My Five Game Ideas

Idea #1 alternate 80’s world tank game/ Tank Fighters

• This game takes place in the 80’s after WW2 in a alternate timeline where the war resulted in a nuclear fall out. The goal of the game is to survive and claim territory in the now lawless remains of Paris France.

Idea #2 2d corse completion

• This game will be a course completion game that will have a total of 8 levels that consist of a obstacle course that gets harder as the level goes on.

Idea #3 endless space shooter

This game is inspired by games such as Space Invaders and endless games such as Mario Run. The goal of the game is to kill as many enemy ships as possible and last as long as possible.

Idea #4 Starship Racer

• This game is going to take place on multiple different planets that are inspired by planets in the star wars universe. the game will have you racing in a campaign or in verses mode with the computer or a friend.

Idea #5 Roll a ball racing

• This game is 3d roll a ball race vs the computer in multiple different environments around the world. Your goal is to beat the time of the computer and to do as many tricks as possible.

 

 

 

The roll a ball project within Unity learn was a beginning assignment for my 9th grade video game design class. The project has a 9 video series of tutorials that outline multiple aspects of the project. These aspects of roll a ball include setting up the game, moving the player, moving the camera, ect. One thing that I didn’t like was that when it came time to create code the code wouldn’t work unless you copy and pasted a code from the unity learn site in to the MonodDevelop program

• Role – Level / Terrain Builder
• Goal – My goal is to create levels on a major video game
• Why – I want to do this because in most video games what brings attention to it is how the world looks
• How – I will try to work at home an in collage a I want to take a class specifically designed for game design
• When – I plan to work on this during 6th period and when I get into collage
• Resources – a computer and a program built for rendering 3D terrain as well as a studio to develop sketches for levels
• Milestones – I want to at least be abel to come up with a sketch for a level
• Heroines / Heroes – Shigeru Miyamoto 
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shigeru_Miyamoto

 

What I learned

A great way to start in the unity program is to use unity learn. This is another part of the unity program that walks you through the basics of easy programs such as roll a ball and a space shooter. In my game design class we started with roll a ball this was easy enough that we could learn how to do it with a simple tutorial. the tutorials have at lest 8 parts with the first being the introduction to the project and the next being setting up the project.

what would I be doing
