This week Nhu Thai and I met up on Wednesday and discussed what we need to do and how we would evenly share out the work. We decided that Nhu would do the Main Menu, the setting page, level page and level 1 and I will be doing levels 2-6.

We explored colours for the main menu page using adobe colour. We decided on yellow, blue, red and brown.

We wanted use bright colours to engage the users attention.

Nhu and I weren't sure how to share our files between Animate CC. We decided to try just sending the file to one another and copy and pasting it into one of the projects. That worked so we we were delighted to know we could easily transfer files.

We were given the illustrations this week and are working on implementing them into the levels.

We also looked at fonts. We wanted something fun and childlike but it still needs to be readable. After looking through fontspace we decided to go with KidZone and SchoolBell.

KidZone was used for the heading and SchoolBell was used for the writing on the buttons.

    Hiya Esmee, I’ve been following a few people you have working on this game, I like to see each side of it and how it's developing and I have to say this looks amazing, I really like the colour scheme you’re going with, it is definitely pleasing to the eye, I also promotes a good experience for any children playing the game, the game has a lot of potential in my opinion, I really see this as a project that I feel could become more than just a college project, I feel you all could definitely make this a real thing for kids in schools, I’m really looking forward to seeing how the levels start mapping out and how you plan to make this all work, if I can give any suggestions I guess I would say to try map out the levels from a more detailed point of view so you can take a step back and see if anything can be improved but either way I think your groups game will be amazing once it’s finished.

This week our meeting with Shaun went well. For Thursday we will have our full functioning game. This week I've been watching videos on Animate CC just to get to grips on how the software works and how to use it. Video for simple animation Only half of this video was actually needed as the designs for the game have already been done. I started to watch a video where the game was made using html5 and java script which I thought could be cool because we already have some knowledge on HTML and JavaScript but as we are making a game for an iPad theres was no point in continuing his tutorials. Plus his voice was hard to follow and he wasn't the best at explaining what he was doing or why.                                        I am currently behind this week so I will be very busy on the game in the next two days to get it finished for Thursday.

Unity Tutorial 01

UNITY TUTORIAL 01 Welcome back to my Blog, In this blog I will discuss my thoughts on my first Unity Tutorial by Jimmy Vegas. I had never used Unity before. It is a very similar layout to Blender so I didn't find the controls as difficult to get the hang of as I did when I first used Blender. I think it's easier to use than Blender, everything is more accessible and there doesn't seem to be as many hidden menus. Though I'm sure when we start doing more complex things on Unity it will be just as difficult as Blender.  Jimmy Vegas was very clear and his tutorial was very easy to follow along with, he explained everything he did really well but didn't dwell on anything for too long. I stayed engaged and didn't get bored, which I often do. It's a really cool software, Although I do like how we were just given packs to download but I would be very interested to learn how to make a tree and different terrains and textures by myself. Unity has left

Game Design Document

Game Design Document I'm in a group with Eva Garrett, Nicole Goodman, Robyn Mulhall, Nhu Thai, Marcin Grabicki and Emma Byrne. After doing some research we decided we wanted to make an app for an iPad instead of a game for the laptop we think it would be much more suitable for the game we want to make and for the age group.  We were inspired by Leap-Frog and Animal Crossing.  Kids are attracted to bright colours, we notice colours and begin to distinguish objects based on colour from a very young age so it's important to make sure the game is very bright. We will keep this in mind when designing the game. A lot of kids are visual learners and auditory learners, it's important that they make the association with the sound and word/numbers.  We are making a game for an iPad. The game will be an e-learning game for kids ages four to eight years old.  The game will be a mathematical game based on a farm. The player will be asked a series of questions such as
