This is my game: https://sair-strike.itch.io/pumpkin-dash
For this week, I was given a Task to create a Platformer Game where I will create a character that will venture a map full of enemies and hazards that will challenge the player to hop and run across platforms to reach a goal. I have followed a step by step guide on how to create the platformer game.
Those videos helped me understand making the game. I enjoyed the production process. I have created a bunch of scripts for this game and have followed the videos to the point and have successfully made a fully functional game.
I did have some issues with the kill enemy script where when I stomp on the enemy using the player, it destroys the enemy. I created the script and everything is correct from a grammar standpoint but for some reason the script just simply wouldn’t do the function. The solution to this issue is a tick box I need to enable in order for the script to work. I have learned that some difficult issues have the simplest answers when producing a game on unity.
I have created a bunch of sprites for my game on photoshop. I made the protagonist, enemy, hazard, platform blocks and grabbed a sign clipart and have implemented that into my game.
With those assets I have crafted a nice but medium level obstacle course that teaches the player mechanics of the game to anyone who plays the game on their devices. I added sections where the player can’t advance unless they learn the mechanics like a double jump wall, where the player has to double jump to get to the next section.
When I went through the production of the game and have made a fully functional game. I felt that the game needed more functionality for example, it needed a “You died press the mouse button to try again” button to allow the player to play again if the player has died. Also I have added sounds into my project. Background music to keep the player engaged with the game and a sound that emits when you destroy the enemy.
I have posted the game onto Itch.io and have published the game so anyone who has a laptop or a desktop computer can play. The game is called Pumpkin Dash and I am very proud of my self on the outcome of the game and have learned how to implement music into my game.
