A start in the Journey DEVLOG #1


STEP 1: GETTING INTO PROGRAMMING...


So, it was round about.. 2016.. ish? And I'd been wondering on how to make a game, not a REAL game, but to get me started, ROBLOX. I learned lua and I stuck to it for 5 YEARS, but then I decided I needed to move on from making games on ROBLOX and only getting a few hundred views.

STEP 2: FINDING & INSTALLING UNITY...

I remembered something which I still had, but always got stuck on "UNITY", so I searched up on how to make a 2D platformer game, with jumping, and walking. With the tutorials though, the jumping didn't work, so I decided to make a game where you don't need to jump, and that began TLS (The. Lonely. Square.)

STEP 3: THE GAME

The start of TLS

Above, you can see the link to the download of the original version of TLS, it was a bit weird as you walked on LAVA but I progressed. I worked on Hexagon upgrades, and one was to change your size, but it never worked, then I found out about "localScale" which then got used to make the upgrade work. After some more researching, I got a camera to follow the player, which I thought was pretty cool. Later after that, I decided to make it more realistic and made the floor green for grass, the sky blue, adding trees and changing the "hexagon upgrades" to chests, which disappear and give you a upgrade by changing you size when touched by the player. And that's what I got up to! I'll make some more devlogs like this so you can keep up-to-date with the game and it's updates, bye!
