Learning Challenge The Happiness Jar Part 1

 

design by me

This week was rough, I lost a family member who was very dear to me and I couln't attend the funeral as I was unfortunately working so I couldn't make the trip up north on such short notice. 

As such, I was feeling pretty down in the dumps, however, work was actually pretty ok as I actually made some new friends, we laughed about and pulled a few pranks on each other, it made me feel pretty happy and made the pain I was going through husrt a little less.

Hopefully by next week I can do something nice for them to let them know I appreciate getting to hang out with them.

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
