Feedback thoughts

So before I looked at these articles I first thought about feedback. On the one hand I find feedback very important as it really helps to see what mistakes you have in your work and learn form them but in other circumstances I think feedback can be too harsh and can put a person off something before they have every started.

The first article that I read was called"a fixed mindset". This really opened up my eyes to how a fixed mindset can have dreadful consequences for people. It also got me thinking about myself and how I may have a fixed mindset too. I like to think that I am amazing at all stuff to do with video and that and when I get criticism I just brush it off and say their jealous of me but after reading this I am now open to more criticism. I also firmly believe with the point made in the article that always praising a child can make them fragile . This sis so true as so many people will grow up and not be used to any sort of criticism no matter how small it is and when it happens they will not know how to react. From reading this I have changed how I think and I hope to be more open to criticism and not give out to people for mistakes so quickly.

The second article that I read was called "why rejection hurts so much". This article kinda resounded with me as I have been in the past a few times. it really helped me to hear that the greatest damage rejection causes is self-damage. I used to always look at myself and what I did wrong after a rejection but this article has changed my mindset on that. from now on I will try to see how great of a person I am and when I do get rejected I wont get too down on myself as I know there will be people out there who will appreciate me for who I am, I just got to find them.

Introduction Post

My name is Aaron Comiskey and I am 20 years old. I currently study CDM in Blanchardstown and I love the course. I live in Kilmessan, Meath with my family but I hope to move out soon when I get enough money together. I want to be a video editor when I am finished college and maybe work for companies such as BBC or RTE(you have to aim big or you will fail). During this term I want to get better at all things to do with video but I also want to give the other stuff like web design and game development a chance as I may end up loving them and actually want to go into that area after college. I have many hobbies. I am big into the gym and love lifting weights , it makes you feel better and look better so why not do it. I love football and I am a huge Manchester United fan even though we are rubbish now. I play tennis the odd time when I am not too busy also. I post fitness content online not to show off my body or muscles (even though I am proud of the results) More so that I can keep u

prototype

Over the past week I have had so many assignments to submit and with the blogs we have to do each week I have not have had much time to work on my game in unity. I have been watching the two tutorials that I linked in my previous game idea and I have drawn up a few prototypes on sheets of paper. By next week I hope to have a good bit of my game complete to show you. I am happy with the vision for my game. My level is not going to be very complicates as I find if I add too much into it that it will just become confusing and I will not be able to complete it. I want my final game to hopefully be fully complete . Everything in my game is going good except for the fact that unity is limited and its hard to customise weapons, characters and other things as you are very limited by the options it has on it. that is a screenshot from the tutorial I am using . for my game there is a lot I still have to consider. I have to try add in sound efects but not ones that sound really bad and

Game Brainstorm

Before I even started this blog, I researched for about 35 minutes and found many games that I wanted to base my idea off. These 4 ideas are very different and I will probably go with the one that is easiest to make with unity. So for my first idea I looked up puzzle games. Puzzle games are something that really interest me as you feel so great when you finally crack the puzzle and figure it all out. for this research I used this website that really helped me understand what makes a good puzzle game. from reading this article I found that puzzle games have to be challenging but you have to be subtly pushing the player of the game towards the correct solution. you need to play test every puzzle first to see if it works and do not make it too difficult as the player will get fed up too quickly.making a puzzle game is a puzzle itself as you first have to come up with a puzzle . so I will probably not go with this idea but I am very interested to make a puzzle game in thew future
