Beta

This week I started working on adding the finishing touches and just polishing my game up. Just as I thought I was done I realised when the game over and winner scenes load up you can't actually control them. The thing is when I loaded them from their own scene without going into the game scene they worked perfect but when the game loaded up it activated something I had in my player controller script and what this was, was that the mouse cursor gets turned off. This took me so long to figure out what was wrong, I was researching for hours online and finally I found out the problem. So basically I had to turn the mouse cursor on in the game so now when your playing the mouse is visible. When I figured out the problem I tried to just turn the mouse cursor on in the selected scenes but I couldn't manage it, I wasn't to annoyed about it because to be honest I was just happy I got them scenes controllable. 

Anyways my game in now complete and I am really happy with the outcome, this was really fun project and I can't wait for semester two. 

Some progress of adding finishing touches:

    Hi Nathan! Your game is looking very well done and I hope I get a chance to play it sometime. It is unfortunate that there was one thing not working when you thought you had the game done and the fact you spent hours researching on how to fix the issue too. Maybe having the mouse visible at all times is a good thing as the player can see where the mouse is and where they are looking. If you have spare time maybe having a look some more and hopefully there is a way to fix it. Good luck with it bro :)

    Hi Nathan, Your game looks like its coming along really well and the level design is really cool, has an eery vibe too it. There's nothing worse than running into problems like that, it happened on my game too and it was a pain to fix so fair play to you on getting it working! Looking forward to seeing the video for your game i think it will be really cool!

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

Game Design Document

My GDD took me a while to complete as I knew what I was putting in there really was important information and I wanted to take my time with it to do it to the best of my abilities.  My game is a horror / scary game named "House 666" and this GDD covers everything you would need to know to go on and create the game. ( Link to my GDD ) Image - Scary Game GIF I used Dundoc to create my GDD and I found it really useful, once you spend a few minutes on it you realise how simple it is to use.  There was some small pieces I left out as I wasn't to sure on them at the moment and I also may add some sketches and screenshots time goes bye.
