We chilling now Link- https://tumblrgallery.xyz/post/4225637.html   My Beta is complete, it has a start, and an ending, it features no bugs as I or my testers are aware of right now, and it plays as intended, it's actually quite fun to play if I do say so myself, every now and then I find myself just moving around for the fun of it. The final game features: A player who must race to the end of an obstacle course were they are timed for best times. They must avoid obstacles and falling off the stages. The player is a small pink rubber, they also have the abilities to jump, wall run, wall jump and of course move around. they can also stick to a wall forever if they hold the right direction, although that's less useful than it sounds, after all the name of the game is speed. The player can run jump and climb many obstacles in the level, at minimum they are presented with 3 different paths, which converge for the ending, however with a little creativity there's technically more...

 Not going to lie... all I did this week is learn how to add a counter to my game so the only unity tutorial I learned of was one where you do just that, it is below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLz_k6DSQvU Funny thing? It never even worked so my game is complete anyways :) Other than that the game is complete, if your thinking "wow this student hasn't put much effort into learning Unity Tutorials this week" please I ask you to look at my last Unity Tutorial post, I believe I have made up for it.

I say that but its really because my game was made over the course of one week between doing other modules, so I tested every new ability i added as I went and I allowed my siblings to test every now and then when it was at the 25% mark, 50% mark, 75% mark and 100% mark. For big complex games testing should have happened a lot, usually games have their own testing analysis team, but for a small game like mine i tested it just enough to be useful. I used this to make sure there was no feature players could exploit, for example when I incorporated the wall jump, my brother discovered if you spammed the jump butt...

 Okay so this is like the one week we don't have to write a project blog but this is also the week I came back from holidays and basically did a weeks worth of work until 5 in the morning so uh, just recap on what is now in my game: The jump mechanic is now fixed The movement has been completely reworked to be more fun and easier to control The camera has changed slightly to now follow the player but not follow the player up behind them in inclines The Test Level has been expanded, been given longer walls to run on as well as a few other changes There is now a functional death barrier that respawns the player at a respawn point There is now a skybox The player can now wall run and to an extent wall jump The Player no longer clips through solid objects and the few times the player does, it does not result in instant death The player no longer fly's through the sky like a paper airplane if the forward key is held The player actually tumbles throughout the level now instead of jus...

 Wow. Where do I start. Uh, I guess I should mention I did my unity tutorials in congruency with my project, doing tutorials that mattered to me in that moment and since my jumping bug has finally been corrected... Wow it is 4AM and I am after making up for so much downtime. To start, here is most of the links I could find in my history: https://youtu.be/KiVL5rfVdTw  All of these series of videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNhs8lbJDbE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ryi9JxbMCFM https://forum.unity.com/threads/how-to-stop-player-from-clipping-through-objects.461665/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Qq7d9elXNA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUJG4eSAT-w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPU3uR3HYGo&t=12s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCW_T3ZDcBc&t=95s Yeah that's not even all the ones I watched these are just the ones that helped me in the end, I watched a lot of unnecessarily complicated videos before finding these individually. God so much to say uh I learne...

  Sonic getting whupped by Metal Sonic Link- https://www.deviantart.com/codely/art/Sonic-Speeding-Up-GIF-754972954 I would measure the feedback I have received as positive, there isn't really a single comment I have I like over the others but there's not a single one that makes me go "Aw crap", everyone's very optimistic with what they comment on and when they do have a suggestion or tip from using the WWW or other commenting skills we learned it's always a worthwhile read for my own interest and to see what others think of my work looking from the outside in. I feel the feedback is great but something I am very against at this point is sometimes we are required as our weekly task to comment on someone's introduction post, AKA the very first post we made describing ourselves and what we wish for in this module, however i find this to kind of be a waste? I know who my peers are, I have for some time now, I don't really benefit at all from reviewing basi...

       STRANGE ISN'T IT Link- https://gifs.com/gif/quot-strange-isn-39-t-it-quot-sonic-vs-metal-sonic-ywXW60 This week our reading task is not a challenge to read an incredible number of words and then elaborate our feelings on these texts which are extremely beneficial for our knowledge of game design, but instead to critique our critiques of the critiques… interesting. When it comes to the blog posts I have made about the reading tasks to date I believe they all individually still hold up quite well, I take in the information on display, present the things I learned, maybe the things I already knew with subsequent links and the assorted fact here and there all with an evaluation on that certain weeks task and then a Gif or image with something to do with the reading, or just a witty image to go with it such as an expression or a Pepe doing something while he reads. I never actually looked back at my posts after making them, maybe on the odd occasion if someo...
