Game Testing


I think this was a good article to read about giving criticism as it is what we are doing at the moment by commenting on other peoples alpha and first playable blogs. It tell's us how beneficial it is to get good and bad feedback without being biased. It gives some examples of how to tell someone that there work isn't good by saying something that they could improve on instead of pointing out specifically that you don't like it which i think was a great and helpful thing to have in their article.
I also agree that when it comes to game testing that you should get someone that is in your target audience to try it out instead of a random person as their feedback will be the most valuable. I think testing someone's could be fun as you get to tell them what you most enjoyed and liked about it and what you think they could improve on, you could also give them some ideas that they could add to it that they wouldn't have thought of. It would be the same as if someone was to test my game i would like their honest thoughts on it and see if they have any thoughts on what i can add to make it better.

Unity Free Tutorials

I decided to try and find a tutorial on how to add a health bar, I looked through a few but they were pretty bad ones that were made on much older version's of unity so I thought it would be best to not try that as something might not work in the newer version of Unity. So I decided to go through Jimmy Vegas's videos to try and find a health bar and of course I did thankfully. There was a lot of coding for just a health bar, much more then I thought there would be.  It took a long time to get the health bar up and running, I was having a few problems with it, with sizing and placement etc. But in the end i got it working
