Project

 This week I ended up finishing the limb movement of my project, this took a lot longer than I originally  expected as I needed to record each individual limb movement and then once that was done, adjust each part so that the limbs would move symmetrical to the opposite limb. After completing that, I focused my attention on making a useable item. I did this by first importing my chosen item (a Hurley) from blender, I then scaled and and positioned the item proportionally so that it looked natural. After that I put in the code so that it would appear in the characters hand when the pickup was activated. Then I put in the code so that the hurl would be swung like a sword or weapon. So now I had a weapon item, but I wanted to include one more thing before I went on to my next task. I wanted to include a way to shot balls (sliotars) while I was holding the hurl. So I went back to a previous unity tutorial where balls shoot out from a character and thought about how I could alter it, while using the code for my own project as I didn't like the way the balls where shot in the tutorial. After this I felt I should spend some time on the surrounding landscape so my game was no longer as empty looking, for this I imported assets of trees and bushes from the asset store and placed them into the desirable locations, I then made a limit as to how far my character could go left and right so that he never passed through the trees and such. This is where I stopped as I'm coming to an end of my project, I've thought about how I may need to alter the environment, such as include varying heights for the ground and maybe some gaps that need to  be jumped over.

Hurley to be used in my project.

    Hi Killian! Looking at your introduction I'm very happy that you're trying to implement something that you've done in real life into your game. It makes the whole experience more fun if you're putting in something you love into another thing. I'm really happy that you've come so far in your project and you made the hurley yourself that's a big accomplishment! Anyway best of luck with your game. - Anna Zurawska

Introduction Post

  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
