Creativity & Other Lies

Snow Boarder assignment. Added some random torque all the time to force the players to balance, otherwise, just letting go of the controllers take you to the end :D Use the arrow keys to control. Fwd and Back for balance, up and down for speed while on ground. Anyways, another quick assignment. The thing I am struggling with is that even though the assignments are quick and simple, every now and again, they will share a technique or a method that I was not aware of and can have many possible uses afterwards in other places. So if I skip the easy sections, I miss out on those concepts. But I don't want to, hence I'm sticking to the flow of the course.

Another minimum effort class project. This one made use of the unity tilemap and smart tiles. And I didn't want to delve into creating new mechanics at this point because that would slow down the learning process. I want to go through more iterations before I can focus on one solid idea and give it its due time, but only after I have sufficient knowledgebase. That is why the broken experimental stuff is on hold... Hope to get it back online soon.

Practice Practice Practice. And this, I think is the most standard practice path for new game devs. Here's an infinite "Bullet Hell"... Enjoy! And other game designs are still in the works. Dont you worry :)

Here we are. the result of following the tutorial and adding an additional "moving block" functionality that wasn't in the course.  I think I learned quite a bit making this. Here's to hoping that building a second game with same theme but previously discussed ideas in " A Slice of Time " post will solidify and expand on my currently extremely rudimentary understanding of C# and Unity. Issue remains the same, that I do not have enough programming vocabulary to execute what I am planning. I guess vocabulary comes with experience alone. First version of Slice of Time may add to it... In any case, have fun beating the 8 levels of this very very simple game (btw, the fun begins at level 4, first 3 are mostly tutorial). P.S. If anyone knows how to fix the iframe to match the WebGL resolution in blogger, let me know :) Regards,

Ookayyy, so here it is, the first "game" I ever "publish". Yeah, too many air quotes means too much sarcasm being targeted at myself. Because true as this might be; that this is a game, and I did publish it on the internet, this is not something I would take to the market. But this was a requirement of the course and here I am, doing it. I think it stays hosted up there (on gamedev.net) for a month, and then I'll have to find some other way to host it. Maybe blogger provides an option to host a Webgl game. I don't know. If any of you know, teach me how... So, I took away many of the systems I planned for it, because this was supposed to be a quick exercise gig and the longer I stayed with this, the longer I was away from the meat of the course. So whatever I could figure out quickly, I left in and off with the rest. Didn't spend much time on visuals either. Same reason. And last, but most importantly, although the systems are working, balance-wise, it i...
