So we are nearly at the end and I am so happy already seeing my game come together. This week was the week I needed to add the little details to add to the experience of the game, this included:

  • Adding a Main Menu to my game.
  • I added a button on the players screen so they can pause, or restart the game etc.
  • I then enlarged the button icons after building and running my game as they were smaller then I imagined. 
  • I tested out different textures on my ball and finally decided on the chosen skin.
  • I added a few more gems to the game.
  • I made sure you could trace your steps back easily incase you missed a gem and you don't want to restart all over again.

Am I finding anything difficult before I am fully completed the game?

No! ahahahahah weird hearing that now... This journey was actually fairly smooth sailing for me. Of course some weeks were harder than others but I have not faced a big problem at all!

    hey Linda ,
    wow your game looks really good, i really like the world you have created for it . the beach sort of look with the sand and the blue waves looks really good. I like the idea of adding in the gems as it gives the player an objective which is very important to a game. You defiantly made he right choice on the new skin you choose for the ball, the new blue and purple colors suit your game style much better .i also had the issue with the restart buttons being to small as it can be hard to get it right in the little preview screen in unity. looking forward to seeing your final game and playing it!

    Hey, Linda your game looks amazing, I really like your choice of colors for the game, it makes it eye-catching and intriguing. I also like the layout of the game; I think the layout is one of the elements that makes the game look fun. I can’t imagine the frustration you went through when making this game and I’m glad I never had too haha overall, I really like you game and look forward to playing it.

    Hey Linda,

    Wow, this game really looks awesome! Fair play for getting this far and achieving what you have. The graphics look really polished and the way you have you global lighting positioned makes the assets really stand out. You're definitely in the minority not having many issues, I wish I could say the same about my experience hahaha. But really, I'm so impressed with some of the projects this semester but yours really stands out! Congrats!

    Hi Linda
    The progress you have made on your game is simply amazing. This Semester has been tough but you have thrived. The work you have done on your game in incredible. The aesthetic look of your game is incredible.

    Also just looking at all those scripts is making my head sore 😅

    I love the way you have organised the changes you have made in your blog by the way, makes them very easy to read.

    I hope you have a fantastic break and have some well deserved down time

    In a turn of luck you are receiving my last comment for semester 1 so I regret to announce — This is The End. I am going now. I bid you all a very fond farewell. Goodbye.

    Hey Linda
    your game is looking really good, the world itself that you made looks really interesting and the skin that you pick for the ball suits it really well as well. I wish that my game went as smooth as it did for you while you were making it hahaha. Cant wait to play it and see what its like

 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! 💥

  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

 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
