I still have to come up with a good title.. » unity

The Overfisher

admin — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 22:46:19 +0000

..and finally, here the first game completely homemade, with pure genuine brainz effort and no step-by-step guidance..!

The purpose of this minigame is simply to get to know Unity’s scripting, in a crash course style.

..In this particular game you will take the role of a very determined competitive fisherman, willing to gather as much fish as possible, in order to beat his market adversaries.

Unfortunately, the fishermen sooner or later will have to accept the reality that their business needs are not always as sustainable as they might think..

..Taaantaatarataantaantaaaaa… (ad libidum, it should be a literal representation of the Imperial March, Star Wars style baby!)

Ouu yeah, it’s finally ready to go!

This is my first attempt of an application built using a Game Engine (Unity).

“My” first attempt.. there’s not so much of “me” in it, being it just a 280+ pages tutorial, but ye, it’s a long way to the top if you wanna rock ‘n roll!

The game is a simple AdVeNtOrOuS experience, in which the player is left alone onto a deserted island, waaaay to big for him to explore.

Thank god he was lucky enough to land right next a cabin and a fireplace.. and a coconut throwing platform..

Well, I could trip for hours with this three elements, but it’s actually not that much of a big deal to solve the riddles.. have fun with it

..Try the game! (Use SHIFT to throw the FLAMIN’ COCONUTS, when standing on the platform.. )

Next step? ..now it gets interesting.

Thanks to Marcdub, I finally got the blueprints of the HMS Orkney, sister ship to the Westra, aka Steve Irwin! ..I also found the drawings of the Ady Gil, so now I have enough material to start planning some 3D work.

I don’t feel confident yet to start developing my own applications using game engines, so I’ll also study two other tutorials:

These should give me enough resources and competence to finally apply all this knowledge to the final goal:

Developing an AdverGame for Sea Shepherd.

Hold on, good times are coming!

Learning Unity

..So, here some update on the situation..!

I finally started diving into the noble art of game development..

This time, instead of relying on the good ol’ Actionscript 3, I decided to test what game engines have to offer.. And damn, they do have something to offer!

After an initial period of vague testing of different engines, I found a mentor that gave me some invaluable guidelines to kickstart me in the right direction.

Right now I’m learning to use the Unity game engine, following the very well written Unity Game Development Essentials book. For all of ye pirates, you can probably find the eBook out there.. I’ll save you the fun of the hunt..

The book offers some very detailed tutorials about the creation of a simple First Person (argh!) game. So far it’s simply a guy walking on an island, collecting batteries and throwing coconuts.. wohoo!

..but the show must go on! ..just wait for it!

Paper Moon

I just came across this really interesting game, developed in Unity.

It’s a 2.5D sidescroller.

Yes, not 2 eller 3.

2.5.. play it and you will get what i mean..

The graphic style of the game is lovely, and the sound really adds that little extra that makes this game different from what i would have expected..

Give it a try, it’s worth your time..!
