Unity Tutorial 01

I just completed my first set of Unity tutorials and it was something I was looking forward to doing and excited for.   

When I opened Unity initially it looked very confusing and hard to use, as you start to follow the tutorials you start to understand how it works and that it’s not as confusing as it looks.

To be honest I didn’t find any of the tutorials to complicated yet, some things just take a minute or two to figure out but apart from that it was fine. The only thing I did have a problem with was when creating the project at the start I tried to locate it onto my external hard drive instead of my desktop, just because I store most things onto that to save space but for some reason it kept giving me an error and the program wouldn’t open so when I searched it up online it said external hard drives can cause that problem that I’ll just have to save it to my desktop which was relief that it wasn’t something more complicated. 

 

My experience using Unity for the first time overall was enjoyable and interesting and I can’t wait to use it again.

    Hi Nathan! This is a really good blog I just read. You explained your feelings towards the exercises and the problems you had with the software and how you resolved it very well. It is also very good that you enjoyed the experience of the tutorials and look forward to working more on the software :)

Introduction to Nathan's world

Welcome to my introduction blog, I hope after you read this you will get to know me a little better and I hope you enjoy!   So, my name is Nathan, I’m from Clondalkin in Dublin and I’m 20 years old but most people call me Gino it’s a nickname that stuck with me years ago and people have called me it ever since and to be honest I weirdly started to like it and I’m more used to it then my own name now.    Back in 2018 I finished school and from there I went on and did a PLC in Stillorgan College studying Event Management and Digital Marketing quickly enough when I was in the course I started to realize I liked the creative side of things a lot more than anything else for example creating posters and leaflets for events. After I discovered this, I started to research a bit into what I wanted to do after the PLC and luckily enough I found this course and as soon as I seen it, I knew it was for me. After I went to the open day I was really excited and hoping I would get accepted for the cou

Game Idea Research

Choosing my game So, the game idea I’m going to be working on for the rest of the semester is my scary game and I’m going to name it “house666”. The reason I’ve chosen the scary game is because I think it’s different and it will be really fun to make and hopefully not too difficult. The name I’ve chosen simply came to me because the game is going to be based in a house and the devil’s numbers are 666, so as soon as you see 666 you know what you’re in for.  Image - Creepy House Brief description of the game I have discussed this in my first game brainstorm but I have changed my mind a little so, firstly the game will be based in a house and your overall objective is to get out of the house of course it won’t be that simple so you’ve to complete some objectives and get out. Last time I wrote about this is I talked about being chased around the house by a character and if your caught you lose well that has changed a little as I realized that be may be fairly difficult so what I’m going to
