Game Development Week 3

In the 3rd week I started with editing my characters because it weren't trimmed so I had to trim all the images and replace them every where, it was so anoiyng but I did it and now the character is better.

Also I chaneged the acceleration in my game from 1500 to 2700 and I started to think about one thing. I want my character with the open umbrella to have an different acceleration from the character with the close umbrella and when he moving with the open umbrella his speed to be slower. In this week I started to think more about my level map and the obstacles which I will place here, I created some platforms just for experiment to see how my character will jump on it and it didn't look so bad.

I understood that my character will have to move left so in this case I have to reverse his animation because in it he went only on right part of the screen so I had to edit again the men with open umbrella and the men with close umbrella. I did the coding for this and when you press left it change the image to the right one I think now is more better and also I am happy because I did it without any tutorials and it works great at the moment.

 The next think I started to work on it was the egg cloud. After finding the right images of cloud and eggs which I will have more tipes white, simple and simple broken. I did the editing of all the images to png  and the coding for the cloud which will generate randomly eggs every second or I might change the timing. For the moment I am happy with my work and I try to do all my best on this game hope will be an good project. Also every week I save my game into an new project.

Game Development Week 2

In my second week I started to upgrade my menu and my scene where the player has to choose the character he wish to play. I added music to both of the scene and it sound good. I did the code for the texts and when you press "Start" on the menu scene it change the scene to the choose character scene.

Here also if you press the "Man" character it change the scene to "man level 1". When I understood what everything is working well I started looking for girl character. 

For it also wasn't easy to find the perfect character but I find one even if it's not perfect. The animation was of 9 images and I edited every one in png format. I placed the girl on the choose character scene and it didn't want to work because it was a problem with the frame which I placed on this scene thanks to my teacher who helped me to find it out.

After this I started to think about jump and opening umbrella. In my mind was to make this two effects using the bassicaly change scene and place in the place of the simple men an the character of the men with umbrella but it didn't look great so we had to change the coding. Also the jump it didn't look great because first I did it using only change linear velocity y but I change it using the example from the game which teacher offered to us like an example.

Game Development Week 1

When I started creating my own game I started with the background and camera work.

First in my mind was to create my game using sidescrolling and I did it like in the mario game ,but I understood that it wasn't the best idea and I changed to camera like in the race game. I did it because in my game the character has to stop go back and with the sidescrolling it doesn't look good.

After I start looking for the main character, it was really difficult to find an gif men with umbrella and it has to be also animated. I found one and he was perfect for my game but it was one probplem , he wasn't png so I had to cut hem and his animation was formed of 17 pictures. It wasn't easy. Because in my game this men is not only with umbrella, I had to edit him because he was with the open umbrella so I cutted his open umbrella and I pasted in an close umbrella and I did this thing for all 17 images of animation. It was so anoiyed but I did my best. After I did the menu and the scene where the player has to choose for which character he wants to play girl or boy. 

My own Game

Game which I decided to create is called Egg Rain. In previous blog I explained to you what is the game about and how it is going to look like.

In this blog first of all I want to show you the game storyboard and the level map there you can see the obstacles and how it is going to look like. I think in the future my ideas will change anyway this is my firsts ideas.

The storyboard of the game:
