Roblox Studio Adventure Game (Day 5-6)

 On Monday and Tuesday the week, I have started to work on my biggest project yet in Roblox studio; creating a fully working simulator. Some of the things that I've learned how to do was use the terrain editor tool, and some new coding statements. 


   Day 1


On day 1, the first thing that I did was create a notepad where I put down ideas for the game. The tutorial calls this stage of game design 'pre-production'. 





The next stage was to create the setting of the game. I knew I wouldn't have time to create a whole forest environment, so I started off by creating small caves and divots in the ground, where I could hide gems.


The multiple caves that I created using the terrain editor tool



One of the caves unique design. I made it so the player has to travel through a stream of water to reach the crystals. 


After I created these caves, I moved onto the coding side of things. The first thing I coded was a player leaderboard. The purpose of the leaderboard is to show the players their stats, like how many items they're holding, how much money they have, etc.


Creating a variable called 'Gold' for the leaderboard

Creating more variables to display on the player leaderboard (Gold, Items, and spaces)

Day 2


On day 2, I worked on creating a system for players to collect the crystals in the game. First, I went into the creator toolbox and put a nice looking crystal into my game. The way this system will work is that players will harvest crystals with pickaxes, then take the crystals to the shop to earn money from them. Then players will use that money to buy better tools to find rarer and more expensive crystals.

Following the tutorial, it guided me to download the roblox studio package and place it into the starter pack folder. When I ran the game, a pickaxe was now in my inventory.

The last thing I was able to do for this day was creating a script that detected when the pickaxe made contact with the crystal, using lots of variables and functions.

I'm pretty satisfied with the amount of progress that I've made on the game. My next step is creating a few more systems in the game like selling items and buying upgrades. My hope is that I can have a basic alpha version of the game, before I refine and finish the game by creating a more detailed map.

Roblox Studio tutorial: Creating a tycoon (Day 8-9)

Image
  For the tutorial I decided to follow the youtube tutorial created by the youtuber AlvinBlox where he demonstrates how to create a tycoon game on roblox studio. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XY6Ig48tAnk The first step in the tutorial is to create a box using parts for the base of the tycoon Next I created a red button with a billboard gui attachment. This attachment shows the word 'Label' currently, but will say something like 'start tycoon!' When the game is finished.  Following the tutorial further, I went into the toolbox and grabbed a conveyor for the tycoon and placed it in the back. The next thing I did was code a starter script that gave the player 500 cash when starting the game so they can buy a few things. It also shows their cash on the leaderboard. Next in the tutorial I duplicated the tycoons to have multiple tycoons in the game. This is easily one of the most important steps because without multiple tycoons, only 1 person can play the game per server....

Day (8-9) The start of something new

Image
  After looking around for things to do, I decided to just open up photoshop and create something cool. Fortunately, on that day there was this sticker contest, so I decided to make something in photoshop!  The sticker/poster that I made for anti-vaping week Some of the things that I used to create this was the gradient tool for the backgrounds, quick select tool/magic eraser to remove the background off of images, brush tool to add faces onto the brain and lungs, and the text tool to create the text + changing some of the properties such as a drop shadow.      The next day, I wanted to create the thumbnail for a youtube video that I'm currently working on at home.  This is just a prototype, but what I imagine the thumbnail will somewhat look like. I plan to add something to the text to make it easier to read at a smaller scale, and something extra for the background. Lots of creating this was just playing around with properties and filters to just see what...

Day 4 of the independent project (Resurgence)

  Back in October when I was starting the independent project, I was working in premiere pro to create a gaming type video for my YouTube channel. I won't be returning back to this specific project, due to me completing the video in my own free time.  Link to the video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Gz7t_SbBiY&pp=ygUqUm9ib3QgNjQgYnV0IEkgY2FudCB0b3VjaCBhIHNwZWNpZmljIGNvbG9y         For the next part in this project, I want to play around more with Roblox studio to create a unique game. There are a couple ideas that I want to try, such as a fighting game, rpg, and obby. By the end of the semester I plan to have at least a working prototype of what I imagine the game to look like, full of scripts, custom decals using photoshop and animations!
