Alpha

 This week had setbacks.

Mainly this one...


Every time I tried to get into my game, this message would appear in my Unity Launcher saying that I had no active licence, which is just wrong. I have the free one, but when I tried to add the free one again, it just wouldn't work for me. I've spent nearly the whole week scouring chat rooms and F&Qs to try fix this issue, but as I write this article, I have been unsuccessful. 

That's not to say work on the game has come to a standstill, in fact, this week I made a basic character model for my guards and worked on the game soundtrack and recorded voice lines for the opening cut scene.

Here's my guard model, I think he's pretty adorable.

This week I was hoping to get my Alpha complete but unfortunately due to an unexpected tragedy in my family, Unity acting up and other responsibilities I'm not exactly where I want or need to be at the moment, at least I have the gameplay and level design nailed so it's mostly just aesthetic stuuf I need to sort out.

Hopefully I'll have a better update for you guys next week,

All the Best, Your Pal,

    Sup Mac! Looking through your blog and i just wanna say great work , it's impressive to see what you are able to come up with and it's gonna be even more impressive when the game is ready to go. I would love to see you continue on developing this game after this semester to see what you would be able to do. I feel like you could do great things in this module.

Project: Beta

  https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/we-are-in-the-endgame-now First things first I just wanna say, screw you Unity Hub, I had been trying to actually get to my game for the past week but as you guys may have seen in my last post, Unity Hub didn't want to admit that I had a licence to use it. So I uninstalled it and installed a newer version onto my laptop and boom, I'm back in business. First things first I spruced up the player character model by creating textures in unity and aplying them to a free Solid Snake asset I got off that website a few weeks back, heres the final result.   I know it's no Kratos in God of War 4 in terms of graphical quality but I was trying to go for a classic ps1 pixely aesthetic which I think translates pretty well into the final product. I also made a few textures for buildings and signs in illustrator and imported them into the game to make it a bit less Alpha and a lot more Beta. I also implemented a few voice lines that play at the start and en

Introduction to me

 Hey, Hows it going?  I'm Matthew, my friends call me Mac because I remind them of Mac from Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia and to be honest it kinda feels weird to be called anything else nowadays. I'm 22, doing Creative Digital Media in TU Dublin in Blanchardstown (duh) and I work in Cineworld in town. I play a few instruments and I'm in a band with a few of my mates from Secondary School, we did some gigs and we were doing pretty good until Covid started and we couldn't play live anymore but hey, its a hobby. At the start of Covid I started painting little space dudes for the craic but now I'm in severe debt from buying so much from the Warhammer shop that I've asked my girlfriend to punch me everytime I try go anywhere near it. My Favourite Movies are Jurassic Park, The Big Lebowski, The Lord of the Rings (all 3) and Army of Darkness. I like alot of music but I guess my favourite type of music would be rock music, I like bands like Ween, Rush and King Gizza

First Playable

  Screenshot of First playable version. To quote Jeff Goldblum in my absolute favourite film of all time, "You did it, You crazy Son of a B**** You did it".  Thats right, I have made a halfway decent stealth game. I've built up the game from my prototype, introducing a GameWin state and a GameLose state to the game, meaning the player now has a goal and things stopping him from reaching that goal.  This is the winning Message. This is the Game Over Screen. I replaced the cube with a Solid Snake character asset to show who the player is, this is only a placeholder for the moment. I found the asset on  this website if your interested, they provide some really cool free assets for games. There are now multiple Guards following diverse paths making sneaking past them a bit tricky. Buildings can be used to take cover behind. The White square at the top of the screen symbolises the cell where Rolands target is located so thats here the game ends at the moment. The boss fight m
