What a journey it has been so far... For my game, I knew once I got to grips with the player controllers it was then going to be the start of my designing for my game. In my head I wanted to use light colours for my game and that is exactly what I did. I chose sand colours and light blue colours to add  an element of ease to it. After I completed my tutorial "Roll a Ball" on Unity, I started looking up more YouTube videos to see what else I could add to the basics of my game. I have added sounds to when you pick up gems, I have added a gem counter in the top left corner and I have added a "You Win" icon when you collect all the gems. I will hopefully find a soothing backing track soon for the next steps.

Here is a quick screenshot of my game, so far... As you can see I have added a series of paths and created one large puzzle piece! Some paths have gems, while others have hard obstacles you have to try and overcome. I want to  also add smaller little details to some of the areas to give it a more appealing look. In the coming days I want to look at adding a 'pause' option to my game.

(Please excuse my gems being messy in this screenshot!) This screenshot show you a example of some details I have added, a fence and a wooden footpath to bring my game a little character.
I would be lying if I said this has been an easy journey so far. I found that it was very hard to know where to begin but after finding tutorials that gave me inspiration on how to start, I was on a roll...😁

I am looking forward to adding the next few touches to my game! I am so proud of myself for coming this far, I never imagined myself being able to build my own game and I have proved to myself that I am well able to learn new skills when I put my head down.

Looking forward to showing everyone the next progress of my game.

    Hey Linda, WOW ! I love this !! This looks unreal and I am totally amazed. The progress of this game is unreal and you definately should be proud with all of the work you put into this. This already looks like an amazing game and I cant wait to play it !! Where did you get all the assets and was it hard to import them into the game? The Youtube tutorials are great I know from my own experience, yet some of them are very difficult sometimes and I am like "wait what ?? " half of the time but still its great I guess.😁 I cant wait to see your game progress and I was wondering where could I find a good tutorial for a counter that you have ? Maybe you could suggest something good, Thanks :) Great blog post and so far it looks amazing.

    Wow Linda, this is looking so good! I can't wait to play it. I see you added a counter into your game. I am looking to do the same so I will be having a look at that tutorial and hopefully it helps me. It seems like youre absolutely flying at creating the game. Will it just be this level or will you be putting more then one in it? When all the gems are collected will the level restart? This looks so cool I cant wait to see finished. Kev

  Alpha For this week, I wanted to add a few more bits to my game, the first thing I did this week, was I wanted to have a moving cube that went up and down as part of my course but I found the tutorials I came across very very long and I didn't want to spend that much time to only add one moving step into my game... I may find a few 'roll a ball' games on the app store to get inspiration for other obstacles and stuff to add instead. The next thing I did in my game was that I added background music. I am debating whether or not to add the music I selected to a menu screen instead of play mode as it could cause some people  to get distracted. I may replace or swap it out with a very quiet nature sound, like of the wind or something... screenshot I have since got rid of this layout above. But will keep to the theme of having a water feature etc. screenshot screenshot I think I'm meeting my weekly topics when it comes to my game and hope to start finishing the entire thing

 Introduction to...ME! what were your biggest accomplishments last semester? - My biggest accomplishment from last year was that how I got through my first year of college from just sitting in my bedroom. Looking forward to being on campus for the years to follow.😁💜 Did I travel over the break? - Yes. I went to Croatia to a music festival called "Dimensions" it was amazing. Listening to music in a crowd was something I really missed. Photo taken at Dimensions festival 2015, by Free Rubens. Source:  Limonadier .   Favourite music? - I wouldn't have one particular person/genre of music I like the most, I enjoy listening to techno and rap. Peggy Gou, MGK, Jaden are just three of my long list of artists I like...  Photo of Jaden Smith, source:  Shutterstock . Hobbies? - My hobbies would include hanging out with my friends, going out. I love messing around in Adobe Illustrator in my spare time to create funky graphics! 💥

 Four Possible Game Ideas. Game 1: For my first idea for a game it would be a ball balancing game. You have a starting point and have to make your way to the end without falling off. Each level would get more difficult when you level up. I think this idea would be not only really fun to make but it is simple yet exciting. I would make it visually pleasing the eye and have coolest details included as it could be a simple game to possible build so I could have more time in designing the objects and what the player sees on screen. It is the sort of game that has you biting your lip as it makes you want to complete each level to get further. I think this would be a game for all ages that would be effective. I have taken inspiration for this idea from the simple board game I use to play as a child. The game at a closer look can be found here: Click me .   It would be 3D style path and you can choose your ball of choice, or even unlock more types of balls (if I can make possible) . Using you
