Week 8 Comments and Feedback

Reflecting on the feedback!

Feedback in: 
I must admit, I am surprised by the quality of the feedback and comments that I got on my blog. I think most people won't really try, but I was wrong. I got a lot of very positive feedback and they are nice to read.

Feedback out: 
When I comment, especially on game ideas, I try to give somehow constructive criticism and give the students some ideas that they can implement or maybe expand on. I try not to sugarcoat anything, because I know it won't be too helpful. There are times though, when I have hard time trying to find someone to comment on, as the randomizer gives me people who aren't doing their blog or those who have 10+ comments already. 

Blog Comments: 
I don't feel that blog is a space where I connect with people, but I did learn some things about others from their introduction posts.

Looking Forward: 
In a lot of cases, the feedback is forced, which isn't a good thing, so I would probably change it so that there is only either feedback homework or comment homework each week, instead of both.

Unity Free Tutorials

For this week. I got a chance to pick my own tutorials which was kinda fun. At least I got to look for something that will be useful for my game. At first I thought to follow the tutorial series by Jimmy Vegas because things mentioned there are pretty useful - like the particle system which is so versatile and vast, but instead, I decided to go with some of his other tutorials. I been thinking for a long, long time how can I include a minimap that would be displayed in the corner of my screen? It turned into a bit of my nightmare, because I wasn't able to find a lot of information on google and even if I did, it was confusing... so this tutorial helped me greatly. And, there is no coding which is even better for me, because it tends to confuse me. Source This video goes through npcs and textboxes which, again, will be something I will use a lot in my game... Once I somehow get the npc's in.  The tutorial starts off with downloading the NPC from the Asset Stor...

The following video is my presentation which talks about my idea for the project and the story for the interactive story. I think it includes everything that it was meant to be included and if not, I can always add in more.

Unity Tutorial 03 - The Clock

This tutorial was surely far more challenging than Jimmy Vegas' tutorials. I apparently made mistakes in the code, even when I copied it word for word, after my third attempt didn't work. As I constantly got an error on "const", I decided to download the code that came together with the unitypackage provided with the tutorial. The difference in my code and the one provided is visible, but I never through indention would make a difference to the code. Screenshot of the code - left is downloaded from the website, right written by me. Overall, I did manage to make the clock, even though I struggled with the code, and didn't quite get it right. I will try to work a little bit more on the actual understanding what each line means - I really dislike copying material without knowing what each part does.
