Unity Tutorial 09

 This week the tutorial blog is different from the previous one as I could look up a video that will help me with my game and that will be the tutorial for this week.  Here is the first video which is adding a timer so the player can try and beat their score each time playing the game. At the start, I found it a bit difficult as the person in the video was using variables that I had never used before however after watching it a few times  I understood it. It also took me a few attempts to get the timer in the right place as I was not able to find it in the game view, I eventually found it after a while of zooming in and out. 

I will then continue on from where I left off last week in my game. I need to fix the camera so it is behind the police car and get the police to chase a player. 

 

Games Stories

  To make a game good it must tell a story, having a story in a game is a key feature to having a good game, which will keep the player more interested and want to play more.  There are many aspects that a game creator must consider when thinking about the game  "story" (game idea) The first one is the story or plot of the game what is the purpose of the game? many game creators look at other stories within games and see what has worked and also see what is unique about each game story.  The video, by Mark Brown, shows how many games, already have the story not letting the player having an option or get to make their own story. Video games are becoming more and more popular such as  X-box and PlayStation which have become more lifelike over the years, however, most video games already have their story in the game, which gives the player less of a chance to tell their own story. The player could choose the direction or action that the player does but the main storyline throughout the game is the same. Which not having the effect which the game should have on the player.

There are many times that telling a story in games has gone wrong the reason for this is from these two errors.

1. Story doesn't matter
2. Story is dialog.
