Today, we started with Building Playful Worlds. I’ve worked in Unity before, but that’s already two years ago. Luckily I still remembered a lot, which helped with keeping up in class.
I’m excited to work in Unity again, because I remember having a lot of fun working in it for my graduation project in high school. Back then, I had to build two levels in the engine, one in an airplane and the other one in a large rocky environment with a volcano. I was responsible for the level designs, so I didn’t have to do any programming or 3D modelling.
This week, I would like to play around in Unity a little more by myself. After that, I’ll watch the tutorial for next week’s homework. I also want to start thinking about what sort of game I would like to make for our final assignment.

Today I played around in Unity a little bit more by myself, using the standard assets from Unity and a custom skybox from the asset store. I created the following environment:
It was a really good practice for me to get used to the software again.

Today I started watching the tutorials for next class. I didn’t get too far yet, because I didn’t have a lot of time. So far I haven’t had any trouble understanding it, which is really nice.

I finished the tutorial series and have a working game now! I did have some trouble when I tried to move my scripts into a folder, Unity didn’t like that and gave an error message which I couldn’t resolve, so I now have all my scripts in the main asset folder in order for them to work. I’ll look into it later and see if I can resolve it. Otherwise, I’ll ask it in next class.
It was really fun and easy to do, and I understand everything so far. Since it’s still some days before next class, I might revisit the project to make the levels a bit more difficult.
