Reading 2: planning my approach

Hello, welcome back to my blog the two topics that I have chosen are design process also visual and audio elements which are from the chapter creating a user experience. To help with my research I wrote out a bunch of questions which would help with my research which were:

1)What is the design process of a game?
2)What is the process of a game?
3)How is the design process applied to a game?
4)What are the visual and audio elements in a game?
5)How are visual and audio elements applied to a game?

The two questions that I feel would work best with my research would have to be what is the design process of a game? and how are visual and audio elements applied to a game? I feel like my research questions complete the research question checklist and that it will make research a lot easier.

Keywords to help with my research:
  • Design
  • process
  • visuals
  • sound
  • audio
  • color
  • texture
  • lighting
  • testing
  • production
  • research
  • scale
  • elements
  • game design
  • user experience
  • interactivity 
I have also looked at some literature reviews based on these questions Audiovisual elementsGame design processgame design process I will definitely be looking into these articles a lot more in detail and will be looking for other articles that would help with my research. I will also be using the matrix method to keep all my research organised. 

I will also be using Google Scholar and game design journal to look at different articles that could help with my research I also will try using the TU Dublin library to look at books that might relate to my topics to also help with my research.

Anyway that is all the planning I have done so far and I am excited to research my topics, thanks talk soon.

Beta

Beta For my Beta of my game I added some dialogue and fixed up my terrain a little bit but for some reason when I play my game my cursor will not show up even though the dialogue is clickable which is strange but so far I think my game turned out well for a prototype I have struggled a little bit as I do not know much about games or c# script but I have a functional game so far in my game I have two characters, a pick up fruit object, main menu which needs a bit of fixing and dialogue and I have also put a lot of design into my game. I did not get everything I wanted in my game but I think my expectations were too high so I might have to change some things around for my game but overall I think everything worked out well other than some struggles with c# script. I am happy with how my prototype turned out and I now know what I can do to improve when I start my game. Main menu Main Menu clickable buttons. Terrain. Terrain. Terrain with character. Terrain...

Project

Project  After many trials and errors I have final got a somewhat working main menu for my game it will still not let me add images but luckily from one of the asset packages I downloaded there was a sprite that had a menu title on it which will do for now until I figure out how to add images to my main menu I tried adding a cube and tried adding a image to that but that did not work either but I am happy with what I got so far even though it did take a while to figure everything out because it would not let me add my script to the buttons on my menu for no reason at all because I had no errors in my script but I will get it working eventually. Anyway I am happy that I finally got a somewhat working menu done. main menu. buttons and main menu. trying to add cube to add image as background.

Unity tutorial 03

Unity tutorial 03 I have learned a lot from this unity tutorial I have learned how to create a clock from objects such as cubes and cylinders and how to position, scale and rotate them in the right positions which I found really helpful. I also learned how to create materials to add to the objects to add color and how to use a mesh collider component I also learned what is a child object and a parent object. The most important part of this tutorial would have to be the c# script it taught me how to get objects to move by using class and transform I found this very interesting but it was hard it did not work for me at first but I finally got it to work after a while I might not use anything I learned in this tutorial but it was good to learn new things about unity I might use some of the information I learned from the tutorial about c# script in my game. I am looking forward to start creating my game and all the information I have learned so far in unity and making my game look as goo...
