For this theme I wanted to really go out there and try and push the boat as far as I could. With this one I decided to make a procedurally generated racing game/endless racer. Where I got up to was building the map, and using pre-made assets I made a map that would cycle day and night cycles and also procedurally generate new tiles ahead of the player so you’d never run out of track.

This took me a long time to code but after a couple tutorials and some assistance from online forums I managed to get it to work.

This week I decided to pick something that we had touched upon in the past and use unity to create a top down shooter with a paper/drawing theme to it. In this you move around this hand drawn battlefield to fight other players and pick up new weapons to better your odds of surviving.

This week I decided to take fragments as in fragments of mental health and create a twine game that hid it’s true intentions until the end.

Initially I started off by creating the mental health based part of it first, where it went though asking you how you were feeling and depending on your answer you were given a different answer, though each and every time you were always given a link to the Samaritan in case you needed help.

Then after working on that I realised that I could get much more truthful responses if I semi hid it within a game, so started creating that as well.

I started to then create a little roleplay game were you pick a class and fight something inevitably winning even if you decided to flee. I decided to do this as speaking from experience a normal coping mechanism is escapism into a fantasy world/game to take my mind off of things.
