 Prototype From working on my game document and from looking at the comments from my blog on previous posts from I worked on some things and found a clear path to my full game having seen some aspects of my game that I could work and by looking over my game design document I found elements that could be changed and believe now that after this week that I can finally work on my game and finally make a start and get my ideas finally on screen and begin.  From working on my game some elements that I'm finding difficult and need working on is that of looking back over the Unity videos that I watched like Unity 1.1 for example which I took a lot of inspiration from. In these videos it talks about at how to get the basics and from rewatching these videos I was unsure exactly on how to start as with them i'm given the files to work with while with mine I'm starting from scratch and need to have my own graphics which I was unsure on where to get them from.  My Own Image Unity Tut...

 Unity Tutorial 06 While working on Unity Tutorial 06 I could not seem to open the animation previews at the start or through as I got yellow warnings from it though the other parts of unity worked itself and worked fine. Like the start I found it quite cool at how you could change the speed of your character and put it into a running speed and it worked quite well and enjoyed working on it.

It talks of how complex apps can be while with games you can lose a certain feature and it makes it a-lot simpler task at hand that must be complete and you find it easy to understand and can achieve it. This made me think a lot about myself playing games and using apps as when I played games I enjoy it and although it may frustrate me at times I learn and keep on playing while with apps I see that it not only takes a long time but you've to follow a boring video and for example photoshop in particular if your using that and its not working it'll takes ages for you to learn as your constantly getting frustrated at it.  Learned Skills In A Game While re...
