MY FAVOURITE GAME

I'm not someone who usually plays games but I do find myself passing the time on Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp (ACPC). The game's main objective isn't winning or losing but creating a campsite and inviting animal villagers to stay in order to build a community.

The game allows you to personalise your own avatar and also dress your villagers in different outfits. You can complete requests from the villagers on your campsite/in your cabin or from different islands on your map and they will reward you with bells (the game's version of coins) and materials which you can use to craft furniture. Your campsite also includes a garden where you can plant a variety of flowers to trade for special items or to give to your villagers.

ACPC is quite a relaxing game and is great for passing time. The aesthetics are cute and visually pleasing which I really like.

But you're very good with stuff like design so this is right in your zone. Have fun with this cause you got this!

FIRST PLAYABLE

Continuing with the creation of my game, I resized the player character to make them even smaller based on a comment that was left on my last project blog. I also repositioned the trees to make the space slightly narrower and added some flowers to bring some colour into the scene. With reference from the animal feeding game tutorial, I was able to get the player moving left and right by clicking the arrow keys. I brought in rocks and a branch for obstacles but I need to apply a SpawnManager script and get them to spawn randomly during gameplay. I also have to figure out how to get some branches falling from the trees and bringing in power-ups and points too. Screenshot from Unity3D of my game production.

PROTOTYPE

I browsed through the Unity asset store to find a package with nature objects that I could use to set up the scene for my infinite runner game. I downloaded the Nature Starter Kit 2  and started building my scene in Unity. This was a little time consuming but I'm satisfied with the way it turned out. I upscaled the trees and bushes, keeping in my mind my initial idea of gaining inspiration from the movie "The Secret World of Arrietty." I got the character from a tutorial I have completed for this module before and positioned the camera behind it. Screenshot of my work in Unity3D. With reference to the lesson 3 Unity tutorial, I started coding by creating the PlayerController script. I used the AddForce method and allowed the player to jump by clicking the spacebar. I declared two public variables to be able to adjust the gravity and player's jump force. Looking into the player's animator controller, I applied a static running animation. I then added a jumping ani...
