GmProg: Level 1





 Oh! My BasPro is evolving!... Don't click anything!!.... My BasPro evolved into a GmProg!...GmProg wants to learn C#! But it already has four moves... Delete one move to learn C#?


GmProg1, a class for teaching the ways of the Unity program. This program is used by many developers in creating games worthy of the market. In this class I was taught to make a cannon fire into an empty grass field. It was quite challenging since we have to learn C# and I was more used to C++. The terms and codes were a new language but rather similar to one another, like knowing Mandarin and trying to learn Fu-kien(sp?).  During the lab class we were challenged to make a city using Unity, even if we did not know how to use it. I made mine as a mountain city with defense towers and a temple. The city was located on a mountain with many smaller mountains surrounding it. I based it on a game I was playing, Monster Hunter Freedom United.




In this class we were required to join at least one of the game development competitions, like GameOn and GameJam. The first competition that came up was the Unity Game Jam : Benilde (By Smart DevNet), which I was not able to join due to bad luck in the participant pickers. Before the day of the event we were given a taste of this game jam by a mini-project given to us by our professor. The theme was ZeroStyro and we were given 48hrs( I think) to make a game, just like the real competition.








 





My would be teammates took the first place prize and did our professors proud. The next competition was the Game On 2012 and were required to compete on master class. We were given one whole month to develop a game under 5mb and under the theme of Philippine Heroes. I am with Team BL-ED we struggled through the months piled with stress and breakdowns, but we took the gold and the stage with NoypiNota.
