Add First Person Player

You obviously design first person view differently from 3rd person. 1st person player would probably be easier I would think because you are basically designing in area. You'd design with detail for a 1st person view. 3rd person view would also make it easy for the character to play but either ways they both can be same or different. Honestly, you get a broad idea of what you have to accomplish during the game as well as move around the scene. 

Build Scene

Turning my 2-D map into a 3-D scene was an interesting ride, it wasn't easy nor difficult. This might sound funny but the most difficult thing for me to do was the house because I don't usually carry that type of imagination with me which makes it hard for me to visualize it and create it in Unity. Another difficulty I had was duplicating my buildings, it wouldn't let me duplicate for some reason. I would say things are pretty easy to create but you just need to know how in order to succeed. I know I had a hard time knowing where to get things from in order to use them in my scene. I can finally imagine my game scene I would say. Even though it was hard I feel like it helps a lot creating in Unity since it's 3-D. It gives you an easier view to how you want your game scene. I see it, I see my game scene now. Overall, Unity did give some headaches but I just have to learn how to work with it well. It might get hard but I can do it.

Making Paper Prototype

Making a paper prototype helps develop ideas faster than usual. Making a paper prototype helped me visualize better how my game will look in Unity. It helped paste everything quicker than if I was to do so in the actually format. Overall it made things easier for me to visualize what my game will look like and how every little object matches its position throughout the scene.

Plan Game Scene

My game will start out as a classroom/kitchen where a low income family is taught how to cook economical meals nearby their community. Since many of low income families are used to traditional cultural food which most of it is high in fat and several other ingredients, they'll learn how to change their diet by learning new ways to cook. The player will be one of the family members and you'll have to find healthy objects that are needed for the recipes in order for you to cook at home for your family. If the player hits or touches the wrong object, he will have to go back again until he gets used to a healthy object. I'm really excited because in the game the player can't win unless he's adapted to healthy habits.

Intro to Unity

Creating a 3-D Object was really really difficult for me! It was frustrating at the beginning but towards the end It got easier. I expected Unity to be harder but it's actually not. Unity has assets for you already. All you have to do is put them together and make something out of it. I think Flash and Unity aren't so hard to use. Flash just provides a bit more freedom by letting you create anything you could think of. In Unity, assets are there for you and you just use them. I hope to create an entertainment that will attract others, unlike my other work. I hope to make a perfect setting for my very first entertaining adventure game. I also hope to become an expert just like I did with Flash.

Sculpt Terrain

At first it was difficult for me to make a terrain in Unity. I was kind of confused since there was lots of assets to choose from. I didn't know how exactly to add the texture. Although I had some difficulties, everything turned out to be ok. I was fun adding all sorts of textures to my terrain. I felt like I was building my own hose or piece of land. Towards the end, nothing else was hard, only choosing how to enhance it was a bit challenging. Overall I enjoyed making a terrain in Unity.

Choose Learning Topic

My learning topic is Healthy Resources. I've noticed that only several grocery stores supply healthy food. For example: HEB on 183 & Springdale rarely has healthy options and on the other side HEB at Hancock has many different healthy options. It's like they're excluding a large percentage of race from eating healthy. I wonder how does HEB decided what items to distribute where. I chose this topic because It's a big problem. I find it unfair sometimes. How come east Austin doesn't have a Central Market? Why is the Government complaining about Hispanics and African Americans being the Obesity Target? Why? It's their fault, they're the ones populating low income families with fast food restaurants. It's important because many people don't have the access to healthy eating, and that is why they are reaching these diseases such as Diabetes and Heart Disease, etc. I do know of some Healthy Options around East Austin but yet their prices are so high that it doesn't make a difference. Low income families won't be able to afford the stores price.
