  Alpha 1 - This is my first published game. I am happy to have something posted to Itch.io but I must say, it was complicated. I dont really want to persue anything

  • What’s working and what I am finding difficult -
    
  Designing and creating the world is fun and works great. But it comes to coding, that is the part I hate. Coding isn't really for me. Just when I think I have the hang of it, something goes wrong and I cannot seem to fix it. For example: When using Unity and building a flying game inside a bedroom. I made an attempt to make my plane fly or crash when it hit something but whenever I tried to change the parameters, the whole scene would  just fall through the floor as if they fell off the table. 
• I have since improved but I would never pursue a carrer in this field.  Below is one of the firs screen shorts from a city built car game I was working on. I had trouble getting the car to hit obstacles and for people to move around

    I had to change quite a few things, like the car I was using and some of the code wasn't working so I had to get rid of it. Otherwise I have been pretty excited about doing this and will see how well I get on and wether or not It will work out to the standard I want it to.
     
    How meeting my targets set in my plan:
    This was a bit of a confusing part for me because I didn't really have targets to use. I wasnt even sure what kind of game I wanted. I know I wanted a 2D platformer game / sidescrolling game to start off with, but since that was off the table the 3 d game was the only thing left and I had no idea how or what I would do. 
    When starting this, like I said previously, I wanted to do a standard flying game where you fly through hoops. As each day passed by and I was busy in work or busy trying to do other modules that I felt they would take priority over this and quickly learned how wrong I was. 
    I ran into so much trouble and errors while trying to code. The lessons within Unity were terrible in my opinion. I found them annoying, too slow or too fast and just not straight to the point. I discovered that branching off and looking for my own tutorials helped me so much more.
