Journal Entry 2

Date: 22.2. 2023 Activity: Installed and worked with 2DGameKit to create a short 2D platformer with enemies and more advanced mechanisms then in the first game.

Notes: GameKit felt very natural to work with and I felt that I was a bit more free to do what I wanted because I better understood where to find certain things. Creating the game with this tool was fun and I would make a longer game, but I feel like this 1 level was enough for me to learn what I needed and I will probably put my time in more complex games later on. I found out that decorations and all assets clip through each other as long as they are on the same layer, because the are probably drawn based on camera position. Note to the future: Choose layer carefully!!

Invested hours: Installations: <25 mins

                                    Tutorials:1,5 hours

                                     Game designing: 2 hours 

Outcome: Build of the platform game with enemies, portals and stuff- uploaded to the itch.io page as a .zip file

Feedback: Tutorials were again a great help in learning with Unity and this tool in particular, it was fun and I was eager to work on the game even after the labs at home.
