Project Progress: Alpha wk 11

Week 23

Alpha

This week for my project is all about refining things for my game, some things that I want to work on is the text and facts that the user will come accross. There are some things that are displayed wrong in my opinion with the text fields, On these text boxes i have a transparent glass behind the glass to make it easier to differentiate between the sky box and the text. This works really well but when I finished all the text boxes I realised that the text overflows the transparent panel 


I also added a slight tilt on the panel to make it easier for the viewer to see the information on the panel for better UI, I didn't want the infromation to be directly vertical and beside the planet because this would make it harder for the player to read, this would mean that i'd have to make the panel larger to see making the scene more cluttered, so i thought it better to have it smaller and more consise as a small table infront of the user. 
Something that inspired me with this design was the museums with screans of information built in on the table, some other museums utilise ipads to make for more portible and modern, I think with my way of doing it looks modern and practicle at the same time.


In the making of these information panels i started with making the transparent panel first then added two text mesh pro boxes, one for the title and one for the info text. Once these were added i tilted the panel so it would be a comfortable viewing angle for users.
Something that I do want to add in the next couple days before submission would be finishing it off with some music to suit the theme of exploration.
I also want to push for finding an answer for the textures loading last minute too but if that wont work the players will have to rely on the power of imagination.

 Week 02 Introduction To Adam Elder Hi, my name is Adam Elder, I am nineteen years old and I am part of CDM at TUD Blanchardstown.  I love to play sports, video games, watch movies, and make new friends I also love to listen to music.  I have a family that is all into taekwondo and all of us do it. I've been doing it since I was 11. Being a part of RiverValley Taekwondo has made me the person I am today. That club has taught me so much about how I treat and interact with people and has made me disciplined in the things I do outside taekwondo as well. the people who have coached me and the people I trained with have been almost like family and when we do competitions we cheer and support each other like one. This image was taken outside the stadium in Inzel Germany for the World Championships in 2019 Where I represented Ireland the atmosphere was amazing and the supporters made the st

 Week 09 Project Alpha It is coming up to the final weeks of the project and I have to say that I am making decent progress, this week I mainly tied up some loose ends with my game such as making the enemies this week spawn randomly others would be: Giving grid boundaries so that the enemies spawn within the play area. Making Box Colliders to each the enemies as well as the player character and the fireballs. Arranging the dragon and fireball prefabs in my game. Creating random spawn generation for the dragon enemies. Box Colliders This was really confusing for me throughout this week's work because I couldn't find why they weren't showing and then I found out that I didn't have the button "Box Editor" selected, I wasted so much time trying to find out what was wrong with it. When they were showing up they weren't following the player, but again I was looking at the one in the hierarchy but the prefab one was. I added a destroy-on collision rule so that wh

Game Brainstorm

 Week 03 Game Brainstorm There has been a couple of ideas I thought of since the start of this module but here are the four that I think are most reasonable.  Bartendar Simulator: This was my first idea, the plan was to make a game where you would pour drinks at the bar and control the pressure and the tilt, then you serve them to the customers, depending on how well it is done you will get a good score. It would start with you getting a request from the customer with a certain drink or service, then you go and pick the glass up, bring it to the tap and start pouring the drink for the customer, in this process you'll have to make adjustments to the pressure using the valve, tilting the glass and judging the distance the glass is to the nozzle and the tilt on the glass, after that you'll have your character pick up the glass and bring it over to the other side of the bar and place it down beside the customer, here is where the customer could complain about not having enough head
