of the camera when the animals spawn in.

Hey, my name is Ciara and I'm a twenty year old student from Drogheda. I'm a capricorn sun, Leo moon and Taurus rising for my fellow astrology enjoyers.  Photo of me Taken by me I am also an artist and when I finish college I would love to pursue a career in graphic design. In terms of the art I create I like to focus on the mediums of ink, gouache, digital and oil. Prior to starting this course I spent a year working on a portfolio in a local PLC college.    Gouache painting By me In addition to art I also love music, I play guitar, sing and write music. Some of my favourite artists are Paramore, Phoebe Bridgers, Deftones, Architechts, La Dispute, Rage against the machine, Pup and Lorde. I would consider my music taste to be quite diverse and I listen to a little bit of everything but I mostly live in the circle of ' alternative ' music as I grew up on a lot of punk, metal and grunge music. I am also pretty active in my local alternative music scene. I'm also very ...

Game idea research

 Researching ideas for my game The game idea that I'm focusing on in this post is my idea of a cat simulator. Based on some of the feedback I've received from my classmates I believe that this would be a very interesting and entertaining game. Screenshot of neko atsume link The first idea for one of the possible game mechanics for my game is to include a feature where you can ' collect ' different cats. I imagine this being like the cat collection feature in the game  Neko Atsume . This feature would allow for me to include a range of different kinds of cats with different personalities, likes and dislikes. This would keep the game fresh on repeat playthroughs. I would implement this by having different kinds of cats appear periodically in the adoption center. Another possible mechanic I would like to include would be a feature where you can develop relationships with the cats you adopt. I imagine this being similar to the friendship mechanic in animal crossing where y...

Brainstorming topics for my game

 In this blog post I intend on running through some possible ideas for the game that I am going to create. I will discuss where I got the inspiration for the game from, my ideas for the art style and mechanics I would like to include. Idea 1- Cat simulator My cat Ham, the inspiration for my cat sim My first idea is for a Nintendogs style game where you keep and care for cats. Another big part of why I would want to make a game in this style is that I recently got a kitten and I would like to share this experience with others. Ideally I would like this game to be a relaxing and more casual game. I would like the art style to be relatively simple, in recent years there has been a revival of cell shading and other less detailed art styles in games and I believe that this kind of style would suit a game like this. In terms of mechanics in this game I would like to include ways to play with your cat, feed them, bathe them and I would like to add some unique cats with very distinct perso...
