The Lady In Black
May 2013 - May 2015
About The Game :
The lady in black is a survival horror type game inspired by the game Slenderman created entirely from me using Unity 4.6.
Experience? :
I started this game before going to school for 3D Animation so i knew absolutly nothing about Unity or 3D applications, but that didnt stop me. My goal was to create this game, and that is what i did. I started learning on my own through tutorials from various places. Learning 3D wasnt all that hard since most of the stuff in the game are kind of blocky in a way. I made everything in the game with the exceptions of a few things that I noted in the credits section. Programming on the other hand game me the most trouble and was the reason the game took so long to finish. I looked at code and had no idea what it meant, it was like looking at another language and trying to find out what it says. I decided to use java scripting for the game since I kept reading that it was the easiest to learn and do. I took myself to youtube and unity answers for help and for tutorials. In the end the game didnt exactly turned out how i wanted it to be but im still happy about what I accomplished by myself. Not all the code in the game was made by me, some were taken from youtube or unity answers. Doing this is what made me understand programming and allowed me to look at code and know a little bit about what it means.
Story Behind The Game :
I started watching markiplier and his lets play videos on horror games and was inspired to create a game that he can play on his channel, but little did I know how hard it would actually be do that. I started doing research on how to create a game and that is when I found out about Unity and 3ds max/ maya. From there I started my year long journey to finish my first game made only by me.
My Final Thoughts :
Being able to create a game that people enjoy from having no experience is what gives this project a special place in my heart. This game doesnt have much animation in it, so it wont exactly show my skills as an animator, but it does show that I am a dedicated hard worker who can overcome any obstacles thrown in my path.
