Here you can see how far I am into the Stealth game tutorial. John Lemon is the character you play as and so far I’ve been able to animate him and write a special script for his movement. I’ve also loaded in this cool environment that comes with the tutorial. 

The purpose of my script was to specify which character animation was for standing in place and which was for walking. In this video you can see John Lemon’s unique motions as he stalks the halls of this seemingly haunted house. With this script I was also able to instruct the game to move with the arrow keys.

I’ve written a full script!

I found an amazing game tutorial on Unity Learn’s website. Not only did this tutorial go over confusing coding terms like float or bool, but I now know how to animate a character asset. 

John Lemon’s haunted jaunt is a beginner 3D tutorial for Unity and I think it’ll really come in handy for what I’m planning for my game. This is a stealth game so I hope to utilize some of what I’m learning for my original horror game.

Working on my forest maze with Unity’s Terrain Tools!

This was very fun for me since there was no coding involved. Using the terrain tools I was able to fill my area with dense trees and elevated terrain. I was also able to create a pond with moving water.

Mapping out where I want things to go. Very rough right?

A childish drawing I made for a level design. I like to jot down ideas without thinking about them too much. My best ideas only come after poor ideas. 

I know I want an in-game maze and a puzzle. I also know I want a horror theme. We’ll see what comes next!

First Unity project complete! 

After many hours of trial and error, I managed to make my first game. Using the Roll-a-ball tutorial on the Unity learning website, I was able to create an environment where I could create a “player” to move around and collect items. This was my first time coding and I have never experienced so much frustration. Unfortunately I didn’t immediately get my scripts right the first time around but I can now say I have a working game!

Favorites

Some of my favorite games! My favorite games are definitely role playing games, I love building a character with skills and customization. 

I also really enjoy horror overall, I love horror movies and stories. Being scared is so fun for me. 

I grew up playing arcade fighting games so I also threw that in. I kick butt in Street Fighter 2. ⋆ටᆼට⋆

Intro to Gaming

Hey guys,

This blog will primarily be in conjunction with a game design class. I love PC gaming and have been looking forward to taking a game design class for a number of years. I enjoy Role Playing Games, First person shooters and Animal Crossing to pass the time.

What I’m looking to gain from Intro to Game Design is mostly learning the basics of Unity, some coding and new exciting ways to make my concept art come to life. Like many of my classmates, I am passionate about illustrating environmental concepts and creating creature/character design. As an illustration major, I’d like to use the skills I’ve gained to bring my designs to life.

Here is where I spend all my time gaming! I’d like to upgrade the aesthetics of my gaming rig.
