What is the purpose of GDD? A Game Design Document (GDD) is a blueprint for the design and development of a game. The GDD is a way of being creative and documenting the approach to the development of the game.

In conclusion, the game design document is vital to making a game and it is important to have in order to describe your game project. How do we create one? There are a variety of tools that could be used to create a GDD. These include word processing too

  Unity Engine Logo This weeks tutorial we were introduced to objects colliding with one another. This was a very interesting lesson and has opened my eyes to endless possibilities. It was basic, once an item collides it was set to make both objects disappear. This was achieved by adding Collider components to our objects in the game, then writing a CSharp script in Visual Studio. With the completion of the tutorials however, the game felt like it didn't run as well as it could have. There's many speed values I would like to change along with the size of my game. I felt everything was quite crowded and it became difficult to progress in the game as the animals spawned frequently and the speed of the character was just not capable of catching them all.  Another mechanic that we were very briefly introduced to is gravity. By removing gravity from our pizza slice in the game, the slice would fly along the ground endlessly. That's really all the introduction we got, disabling g
