Unity Tutorial 07

 Audio and Building


In this week's final tutorials, I've learned how to implement sound into my game and how to build and run it after finishing it. For the audio section, It was new to me as I've never really looked into the sound aspect of unity. I remember messing around with it a little in my game for semester 1, but I was really just blindly following a video so I didn't learn much. I didn't find much difficulty in it really. It was all pretty straight forward but I do remember it being easier on the 3d side of unity rather than the 2d one here.

For the second part I learned how to build the game, make sure all of the settings fit with the game and to make sure everything works the way it's intended. the first time I built the game and exported it, it wouldn't launch for whatever reason but the second time I exported it as a game everything was working fine. No issues or anything. For the game jam, I tried to export my final game and it just would keep crashing everytime I launched the game so I was glad that didn't happen this time.

  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

Game Idea Research

  Bow: To No one After presenting my 4 game ideas last week, I decided to go for the bow game as it seems fun to make and more of an idea I leaned towards than the other 3. As I said in my previous post, the game is a level based game where the more you complete the levels, the harder the levels get. There will also be a system in where you can upgrade the bow or you can buy a new and stronger one all together which will give the player a sense of progression and the urge to play more to unlock the new bows. So for the 3 mechanics for the game, I decided to keep it simple as it is a pretty simple game design-wise. For the first game mechanic, it's drawing the bow. So when you start playing the first level, you learn about drawing the bow and firing. The longer you draw your bow, the faster the shot travels with not much of an arc and the shorter you draw, the slower and the more of an arc the bow will have. At the start of the game, the user won't have to utilize this mechanic

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
