Games GDD

For this weeks reading we got to read about game design and how it different aspects can make a game feel and play better. this was very interesting to me. I spent about 40 minutes reading the articles and getting an understanding of what it was all about. 

 The Article that I read was called "Design Considerations"written by Greg Aleknevicus.  This was a bit more advanced than needed as it went into how a games box will look and we will not need to worry about that for years to come but it still had some key opponents the will hopefully make a better game designer. I really liked his sentences about making tiles smaller so they don't affect everything around the, This sounds so simple but it is something that I would never have thought about at all until I read this article. I will most certainly use this in my final game as I will be creating a wall or tiles somewhere on my map. 

 This article really opened up my eyes to disabilities however minor like colour blindness . I am not cooler and dot know anyone cooler blind so I would never think about it but when making my game I will definitely use shapes more so than colours to respect the people who may actually be colour blind themselves.  This could actually work out really well for me and as it will lead me to be more creative and not just use too many colours. 

 Avoiding clutter is something that I highly agree with in this article. I hate games that have so much clutter in them and just have stuff going on that is not necessary. games should be minimal and everything that goes on in them should draw the player in and relate to the overall game concept. when making a game less can be more sometimes and that is something people should remember more. 

 Overall this article was more advanced than it needed to be for me but I still learned so much about how to support players and how to design a game so you can facilitate for every the of potential user .

As you should already know I am doing the create with code side of unity this term and I really want improve my overall game coding skills. I am happy with progress so far but I still have a long way to go.                                                 Sound and effects The first tutorial was actually pretty easy but it was really enjoyable. I had tried to add in sound effects to my final game last semester but it failed badly . this tutorial really simplified the process of adding audio to a game and made it actually really easy to follow.  I really enjoyed the quiz at the end of this tutorial even though I got one answer wrong which annoyed me a bit .                         ...

Hello guys and welcome back to my blog. For today's reading we had to continue from the research we were doing last week but thew difference was we had to a pply thematic analysis  to your resources and group common themes this week.   The first thing I did was read all the steps very carefully. I liked how it went into detail in discursive writing as that is something I am very passionate about, I used to have a blog years ago when I would be discursive and discuss manchester united games but I gave that up . I completely agree with the point about supporting your argument with evidence as if you do not how is anyone going to trust that what you said is credible  summaries to me are vital , I sometimes read the summary of an article first and that usually gives me a good outlook on if this article will be worth reading or not. today I went and found more resources online which I will add to my matrix.

Welcome back to my blog guys. I was kind of hoping there would be no bogs to do this term at all as they were pretty stressful last semester but I will get on with it and give it my best shot. This module actually sounds very interesting and I ma excited to keep researching and adding to my parts of the book. I spent way over 3 hours doing research for this. My two chosen topics are key components of game design and stages of game design. these are two topics that kind of excite me and make me want to dive into these blogs head first. the first thing I did was list all the who, what ,why ,where and when. these questions actually really helped me get a focus on what I was researching these are my answers who- I started my who by finding all about the people behind the games, I found out that first game was made in 1972 and it was all very interesting what- for the what part I went into detail about  what are the key elements in games . in my opinion a story and good visuals a...
