Progress

To start expanding the prototype, I start by implementing music and sound effects for my game, I find my sound effects in royalty free sound from websites like Freesound or Pixabay.

I have also added a block mechanic to my player so that the block negates incoming damage.

Then, I started working on the enemy script and enemy animations.

I added a patrol mechanic for my enemy so that it patrols around certain areas of the map.

Then, for the boss room, I added an invisible box as a trigger to activate the boss in following the player, I also changed the background music to boss music when the collider is triggered.

After several playtests, I build the game into a WebGL file, zipped it, and uploaded it via Unity Play.

Final Reflection

Over the past few weeks, exploring Unity game development has been a challenging yet rewarding journey. As a UI/UX student with limited coding experience, I initially struggled with concepts like scripting, C# programming, and gameplay mechanics. However, as the module progressed, I gained a deeper understanding of how game design intersects with UI/UX principles to create immersive player experiences.

While I improved in scripting and design integration, I identified areas where I need growth, such as optimizing code and refining complex mechanics like the checkpoint system, enemy AIs and much more. Moving forward, I plan to continue learning Unity through personal projects and game jams, applying both technical skills and UI/UX knowledge to design user-friendly games.

This module has shown me how my background in UI/UX can enhance game development and has inspired me to explore more opportunities where these fields overlap.

Week 1 - 7 Ng Zheng Kai 0359424 Intercultural Design / Bachelor of Design in Creative Media (hons)`  Project 1, 2 & 3: Hanhaba Obi  INSTRUCTIONS A proposal to concretise ideas, supported by research, for a final design revolving a given theme that reflects students’ understanding and interpretation of global issues and design aesthetics. The general theme is “Cultural Sensitivity in Design” You are to study a cultural phenomenon, or a particular subculture that is perceived as ‘sensitive’, and “frame” your study within the chosen theme. You are to convey this cultural aspect without altering the actual facts but within a presentable interpretation and adaptation that raises awareness from the viewers. Produce some preliminary ideas on how to visually express you interpretation using design language. Each idea is to be supported by a sh...
