This Week’s Intro
There are (2) activities to complete this week:
- Activity #1 – Decide & Build a Game (Version 1 – Alpha)
- Activity #2 – Goodreads Update
For our final two weeks Cawd 2 is going to build some games! You have a number of choices. The outcome will be a finished (published) game that we can play on Simmer.io or in the Unity Hub. This week you’ll work on Version 1 – Due Friday, Version 2 will be Due Friday, June 5th.
This assignment is pretty open ended. I’m going to encourage you to learn and stretch yourself. Since we did not get as far in to the game unit (due to Covid & trying to learn from home) as I had hoped for I am going to encourage you to use all of the built in, free and ready resources from Unity.
For your game: You might want to try…
- Building a FPS & custom mods using Unity’s tutorials
- Install the Unity Playground to build a 2D game variation of your own (remember the playground has a bunch of awesome game scripts)
- Explore the Unity Standard Asset package and look at the collection of assets, scripts, and example scenes (include car controllers, third person controllers and aircraft controllers) to make a custom game
- You may choose to mix and match free assets and packages from the Unity Asset store and Frankenstein a game build
- You might even want to build a 2D platformer using the Bolt visual scripting tutorials.
Here are this week’s deliverables (read carefully):
- Explore the choices above and figure out what you would like to create.
- Create a game document: Use this template. Share your completed document with me via email – Due Friday
- Record 60 seconds of you describing & playing your game by walking us through your Unity project. Drop your video file in this dropbox.
- (After 1-3)If you are behind on other work – get caught up, if you are caught up – enjoy the nice weather!
In week 37 (our final week of Cawd2 work), we’ll add to your game additional modifications. Final games will be published on by June 5th so we can play them.
As always, contact me if you have questions.
Friday
