So in my Game/Project I have made a staging area for me to set up any so I can run scenarios and other tasks. An example would be I created some steps which my player would need to jump to get over them so as I coded the ability to jump on my player it was able go up the stairs, such scenarios is why I made this area. Overall I have given my player the ability to jump, move in any direction without changing keys, what I mean by this is that I locked up how to make it so that when the camera follows the player it turns when the mouse/trackpad is moved from left and right and the player turns so that the camera always shows the players back. I also made it so that the camera has a cut of limit so that it can't pass a certain point on the Y-axis.

Currently I am working on moving my characters limbs so when he moves it looks like he is walking, however it is talking longer than expected as I need to move each of the assets limbs individually, so I would have to move the upper arm to a specific point, them move the forearm as well, repeat this process so that it looks like the arm is moving from walking and then do the same thing again for the other arm, then I have to do the legs. So that is where I currently am, although I have an idea of what I want the background to look like so that's good, as well as that I know how to make a ball shoot out of the character and how to limit the character from moving too far left to right. So overall I feel that I'm on track for my project and hopefully it will end the way I want it.

    Hi Killien
    I tried using the vary same character when I first tried but I could not mange to get the animations to work so I'm stuck using a simple shape but when I downloaded that player it came with pre made animations for walking, running and jumping but I just could not get them to work but maybe you could

    Hi Killian! From what I have read about your game project, it seems pretty tricky and it must probably took you a while to finish coding the movement of your player because you had to coded each of them. It also looks like you are going on the right direction for your game as you didn't encounter to much problems. I hope that you've enjoyed this module and I wish you good luck in finishing this semester!

  My favourite module from last semester was web development 2. I liked this module as it was interesting and allowed me to be as creative as I wished., it let me design a website to explain social media tools for someone only learning to use them in a way I felt let me fully express myself and use the skills that I had learned to make such a website as easy as possible to understand. My biggest accomplishment last semester was making a movie using drawings to set the scenes and having myself talk over it. I felt that this was my biggest accomplishment as I didn't have access to the college to acquire equipment or could talk face to face with my lecturer if I got stuck. I just had to keep going with what I thought was the right thing to do and eventually I got rewarded with my work. In my spare time I like to play hurling for me local GAA team, I've recently joined back after a few years of not playing so I am a little bit stiff and rusted at it. I have also started doing muay

Game Idea Research

 After thinking carefully about the choice, I have decided to choose to make a 3D platformer game. I ended up deciding to make a 3D platformer as I believed that it would be the most fun, but also the easiest for me to make as I've never made a game before and I don't want to start off with something big like an RPG that'll be to0 time consuming, also I have plenty of examples of great platformers that I can get inspiration from. In my game I plan to include specific game mechanics, which I feel are good to be in this game. My first game mechanic to include will be the ability to double jump. Most games in today's world include the ability for the character to be able to jump and then jump again while in mid-air, this has become an almost vital game mechanic as it allows players to reach areas that may seem out of reach. The double jump ability has become a staple of modern gaming, as it appears more now than maybe in the early 2000's. Another game mechanic that I w

Game Brainstorm

 For my brainstorming I thought back to when I was younger and played games on websites on sites like Kongregate or Miniclips , these games where very fun but also where never extremely complicated looking, usually where kept very simple. My first game idea is that of a game similar to the I mpossible game . The Impossible game was a 2D game where the player controlled a block and had the action to either jump over the obstacles of choose not  to jump as it may cause you to die if you do so. The game is renowned for being difficult (as the name tells us) and this factor will benefit me as if the game is very difficult and I am able to  imitate the difficulty, I then won't require a lot of levels in the game as if people can't get past the levels there would be no point in having loads of  levels. Now as you can see from the picture of the Impossible game, that it appears to be 2D, I however will make my game in a 3D format, so using my experience from my unity lessons, I thin
