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

 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. 



Lastly, I created an attribute for the tycoons. When a player joins the game, they will be assigned a specific tycoon and can only buy stuff in their own tycoon. 



This code also constantly checks if tycoons are taken by players yet. If a tycoon is taken, other players cannot buy them or interact with them. 



Currently, I'm following part two of the tutorial, which will finish off the tycoon and make it playable. I plan to finish this and document it for the next blog post!

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!
