First Playable

-

 My Prototype is coming along slowly but surly. I had a period there where I found it hard to work. Personally my motivation wasn't there. I have been finding some aspects difficult and it's taking time with getting the puzzle pieces to scatter correctly in order to then arrange it properly. I've been trying to attempt things suggested by other students like adding a timer and or possibly music to set the tone and mood for the game. I've spent a-lot of time watching youtube videos and doing research on any unity coding to suit my game. 

I'm still confident I can get my Puzzle game up and running the way I have imagined in my head it's just a matter of putting all the pieces together correctly. I feel I have to put in some extra work with some time that I lost which has ended up stressing me out. Once I stick to my plan of action I think everything will work out. Atleast that's what i'm hoping.

The above photo is also where I have gotten some added inspiration. end of the day my goal for this game was never to be overly stressful for the player and I want to try and keep to that as much as possible. 


Thanks for reading!

    Hi Melissa! I actually haven't seen a puzzle game done in other blogs before so this is a very cool and unique idea that I wish I had thought of :C. It's looking like you're coming along well and that you might not have that hard of a time with it if you really grind right now to get it working. If you're able to properly finish your game how about hosting it somewhere? It might be a lot of fun for people to play your game if they can. So far it's looking good so keep it up!

Introduction to Mel’s Thoughts

 I always feel very awkward when it comes to talking about myself and what is it i like to do and what i want to accomplish. It’s one reason i like these blogs. I feel like it’ll get me out of my box slightly with talking about what I think and my thoughts. I was really excited with coming back especially after that mad summer. I know everyone keeps saying it but it honestly still feels like March was just last month. My summer was mostly filled with movies and running. I took up running during quarantine. The first few times I thought It wasn’t for me but once you keep at it, it starts to grow on you. Once quarantine lifted i came back up to Dublin from being home for the few months which was weird in itself. I don’t think ie spent that much time at home in Longford in about 4 years. Once back in Dublin it was just work in my full time job which ended up being crazy. It was constantly busy which none of us really expected. Being back in college now I want to use this year to the best

Game Idea Research

 Last week for game ideas I realised some of the brainstorm ideas were a little harder than what i'm equipped for yet. Such as : -Building houses like in the Sim's(personally one fo my favourite parts) -Puzzle Games -An interactive game where you kill germs  After doing more research into these areas I found some really good and easy to understand tutorials on youtube for puzzle game development on unity. Using photos and splitting them in order to rearrange them the correct way. I was hoping to find something along these lines as I feel puzzle games are really therapeutic.  When considering ideas for this game I looked up youtube videos on similar tutorials done in this certain area. Although some photos used were more for children I feel this is still a game that can be used for all ages as it uses is for more a therapeutic and a use of distracting during the times we are in now. When considering the movement for the game I want to keep it simple but not too simple that you w

My Project   Introduction:   What is a puzzle? " A  puzzle  is a  game , problem, or toy that tests a person's ingenuity or knowledge. In a  puzzle , the solver is expected to put pieces together in a logical way, in order to arrive at the correct or fun solution of the  puzzle". Perfect the Puzzle is going to be a puzzle game that allows players to unscramble photos to get to the next level where the photos will get harder. You will be under the clock for those who like that competitive element.  Description: Once you start the game you will start off on the easiest level possible and the timer will give you 3 minutes to complete the puzzle. As the Levels progress you will get less time on the timer to complete the puzzle. If you fail the puzzle you will have the option to restart the puzzle again. Depending on the person playing and their reason for picking the game either for competitive reason or therapeutic they can progress to the different levels or go back to easi
