Alpha

Setting up the Menu 


For this week and to try to make this game look more like an alpha build, I fixed the camera issue I had in my previous sessions. I had to delete my previous scripts for the camera and created new ones which finally managed to work. The only thing that I couldn't really get right once I fixed my main camera issue is the clamp method to adjust how far the player could turn and look up but overall I got what I wanted.

I also managed to set up the pause menu for the game so that the player could enter the settings or quit the level if they wanted to. The thing that I had a problem with was because the key to fire is the left mouse button, and to select one of the pause menu you need to click the left mouse button, it fires the arrow even though the game is frozen and it's something I'm currently trying to fix. The things I need to fully add are the fire arrows, the in game hud and the main menu and after that I would say that the beta build would be finally done.

    Hello Justin, I hope you're well. Your game is looking very good so far so good job. I'm glad you finally got your camera fixed because I'm sure that was annoying. The game is looking very good so far and the shaders make it look very pleasing to look at. Also good work on creating a pause menu for game as that is probably useful when playing it. I guess the main menu won't be that difficult to add since you already put in the pause menu. Looking forward to seeing how the game turns out. Good luck!

    Hey Justin,
    Your game seems like it's coming along really well. The aesthetics for your game look really good, like far better than anything I could've ever implemented in the time span and with the resources we had. How are the fire arrows going to impact or interact with different aspects of your game? Did you have plans for any other types of arrows and effects? It might be interesting to add an alternate bow that differs from the standard one, maybe something with like a faster speed but slower aim? I don't know how feasible that would be this late into development though.

  What I enjoy Hola 'tis me. I'd like to talk about what I enjoy doing in my free time and my future aspirations that I have. A thing that I've been getting more and more into is music. Music is a daily part of my life and sometimes it is hard for me to get by without it. For example, I always have to listen to music when I'm doing work or sometimes when I'm playing a game where game audio isn't important at all. My artists that are on heavy rotation are The Weeknd, Kanye West and Jay-Z as they have most influenced my life through their music and their personalities. Music has also inspired my future aspirations. Currently I can't choose if I wanna go into music as a career or animation as I love drawing(although I'm not too great) and have always wanted to improve on my skills. Those are like my dream career paths and I honestly should be working much harder to work towards my dream job. I want to eventually leave Ireland for Japan or somewhere where bu

Understanding Game Design

  Learning Game Design Fundamentals After reading "What is a game anyway?", it gave me a new perspective of what a game actually is. I've always had a straightforward way of thinking about it. I always knew it was an art as there are so many masterpieces of games out there, but there are so many different elements that actually make a game what it is. In order for a game to function as a game, it has to have rules, activities, goals, decision making and so many more aspects. All of the games that I have played or that are out there have these elements and are the reason why they exist. I have also learned that people have different interpretations of games and what they are, but to me a game is where you get to forget about the outside world and immerse yourself into the experience and enjoy yourself. Learning how to come up with ideas whether they are good or bad is also essential to game design as you have to go through all of the options you have. After reading "T
