During weeks 3 and 4, a major focus was making sure our project environment was set up correctly to avoid technical issues later on. While another team member handled setting up the actual Unity project, I made sure that us developers were all using the exact same version of Unity to prevent compatibility errors. I also took the time to test our GitHub connection to make sure it all worked smoothly. I tested pushing and pulling files, and looked into how to handle merge conflicts. Testing this early on is a necessary step so we don’t lose any work or break the project when we all start adding our files at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since my game development skills are on the inexperienced side, I spent a lot of time getting comfortable with the engine. I finished the first tutorial which covered the basics of Unity. From there, I did other tutorials focusing specifically on working with tilemaps and importing characters. This was a very helpful learning process for me. Understanding how these tools work now means I will be ready to actually implement the game assets and movement logic once our artists finish them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I also completed the required Game Design Document (GDD) for our team. Creating this was important to get all of our ideas documented and to make sure the project remains within a realistic scope. I will be editing it as needed over the coming weeks as our game develops. I also plan on adding more images into it, like our character models and art assets, to fully showcase our game’s design once they are ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the team operator, I have been checking in on everyone’s progress to see how they are managing their roles. When I try to communicate with the team as of right now, it hasn’t been that difficult and everyone is doing well. However, I know that as the due date gets closer and our tasks become more complex, keeping everyone organised might become a bigger challenge. Tracking our progress like this helps me stay prepared for the more stressful times that may be coming up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
