First Playable This week for my project, I worked on my game and properly making the game. I found doing Unity tricky at the start and getting everything to move the way I wanted them too and the size I wanted them to be. I made the arena for my game but I might have to adjust the pitch to make it a perfect size.  I added my obstacles for my game which are cones which will stop the footballer on his path to collecting his items, I think I'm going to add more obstacles depending on how I feel towards the end of my game. I added a character but I want to change his clothes to make him look more like a footballer.

Game Fun For this week, I read over two articles. The three articles I read were: -Natural Funativity by Noah Falstein - Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts, Spades: Players Who Suit MUDs  by Richard Bartle I will summarise what I found important and learnt. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Natural Funativity by Noah Falstein: The first article I read was 'Natural Funativity' by Noah Falstein.   I enjoyed reading this article as I learnt the different three basic areas that make up the natural funativity theory. They are: Physical Fun: The same connection between us now and our evolutionary heritage is the survival instinct. Anything that threatens our survival grabs our attention. Games love to have survival as a big part of the game as it grabs the players attention and makes them more invested into the game. A good example of a game using survival as a huge part of their game is Mi...
