My First Game Brainstorm.

Hi Guys,

Welcome back to my blog, in today's blog post I will be telling you guys about my ideas for my video game. When I think about making a game I think it needs to be a game that everyone will enjoy. After having a look around the internet I know have a good idea of what my four possible games could be.

Game 1: For my first game I would like it to be similar to The Sims 4. The Sim was first released back in 2000. It has many different versions of the game which has made this game the "best selling video game series of all time".https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sims . I have always like the idea of being able to build your own imaginary life on a video game, from personalizing your characters, to building your own houses/business, to earning money, to having relationships/friendships within this video world. I would like my game to be the type that people would loose hours having fun. 

When I was younger the only thing all my friends ever did was play Sims, it was the must have game and everyone was obsessed. Thinking back on it now I probably spent way to much time stuck to the computer screen but if I was to make a game like this I would expect people to be the same.
 After looking at different tutorials by Jimmy Vegas it looks like it could be easy enough to do which is very exciting as I do think making something similar to the Sim is number one on my list of games. 


Game 2: For my second game I have been doing research about Animal Crossing. Animal Crossing first came into every child's life in 2012. As you have probably read my "Favorite game" blog you'll know when I was younger I had a Nintendo DS. That Nintendo was the best thing I ever owned as like my mum would say "it was always glued to your hands!" 

One Christmas I got Animal Crossing as a present from my parents. Straight away I was hooked! I loved everything about it. Again if I was to make a game to be played on Nintendo I would do something similar. It would include animal as who doesn't love a game that features animals. I would change somethings (obviously). What I would change is that we could follow a trail to collect money, find gems that you can trade in to receive gifts and have challenges each day to do to be able to move up levels. 
Again the same as the Sims by using Unity and the help of Jimmy Vegas it should be easy enough to build a video game like Animal Crossing. 


Game 3: My idea of heaven when I'm bored or procrastinating from college work (sorry) is to play games on my phone. My go to game is Candy Crush. I could loose hours if I'm not careful. I would like to make a game that would users could play on their phone/ipad. Something to get players excited to pass a level to keep moving forward and having to solve the problems to pass. 

I would like to come up with a game that has many different levels, challenges each day for players to do to win money, gems, extra lives etc. It could also be a game that they could create the levels and other people have to complete them.

Game 4: My final game idea would be a high paced game, examples of this would be Cooking MamaSuper Mario BrosCrash Bandicoot.
Something that gets players excited to pass each level. It would include a small personalized character that the player has made to suit themselves, it would have obstacles that they would have to do to ensure that they pass the level. Again with the help of  Unity it would be easy enough to make. 

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog.

Introduction to me being me!

I never know how to write about myself. I always feel so embarrassed and I don't know why😅 Like last year when Margret asked us to do a video about ourselves, I wanted to cry as I never know what to say about myself without sounding big headed! So here comes the cringe fest.... My name is Elizabeth, I am 23 years old and I was born and bred in Maynooth. It is a nice a place but now its just full of college students who are taking over (I know i'm a college student but these people are from the country you know)😂.           I still live at home with my mum and recently my boyfriend Dan has moved in with us as well. I have a sister Meaghan who is getting married next year to her fiancee Lesley. In the last couple of years we have also gotten in contact with my half sister, so our family just keeps on growing which is great.  We are a very close family and I wouldn't have it any other way. I am very lucky to have such amazing people to be there for me when ever I need

Game Design Document

Hi Guys, Welcome back to my blog, today I will be talking about my game design document. I use Dunroc to build a basic document which you can view  here . For my Game Design Document I am going to focus on the important parts of the game. First one is Story. The story behind the game is the most important part as you can't have a game without a story line. My story is about the player, they can create their own character and build their city to what ever way they want too. They have to do certain tasks everyday to earn money to buy things. My game will be a single player game. The aim of the game is to gain experience, unlock different levels and build an empire.  Second one is Characters . The player can have multiple characters if they would like, its all up to them. They can design what the character is going to look like too from their clothing to body type to hair style. Everything! I want the player to have fun creating there own world. Each character will ha

Beta.... Well not really!

Hey Guys, Welcome back to my blog, It's been a long week, thank god we only have one more week left!  So all week I have been working on my game, unfortunately I got the code working but I have way to many errors popping up which means it wont make my character move! My coins are working, my wind-zone is working and so is my sky-box but the most important bloody part wont! I have created so many different character and entered the code which is needed for each of them and none of them will work!  I also think one of my problems is that my world is too large with to many different effects going on through out it. I know what your going to say... "delete some of it" but that is not an option as I lost my first game and had to start it all over again so honestly I am petrified to touch it and delete things I don't really need.  (screenshot from my own unity)  (screenshot of my own unity) (screenshot of my own unity) As you can see from
