First 2D Game

Inspiration---

My inspiration came from Chinese New Year. As the Spring Festival past. I Started to think the elements that relative with Spring Festival. I found that a duck escaped from neighbor to my house in my hometown, and my dad failed to let it back to neighbor's house and he decided to pet it. I was curious about it and started to observe it. I took some videos from the duck about swimming, eating and it reminds me of the word "youth", because this ducky was full of passion when you try to pet it or just watch it swimming. Another elements is brother chicken, as the native culture, chicken is one of the popular dishes in our dinner. For the eggs, it means new life and fortune to me.

Game mode

I setup a question at the beginning scene, which said how many eggs does brother chicken need? and I also gave some tips under the question to guide player. In the game scene, the duck will collect the eggs and give it to brother chicken,  just like the people are collecting their fortune by saying beautiful language and giving lucky money to each other. Ducky gives brother chicken eggs by showing its own best wishes.

Success

As a gamer, it is my first time to design a game, but after that I felt great, even though there are many things that need to be improved, but I am happy that I finished my first 2D game design. 2D game are classic stuffs forever and it will never out of date I think, so in the future I will continue create some tiny 2D games.

Failure

In the game scene, I wasn't able to make the visual looks good since I am not very good at drawing and also, my work are lack of animation, which looks not that lively. I still need time to review the C# coding, which I also forget all of it . xD. Question: How to code the action of pulling something in unity?

Future Development

I will improve the game scene background and add animation to the characters in the game. Also with some funny audios when you picking up the eggs or even walk, opening doors and pushing block.

Lesson Learned

I got stuck on the eggs picking up and the number increased at this game. I tried recode many times to make it work, but I failed. After I getting help from Lia, she said I have to pull the script into the text parameter in unity, since unity and visual studio are connected, if we don't do that then the function will not work. Therefore, big thanks to Lia, and I learned that every scripts that I wrote need to be add in unity's game objects, or the function will not work.
