Review Week Comments and Feedback

as Part of review week in this module we have to review all parts of this module and give honest feedback on how it is going. For this blog I will be talking about the blog comments and my overall experience with them

One thing I must say from the start is that I like to get my blogs done on Friday or Saturday. For a lot of the blog comments you are asked to comment on peoples project work but most people don't do their project work till Sunday which is quite annoying but I guess that is something that can't really be fixed.

I really enjoy the blog comments as it is good to interact with people on this course that you would generally never speak to at all. I am a big believer of feedback and I think it is essential to make better work in the future as people can be very biased to their own work and can't see the problems in it like other can straight away. I don't really like the way the most comments I get are on my introduction. I would prefer to Gert more comments on how my readings and unity game is going. I think I have only got like 2 comments on my project work so far. From the comments on my unity game I got so far it has really helped and I have changed things based on the comments I have got.

I like doing comments as as it always is fun to read other peoples blogs and asses their writing skills. I feel like I am getting way better at giving feedback and I try to be brutally honest when reading someones blog as their is no point in just being a "yes man" and saying everything is good, people won't learn from that. In my opinion brutal honesty is the best and is what some people need to improve themselves for the future.

In the future I would like people to comment on my readings and blog posts as commenting on try introduction is cool and all but it is not very helpful in making me better at the skills that I want to improve in this module. I like how my blog looks at the moment but I will probably do the tech task this week and mess around with all the customisation till I find something that I really like and will look more professional than it does now.

From looking back at my introduction post I am impressed at how my readings and comments have gotten so much better then then and I hope to get even better before this module ends. I love commenting on blog posts and I always look forward to reading peoples blogs each week . I hope you enjoyed this review of hoe the blog comments are going and will take some of my feedback to maybe improve this module for next years year 2 class.

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
