Project Alpha

 This game has been a great achievement and also the greatest pain.  I honestly think I would of been extremely lost without the youtube videos that I found to help me and also the unity tutorials. They have been a blessing. I wanted to give up some days I just couldn't seem to get the puzzles to assemble properly. I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. I went back over the tutorials and honestly gave up for a good two days. I think I spent 2 hours trying to figure out different ways to rectify it. Turns out it was a step I completely missed. Shows you that it's a good idea to take a short break from things and come back it gives you some perspective. 

I can imaging that gaming developers also have to do similar things. I can't imaging they get everything right the first time round. Obviously that's why it can take so long for games to come out. It has definitely been nice to see what it would be like. I remember there was an evening I had a nap and was literally having a dream about my game. I knew then I just needed to chill. I guess I've wanted to prove to myself I can do something if I put my mind to it. 

Like I said before I found some amazing tutorials and they gave also step by step ways in which to set up the game. It was exactly what I was looking for.

    Hey Melissa,
    Hope your keeping well, firstly I wanna say your blog is very well done I can tell that you have put a lot of effort into your game from your blog posts. I must say your blog posts are extremely easy to follow along. I am curious what music you will have in the background of your game. I like how you explain how your feeling though the process it's something I haven't seen many people do and I can definitely say I share some of your feelings to creating a game. I hope your making good progress in your game and I can't wait to see the finale product.

    Hey Mel, Your blog looks great (side note) back to the game. I agree I would be lost without the youtube and looking back on unity videos I'm getting very stressed over the game to haha. I also had the problem with the scripts and not knowing where I went wrong and then seeing that it is the smallest thing and felt like giving up a lot. Just wondering what your background is going to look like? Best of luck with the rest of your game I hope that it works out for you- Niamh

    Hi Mel, it's Aoibhe. Your blog looks fab. I really love the colours. From the looks of your game from the screenshots you provided your game looks really good. I'm the same I would have been lost without the tutorials. I think mistakes are just part of the process. Have you considered adding music to your game? I had never thought of using music until someone commented on my blog and I thought it would add to the feel of my game. I wish you my luck with completing your game and I look forward to seeing the final product. - Aoibhe

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

Game Vision Statement

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
