DAY 13
THE DAY BEFORE.
I actually just searched up “cute 8 bit music” and found the most perfect anime-like 8 bit music for the art gallery! I’ve spent today tweaking, making the music match, debating whether to put the art gallery before Trump, after Trump or after the Zoe level... >.>
I actually love the Art Gallery so much! It is by far my favourite level, I’m so happy I put it in wtf ;_;
ALSO in my last post I mentioned Kelly Tarltons and forgot to do art for it, so I added that and Hansan! Finding a bowl of noodles that wasn’t blatantly ramen was so hard... and then I had to edit all the green out of his bowl ROFL.
Also thought the level looked a little empty because I took the banners and windows out (the bg is a light and pink version of the castle bg) so I put a funny panting on the left and have to think of how to fill in some of the space...
Edit: I filled the space with some banners and it didn’t look good so I’m just gonna leave it.... AND TRY NOT TO THINK ABOUT IT...
GG ZOE YOU TRIED
I AM SO NERVOUS

DAY 12
So I redid the floor today! It took aaaages to pick, I don’t even know if it looks that much better but oh well lol. I googled for ages and tried to find aesthetic pathways but nooooo so I made do, I guess it looks okay!
I also tried to look up the points system but I really... I don’t get it... I guess it’s not fully noticeable til the last level?
Also the game is so short I don’t really know if I should add another level :< I’m trying to plan one out but I have no idea what to put in... all my memes went into this one! I think I’ll just stick to refining for now... I wanted it to make it something to do with memories... like maybe he can walk through a cinema then an aquarium then a zoo? Maybe I’ll have an art gallery with mems? OOH that might be good! WAIT THAT’S ACTUALLY SO SMART THANK YOU TUMBLR I JUST CAME UP WITH THAT WHILE TYPING THIS>???????
Edit: I MADE THE LEAP. I did the cutest 8 bit art for some of our memories! Some of them are.. well... quite a fiesta. I basically just googled 8 bit elements and threw them together, although it took me 12 days to realise googling “pixel ____” instead of “8 bit _____” was significantly more effective. So I made an art gallery, but I can’t find the right music! I’m out of community music D: I tried two but it doesn’t fit! The art is SO cute though I am so happy with it ;_; It’s like 5am, I didn’t plan anything at all so I switched a lot of things but I am really happy with the cute art and the memories, aw its so cute.

DAY 11
I was making a level select but when I played through the game, it was so short so I don’t even think it’s needed. I just made a few small adjustments throughout the game like changing some of the signs and volumes, and also adding a castle (finally! aaand changing it 4 - 5 times, so many castles) and then made some credits! That also took some time because I couldn’t think of what to say HAHA. I thought about changing the ground on level 1 but it’s gonna take so long with the tiling and.. I don’t know...
I feel pretty good about the game! I don’t know about the turret bullet speeds and stuff, plus I really am a bit unsure about the points system, but maybe he won’t notice :D I’ll try and fix that tomorrow I think.

DAY 10
MANNNNNNNNNNN I can’t figure out how to do it..... I really can’t be bothered with writing up a huge audio manager for just ONE sound out of like ten.... Maybe I’ll end up doing it, I’m gonna try and get around it though.
I added music to the title page and kind of made another turret but idk if I’m gonna keep it. Also I have that cute girl from chuunibyou and also toradora for possible additional dialogue? It’s so short though. I’ve spent probs two hours on this today before I have to go to Sharon’s and it’s just me trying to fix this sound thing and fucking around on Photoshop ;_;
So just before I go, I have made another turret on level 2 to make it a bit more of a boss battle, but I have to replenish the players life or its just too hard to beat LMAO. But its funny I think.
Edit: OK I’M BACK, I TRIED TO DO
void OnDestroy()
{
GetComponent<AudioSource>().Play();
}
BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS A WORKAROUND BUT NOOOOOO ;_; I guess I’m watching the 30 minute tutorial
EDIT2: OI IM SO DUMBBBBBBBB...
public AudioSource Jab;
public AudioSource Cash;
Jab.Play();
OI
OI
OI
SO DUMB
WTF
OK I GOT IT ROFL
I GOT BORED WRITING OUT A LONG SOUNDMANAGER SCRIPT AND GOOD THING I DID COS THATS SO MUCH EASIER WTF WTF WTF LOLOL
TIME TO WORK ON THE HEALTH RELICS!
Edit 2: Health relics were slightly problematic! But they ended up being really simple, they now make sound and restore health. So awesome! About done I think with sound! I’m really happy because I spent so long and downloaded probably 100 sounds to try and find the right ones. But the music sounds good, the sounds fit, it’s really satisfying actually!

DAY 9
SOUND TIMEEEEEEE
After spending a whole day napping, cuddling and eating I am feeling a lil lethargic but let’s DO THIS.
So adding sound should theoretically be easy right? I was always gonna use Community’s “Journey to the Centre of Hawkthorne” for background music, but OMG finding all the little clips are SO annoying. Clips for damage, bullets, pickup, doors, etc etc. DAMN. Opengameart and freesound.org don’t have that much! It took a really, really long time.
So when it comes to sound, I added sound to the bullet but got really confused because when I add it to the prefab, it makes the sound when I start the level before acting the way I want it to (e.g. making a sound when firing...) also... this is so stupid but I was a bit confused cos I couldn’t even find the bullet thing in my hierachy... but I made it a prefab and I forgot I did that..... and I looked for it for ages..... >.>
WOW ITS REALLY EASY I JUST HAVE TO GO TO THE UPDATE PART OF EACH SCRIPT AND ADD GetComponent<AudioSource>().Play();
WOW THANKS TO THE ONE VIDEO THAT POINTED THAT OUT DESPITE ME WRITING OUT A LONG ASS SCRIPT WOW WOW WOW ITS 2:40AM I mean I played a lot of Hearthstone so I guess I didn’t spend that much time on it bUT DURING HEARTHSTONE I WAS CONTEMPLATING IF SOUND WAS IMPORTANT!!! Report all game tutorial youtubers!!! REPORTED! Jk shout out to them damn such detailed tutorials with not much views, that ad revenue must suck...
Edit: OK WE HAVE A HICCUP I HAVE TWO AUDIO SOURCES ON THE PLAYER BUT THE SCRIPT JUST PICKS UP THE CASH SOUND SO WHEN I PUNCH ITS LIKE CHA-CHING LOL WOTTTTT
But besides that, it’s going quite well! The sounds fit, and I LOVE the Community BG music! I have to whip out Sony Vegas to make the music repeat though because it doesn’t sound right if it’s not repeated smoothly xd There’s a long ass gap LOL.
EDIT2: I MADE THE MUSIC REPEAT. It involved a lot of shifting and editing but it sounds good I think! I couldn’t use one Community song and I am super sad about it but it just doesn’t sound good repeated and it’s only like 20 seconds long... even though the game takes like 2 minutes total to complete lol. But all 3 levels are about done, I just have to sort out the cha-ching issue ;( But it’s like 5am whoops so tomorrow I will do it!

DAY 8
WORKING ON SECRET PRESENT IN HIS ROOM how spicy!
I found an indoor castle background! BUT IT HAS A WATERMARK. It’s for personal use, so I don’t feel that bad about trying to get around it. BUT OMGGGGG ITS EVERYWHERE. Since its pixel art, on Photoshop I can just choose the block brush and use the same colour and paint over it. BUT ITS TAKING SO LONG LOL THIS IS MANUAL LABOUR FML its a good background tho I LOVE IT!
I also made a cool floor and made some ups and downs and some SPIKES so this level is less “lol look food” and more dungeony, but I just realised that my points reset every level... I don’t know how to fix that..... I want to ask him how....... I put in a DontDestroyOnLoad but it’s not working ;_; I think I might have to replace my level 1 floor because literally the floor is just a grey block with a black stripe on top lol it looks okay but the texture in level 2 just makes it look lame
EDIT: He’s coming home early, I am torn between being excited and wanting to fix my score issue ;_;
EDIT2: HES PLAYING LEAGUE IM FIXING IT WHILE HES RIGHT THERE HOHOHO
EDIT3: NOTHING IS WORKING.... I am just gonna work on my sprite. THE ZOE SPRITE.
EDIT4: Okay he went to sleep semi-early, I will work right next to him LOL. I made the Zoe sprite during league, I’m gonna work on a bg now for the final level!
EDIT5: The bg just ended up being a brightened version of the last one, it looks good tho! I fixed the camera maximum, added some gay text, added the sprite, made the levels load each other and fixed some spacing! FeelsGoodMan.
THINGS TO DO: (for personal reference)
SOUND
FIX POINTS SYSTEM
CREDITS
LEVEL SELECT PAGE

DAY 7
OH NO CRAIG WANTS ME TO BRING MY LAPTOP TO HIS HOUSE but my desktop has been my asset central with all my photoshop files and brainstorms of characters....
NOOOO what if he looks at my screen AHHhhhh
Ok I hide it.
Anyway I decided on Teemo, I really can’t think of any characters, I thought of Monika but she kind of had a redemption arc and having Teemo there made dialogue easy. Like, “hey, I’m annoying, but wait til you see this guy!” So that was easy, since I already had the NPC code I just changed the sprite and the text. THEN I realised my door is like a castle door so I should make it so he goes INTO the castle... OH WAIT I SHOULD DO THE WHITE HOUSE. No that’s spoilers. Ok into the castle, fight trump, go down another level and then he will meet the princess AKA ME.
Also I’ve just done up a title page and it looks pretty decent! Put some functioning buttons there too, I’m quite happy with it!
Now I have to add sound and a level select page! Also some health things, and obviously that final level where he meets me. I’m staying at his house tonight and tomorrow and some of the day after so that leaves me... 5 days. Easy! I better work on this castle background now :0 RIP ME because I can’t find any. I’m editing some bricks now... it doesn’t look right tho :/

DAY 6
MY EXAMS ARE OVER :D Time to lock down!
OK I spent a long time tonight looking for a Trump 8-bit and trying to DIY one but eventually after scrolling long enough I found a cute one!! I did a quick animation on it, used the turret prefab and tweaked it with tweets as bullets, I think it’s funny. It didn’t work a bit for some reason, the bullets kept disappearing like last time, and I spent a long time comparing the script to the video. It seemed fine. But after a while I realised importing the bullet prefab worked fine. So I kept importing and changing the bullet image and one time it worked.. still don’t know what’s wrong.
I think tomorrow I will try and add dialogue to it and I think maybe have a character introduce him? I’m really stuck on what character though... I should’ve planned this better... coming up with memes for this game is actually really time consuming, because I change my mind a lot! It’s almost as bad as finding art, but not quite, because art involves so much DIY and googling. Considering it’s me, I’m surprised I didn’t plan this better.

DAY 5
So I have been studying over the last couple days but I still think I have been spending 4-6 hours on the game like per day, OR MORE ON SOME I’m sure cos I am a bit special sometimes... it probably doesn’t have to be that long but I just get confused u know lol ;_; And there are errors and stuff, I type stuff wrong and its so dumb...
BUT today I made a door to another level! The text wasn’t working though, there was meant to be text that said “Press E to exit” but it never showed up, I have no clue why. I tried changing the order, changing the colour, checking the code... nothing. So I just went on Photoshop and copied a pixel sign using shift and the pencil tool, the sign looks pretty good! I’ll just use that instead lol.
Also Chester and Philip asked to see my game and they said they were impressed!! But exporting it showed me my life hearts and my points tag didn’t translate well on different resolutions so I learned about canvas scaler today!! And I used it but I don’t know if I have to use it for everything. Also since I implemented it, for some reason every time I zoom in my sprites disappear on the scene screen? But when I press play its fine? I read all these solutions like pressing F but none worked, eventually I just had to double click on some nearby tiny item such as food and scroll across manually. Fml.
Also I put Umaru Chan in as a little character that explains how the game works and stuff, because there are some weird controls and I thought that would be the best way to do it!
But I have basically finished level 1 without sound I think! I want to do a boss battle but idk who I want to be the boss cos I already used Lilly Chan.. hmmmmm... I am thinking TRUMP

DAY 4
I literally didn’t sleep last night I reaaaally wanted to get the turret firing! IT IS THE FUNNIEST TURRET. I did it at 7am, right before I had to leave and I was SO happy. My turret fires at the player, does damage, and it disappears upon impact! That part took super long!!! I obviously had not slept the whole night so I’m not entirely sure what the problem was, for a long time the turret bullets disappeared like 1cm from the turret, or they didn’t appear at all. It just seemed to be a lot of retyping and sometimes forgetting to attach scripts to the right thing lol.
And I had a nap at school oops, then I had to act like I wasn’t sleep deprived and IT WAS SO HARD NOT TO TALK ABOUT MY CODE PROBLEMS AT TONYS :<
SO TODAY I SPENT AAAAGES TRYING TO GET MELEE ATTACKING WORKING. I had to do the tutorial 3 or 4 times. Then on the last time I got really close and found out that instead of (”Damage”, dmg) I did (”Damage, dmg”) AND THERE WAS NO ERROR? THANKS UNITY. I didn’t even realise for so long.
BUT I SPENT AGES ON IT AND I AM SO HAPPY ITS WORKING!
EDIT 2: I ADDED SOME FUNNY DIALOGUE I THINK, AND NOW I’M FINALLY GONNA WORK ON COLLECTABLES! I KINDA TRIED BEFORE AND IT FAILED HORRIFICALLY SO I HOPE IT GOES WELL!
EDIT 3: TODAY FEELS LIKE THE FIRST DAY THAT THINGS DIDN’T GO SUPER WRONG AND I DIDNT HAVE TO REDO THINGS A LOT LOL except that melee attacking bullshit, but school feels like so long ago cos I had a nap before dinner :D But the collectables thing went pretty smoothly and it was easy to adapt the code to other types of objects so he can collect more than one type! But I spent so long trying to decide on gross food, you would think it was easy but I didn’t want to put anything that looked actually like a dead fish... there isn’t a lot of seafood 8 bit. I think I switched the icons out like 5 times. But I’m happy with it now, I have some seafood that is obviously seafood but not like FUCK THATS GROSS y’know. Wooo! Coding takes ages but so does finding artwork and trying to convert some to 8bit :< Now I am working on a door to the next level!

DAY 3
I ran into this problem last night and rage quit and went to sleep... so I’m trying to get the sprite to kind of get knocked back when he hits an obstacle and turn red. AND NEITHER THE ANIMATION OR THE KNOCKBACK IS WORKING T_T The code is perfect, I copy pasted some of the suggested solutions in the comments and it still isn’t working so I know it isn’t a typo ;_; I am so confused :’(
Edit: HOLY I FINALLY GOT IT I DON’T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED I WAS JUST COPY AND PASTING DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS FROM THE YOUTUBE COMMENTS AND MESHING THEM TOGETHER AND ONE WORKED?! I don’t know what happened but I actually kind of want to cry tears of joy, I am so happy. It looks so legit, the obstacle makes him flash red and he gets knocked back! Plus he takes damage! Honestly wow. I feel so good. I’m going to work on some dialogue boxes next I think!
Edit 2: The scripts sometimes don’t update in Unity and I always wonder why it isn’t working, but it is day 3 and I have only just discovered that you need to save it. So. Special.
Edit 3: So I was writing the code for text boxes and inputting text and stuff, and there were SO many errors and I was so confused! Like a LOT of errors. But I quickly found out that their player movement script in the tutorial was named different to mine so I changed that. LOL. That was dumb. But even with that, some of the errors still stayed. I kept at it for like half an hour then got mad. I was so lost, I left it for like 3 hours, came back, looked through the script for 2 minutes, and realised I was missing () that whole time after the <player> bit... Fucking wow. I want to cry.
Edit 4: OK SO AFTER I GOT MY TEXT BOXES WORKING I tried to make it so when he went to talk to Lilly Chan, he stops moving. Like he freezes. BUT IN THE PROCESS SOMEHOW I BROKE HIS ABILITY TO JUMP!?! LMFAO WHAT DID I DO! 2AM CODING IS A BAD IDEA. IT TOOK AN UNSPEAKABLE AMOUNT OF HOURS BUT I GOT IT TO WORK FINALLY. It involved some research (turns out different versions of Unity means different code...) and some box ticking and adjustments and stuff but now the dialogue works! And he kinda runs on the spot... I don’t know how to make him freeze but I can’t deal right now. It took so long to even make it work, he kept running freely and I was RAGING. Anyway, I think it’s pretty funny what I had Lilly Chan say! I’m thinking of doing a turret next, or maybe some collectables! I have some ideas!
EDIT 5: I MADE A TURRET AND SPENT WAY TOO LONG IN PHOTOSHOP. I kept changing my mind but I think I have made the perfect turret. Anyway wow its 4am and I’m meeting Craig tomorrow. And I have to somehow act like I didn’t stay up all night because I’m super invested in making this game. P.S. I decided to largely follow just one channel for tutorials so the consistency is a bit better, but unfortunately out of all the tutorials, the most helpful one is made by a fucking kid and I can’t stand his voice... :’( It hurts.

DAY 2
Okay so my next aim is to make a scrolling background, like the ones that follow your character kinda. I spent a good 20 minutes adjusting my background to fit perfectly, I have three of the backgrounds all lined up. I adjusted it to be just perfect... and the play button was on. TURNS OUT that undoes all the changes. That is so fun. Oh my god that is so fun. FUCKING UNITY I SAID I WAS A BEGINNER WHY IS THERE NO POPUP WARNING I report you!!! I literally almost ran to tell Craig and cry. BUT IT’S FINE.
This morning, I made a background on Photoshop! I was looking through opengameart.org but they didn’t really suit or couldn’t really be repeated. So I just did some things on Photoshop and I think it turned out okay! NICE. At some point I actually have to sort out a 8bit Zoe and Craig actually, that sounds daunting.
Edit: THE SCROLLING BACKGROUND WORKS! I had to look through a few tutorials because the first one didn’t really work for me, but I found an okay tutorial (with an annoying voice though) but I watched the whole thing and it works now! I had a lot of problems with random errors, so even though the video was 20something minutes long, I actually spent really long on it lol. Whenever I see a 15 minute video I’m like “WOW that’s so short, it’s gonna be easy” but then it’s like an hour because I can’t make it work...
Edit 2: HOLY SHIT I AM SO PISSED I spent so so long editing these base sprites off opengameart.org to kind of make them look like Craig, it’s a bunch of sprites that allow for animation so you have to edit like 30, AND TURNS OUT THE ENTIRE FILE WAS TOO SMALL WHAT?!?!? It comes out SO blurry on my game?! I am so mad!!! The tutorial I’m watching said the sprites they were using were an edit of the same base sprites!!! WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME THEY ARE TOO SMALL. I AM SO MAD. I SPENT. SO. LONG. WTF. WTF. FUFUFUFUFUUFUFUFUFUFU.
Edit 3: Uh... turns out, all you have to do is choose “point” when you’re choosing a filter in your sprite settings. The sprite then becomes crystal clear. I may have raged prematurely.
Edit 4: I am having serious problems with the animation!!! The code is definitely perfect, I have done the animation part, but it’s something to do with the transitions I think? I really did it according to him, I did it 4 or 5 times but the jump animation is not working :( The walking one is fine though... so I might just make it so when he jumps he is walking through the air I guess. I have spent too long on this and I am very confused, it doesn’t look that bad anyway.
Edit 5: UH did I forget to save?! I have been spamming save project I feel, but I closed unity then opened it and my project is 3 decent sized tutorial steps back. I SWEAR I HAVE BEEN SAVING!?!??! But there isn’t any other explanation other than Unity being special needs but to be honest it’s more likely that I’m special needs. I am now saving every five minutes. Also I am saving both scene and project lol.
Edit 6: I MADE A FUNCTIONING PAUSE MENU AND IT HAD LITTLE TO NO ERRORS AND IT IS LIKE THE FIRST THING THAT HAS GONE SMOOTHLY DURING THIS WHOLE PROCESS I FEEL SO GOOD. It functions properly and everything :D Wow!!!! I think next I’m going to work on some building blocks and maybe some obstacles or something, the map right now is kind of just a floor so I’m pretty keen to give it some height.
Edit 7: OMFG. IT’S 3AM. I HAVE OBSTACLES. WHEN A PLAYER TOUCHES THEM, THERE IS A HEALTH BAR THAT GOES DOWN. I AM SO EXCITED. IT WAS SO PROBLEMATIC THOUGH? The video was 30 minutes I don’t know why it took me two and a half hours ROFL. I also added a couple more ground things but higher up, so that’s cool. But that obstacle thing caused me so much pain what the heck honestly. Also I’m kind of switching between 2 or 3 channels, that probably complicates things a lot. Some people just explain certain things better ;_;

DAY 1
Okay, well... I opened up Unity and I have to set up a project and I don’t even know what settings to pick so that is a great start. I guessed, and then the interface popped up, and I don’t know what the fuck is going on. I’ve seen Craig have art in the assets bit, I think... time to look up a tutorial.
Edit: OKAY this tutorial has got me feeling like Umiko!!! (I had to look up her name, you know the angus New Game coder chick lols). We worked on a floor, and a main character, and we built some of the map, and learned about colliders, and it went pretty smoothly!! This doesn’t seem too bad honestly, and there isn’t any coding!!
Edit 2: WELL we moved onto C# and I SWEAR I typed everything he typed and it isn’t even working what the heck!!!! I did exactly what he said!! I’m trying to get the character to move btw, I don’t UNDERSTAND why it’s not working!! These errors have weird explanations and even when I google them I don’t understand the explanations of the explanations!!!!! >:(
Also WTF is up with Visual Studio, there are colours on two sides? But you can’t even click on them to go to the errors? Red is error right, what the fuck does yellow mean...
Because of these errors I can’t even import my script?! My first instinct is to go and run and ask Craig but that would be retarded and defeat this whole purpose so I will not... but my life is so hard.
Edit 3: Well friends, I did not copy exactly what he said. I am clearly a bit special with kinds of punctuation. Also, I couldn’t import the script because there was a typo in my script name so it didn’t match my script class... I am actually so special needs?
Edit 4: DAYUM my sprite can walk and jump and I got the camera to follow him!!!! This is actually so exciting whaaaaaaaaaaat I feel so cool!!
Edit 5: Lol it’s been like 4 hours but between procrastinating and being confused, I have a walking, jumping, and dying sprite that can fall through gaps and respawn AND the camera follows him wherever he goes!!!! I HONESTLY FEEL SO COOL WOW I’M SO EXCITED!!!
