Roblox Studio: Creating my own game (Day 10-12)

 Sorry for the lack of a post yesterday, I really just wanted to focus on this game, and I think I have something really cool to share today! 


    When I first think of creating any types of games, I think the first thing to develop is movement and how the character feels to control. So I got started by creating a ton of animations. 



The first animation I created was an idle animation. 



I found a tutorial on YouTube that showed how to edit the default animation scripts on Roblox. All I had to do was essentially tell Roblox my animation id code and then it will replace the default animation with my own custom animation.




My idle animation in game. The character bobs up and down (almost like breathing)




I got bored so I made a wacky running animation where the player just levitates above the ground and moves around like a ghost. 


The running animation in the code (lines 4 and 13)




This is what the animation looks like in the game.



Next, I wanted to add an npc into this game that says something to the player. The first thing I did was grabbed this model from the roblox marketplace.



Then I made some changed to this code by adding a couple of dialogue features. (Lines 27-32)



Then I added a familiar looking character into my game and then setup the dialogue to the character! 



I also wanted to create a few more animations, so I animated a front flip for the jump animation.



I had to split the animation in half into a jump and fall animation. After I had that, everything worked perfectly!



After I finished creating all the movement in the game, I started creating the main focus of the game; an obstacle course!



This is the script for the yellow block on the previous screenshot. When players jump on the part, they get sent up high!




After the big jump section, I wanted to create a platform where players had to carefully jump on the spinning platform, and jump off safely on the opposite side. This was done by creating a part that acted as a motor and I welded the motor part to the platform where players will stand on.

This was all that I was able to create between wednesday and friday this week. Next week I plan to add more cool things to the obby to make it a very fun and unique experience!

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!
