Unity week 7

A screenshot of my C# code
 In this weeks tutorial I learned how to create more realistic animations in my game and how to add particle effects and sound effects to my game. This tutorial will be helpful for when I go onto developing my own game because of how I can now make more visually realistic effects in my games. Making the character look more like they are actually running makes the game appear more polished which is something that I would like to achieve with my game. Although basic elements like functional code is important I would argue that this extra layer of polish is important because it makes the games look more put together and more complete.

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...
