Through the Years Presentation

Video Vlog

My game is mainly about the Mongols.Since the first day we learned about them in class I immediately was intrigued.The fact that they travel all the times considered as Mongols is really fascinating to me, the traveling people never seem to disappoint me.Not only that but The Mongols specifically this tribe in which a very special son was involved named Temudjin or Genghis Khan, well he went across the dessert to choose his beloved future wife.The player will learn a little about the history of Temudjin and what he had to go through to find his wife and avenge his dad.

As for my research I looked through many of the websites that the wonderful internet let me see, and I also used my recent knowledge about the topic that I learned in class which is the main reason why I wanted to do the topic, I guess my teacher made is seem really interesting.His quest to find his kiddnaped wife and even the clan that killed his father infront of his eyes was really interesting.So why not let it be a game.

In reality my ideas stayed the same.My mind was set on one thing and one thing only, research more about the mongols and even more about Temudjin.Then create a game that everyone will enjoy.But there is one glitch I still have to add my facts other than that im done.
All game ingredients that I have added have been helpfull to me from the Parralex scrolling to the Mouse its all been a challenge especially the coding but totally worth it.
Like I said the most challenging part has to be the coding and placing the codes on the right place I ALWAYS seem to manage to put the code on the wrong place so that was frustrating.But overall the outcome was to my expectations.

Paper Prototype

Making my paper prototype wasn't hard at all in fact I feel like it was the easiest part of the whole making your game concept.I enjoyed being behind a paper and pencil rather than being behind the keyboard. Making the paper prototype in general took somewhat of my energy and patience away for the same reason that I am not the master when it comes to drawing but I tried my best, and shockingly enough it turned out pretty good.Over all making the paper prototype was both fun and kinda of a mind twister, this it the part in which you can do your finishing touches when it comes to brainstorming on what you want your game to look like, so the whole experience was pretty hectic, but worth it.Physically making your game formation really works with your head.

Chooses Learning Topic

     My game quest will be very interesting not only jammed packed with information about The Mongols but also be very challenging so hold on.You will have to be challenged with vicious Mongols with the same wishes as you TO KILL!!!!.What you have to do is avoid all of the obstacles that the enemy tribes throw atr you. For example Kunai knives that can slice you in a matter of seconds, a bow and arrow that can go through you like Hot knife in butter and a lance and that will bleed you to death on instant contact.Also you will have to come face to face with your once family now enemy tribe, they killed your father and kidnapped your wife.Revenge and victory is what you seek, in your journey with these obstacles you have to somehow get through them and collect pieces of the map that will not only slowly help you get to your wife but the tribe that made your life miserable.At the end you will either die in shame or WIN AND AVENGE!!
     For the same reason that my game will be about history I thought long and hard about how I am going to make the format which is side scrolling fit with my topic.For example my game will have Temudjin as the main character and when you scroll, well I will try to incorporate jumping or somewhat.When Temudjin jumps or scrolls you will have to avoid for example anything that the other tribe attacks you, for example knifes, swords or even the other tribe members themselves.In the process you will have to collect all of the map pieces that you need to help you find the path to were the tribe members took Temudjins wife and also the people that killed his father.So overall you will avoid all of the knifes and such and collect the map pieces that you need to find the path to freedom and revenge.

Learn to Design for Mobile

Both designs consuls and mobile have their own way and are different both beneficial.For example the mobile game has things like its more portable and you can use censors to move you character around.While on the consul you have more control over the character. Both have their own ways of being original and are unique in their own way.There is also games that you can have for both of the devices like RayMan this came was originally on a consul and was put on mobile, it really should stay on consul fro the same reason that its a fast pace game.Overall both devices can give you great pleasure, you just have to chose which makes you more conformable.

1st Person

I feel like the player has a better understanding of its surroundings, what I mean is that when you are in 3rd person you see everything from birds eye view while in 1st person you can really "Get into the action".Your more into the game and the player gets like a more life like situation in which you feel like as if you are in the game.As 1st person in my opinion you get more out of the game, you learn more this is only in my opinion but I feel like the game becomes more interesting to the player and because of that the player really gets the info in which the game is about.Making a game of this sort is a big accomplishment for me, I literary feel like i'm playing Mine Craft.It may just be me but I really am positive about the idea that Unity can have 1st person.

Build Scene

Building my 3D scene was a really different experience for me, based on my 2D paper prototype the way that it ended up was really amazing I couldn't even believe that I had created that.The terrain that I created looking back at it I thought things like this took years of skills to master.It was a big accomplishment as simple as just creating the terrain like I said it was a big deal for me I am quit pleased and proud of my work.I think that the challenges in making my terrain was getting everything in place, what I mean is when I created my house I make it but had to move it because it was laying just under the terrain.In conclusion Ii think that Unity is an amazing program in which I only have to get use to with working with all of the tools and once I somewhat master that I know my game will be a really satisfactory,fun game.

Make Paper Prototype

Over all my Paper Prototype is being created in a Rural area.There will be a water fall leading to the lake on the left of my terrain.On the left there will be a somewhat forest and pine trees to be exact and in front the house in which later if you get and crop all of your seeds in time you will be able to eat them there.On the right bottom the garden will be located thats were you have to take all of the seeds in the right amount of time since you are timed.In the last part you have this Super Grow liquid that you can get only when you collect all of the items then you go to your garden and the plants will grow insatantly.After that you can go to your house and you can eat them winning the game.But like I said I still have glitvhes to work on.

Plan Game Scene

I can't really put my finger on how excited I am about my game I feel like its going to be a great success.For the game I plan to have a sort of gathering and growing crops healthy hidden objects game.So what I plan to have is the player crop food kind of a go find things that will help the player with the planting and growing the food in the garden and you will have this type of powder that will make your food grow in a faster way.Also in the seek of the things you need to help you with the garden you will have obstacled this is where the bad objects come for example the Starbucks coffe or chocolate things like that if you touch it I plan to make the players view somehow become blurry and it will be hard to play the game.I still have a few things to think about and I dont know if this is the idea that I will pan to stick with so lets see how that goes, but overall I am excited to work in Unity and for the good.

Sculpt Terrain

I think that making anything overall with this program, you need a lot of patience and dedication.It was hard for me at first because I needed to get used to all of the tools what I mean is getting to know what I have to click to get what I want exactly the way that I want it.Making a Terrain in Unity is not difficult itasactually really fun and exciting once you take a look at the end and see what a masterpiece you created.Sculpting it is not that hard what is hard is putting assets into for example like a tree you may add a tree and it will be somewhere like above your actuall base, so eventhough Unity can be confusing at times with patience especially with htis program anything can be created.

Intro to Unity

Making a 3D object is really amazing so far I am seriously enjoying this program its truly amazing and really works with your imagination.What I hope to do on Unity is try to make my game so life like which Ii kmow is not gonna be hard but to make it seem very interesting to the player a attention seeking game which no matter the topic the game will always be interesting.

Choose Your learning Topic

My topic is Healthy Resources.I decided to do this topic because I fell like the world needs to be aware of if they are trying to be healthy were they can go to get the resources that they need.Healthy Resources can help a lot of people what I mean is that when people actually decide to start of healthy and go eat healthy food there are stores in which the biggest population of food is junk food.My goal with this game is that I can teach people geographically and or visually were to go to find the best produce/ population of healthy food.The game will hopefully include geographical features while still being a fun 3D game.

3D Play to Learn

The game Malaria Prevention game basically teached me a few facts about for example what not to do if you don't want to get mosquitos all over your area. For example things like there is a cabin in the middle of the plain and when you go inside as soon as you get near the bed it highlights and tell you, you need to put a net over the beds when you sleep just incase the mosquitos go inside and try to get to you.There is also objects like a bucket that was by the ocean when you get near it highlights as well and says things like 'Leaving a bucket full of water is a perfect place for mosquitoes to lay eggs and reproduce'.Over all the game was really well, I also was able to play the 2D version of the game and even though the concept was the same,because the game was 2D the game looked really boring so this factor is an amazing improvement that I would do over 2D anytime.The differences were totally noticeable the 3D was totally better.

Course Overview

I am excited about many things this year. For example the fact that I am going to be working with a total new type of programming not only that but the game will be 3D. Also the facts that Ii guess I can be more organized with my work making the work in the future that I create better than I've ever done before.I have always been a person that admires 3D work and now I have the opportunity to create it, Well you can only imagine how excited I am for this year.

Where to get help

I think that my mates can help me with my projects by giving me advice about where I can go to find for example new game ingredients that I can put in my projects.Also they could give me advice about my projects they might know something I don't and with their advice my projects would have another idea that maybe other people will like.I feel that I could help my classmates by giving them motivation, for the same reason that globaloria can sometimes be really complicated.I could also help them by checking over their work for any mistakes.Overall we can all help each other in may ways so its nice to have mates.

Create your Blog

My name is Jennifer Gonzalez a 10th grade student here at East Austin College Prep.My goal for this blogger it to tech people or just give them a snipet of what Globaloria is.I want for people to learn how to use this program properly for example teaching them how to use the simple tools in Flash like the Brush tool in which you have to aim to where you wnat color then just puch on the keyboard and the magic is loose.Also I want people to learn how to not get so stressed becauss when they do they give up and dont want to work anymore.So overall motivation and positivity in my main goal because with out that and patience Globaloria will be really confusing.

Self Reflection of a Year in Globaloria

For this year I am proud of many things because I have learned a lot of other new things that I didn't know how to do a year ago for example making a game that will be eligible to be in a mobile device but make my game do things like scrolling and catching points or loosing on the way as well on this game I am really happy on how my loose screen came up its really cool.Overall everything I did this year was really cool and I'm happy with all from the smallest detail like learning how to code music it all is beneficial and I am happy with everything that I did this year.

Boston Massacre all over again

On April, 17 2013 Boston was attacked with a total of  2 bomb killing a eight year old and his father.It was a nice calm morning the race hadn't even begun yet when suddenly the first bomb exploded on the East side of the race, in a instance human nerves instinct began to kick in a few dozen of people fell on to the ground with badly injuries limbs to the ground blood everywhere.Then the second bomb exploded on the south side of the race every resident and or visitor began to scatter into a mob to get out of there the site was horrible like I said blood everywhere.This event will always be remembered also for the same reason that the marathon was for the families in Connecticut.
