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...

unity fail

to be brutally honest I never understood unity at all this year and tried to mainly focus on the readings and all the extra credit. hoping that would be enough to pass this course. I still have very high points as I have done so many extra credit and all the blogs / unity tutorials. I have a game started but to be honest it was a mess and with al;l the other assigments it is not going well. I will try get more of it done to show on wednesday but I am not too confident. over this course I have really enjoyed the readings and I have done the extra credit lots but my final game is kinda all over the place. I wanted to do a platformer but that failed big time and the coding in this just makes no sense at all to me.

Unity tutorial 01

The first thing that I did before I started the tutorial was to watch all the jimmy vegas videos linked on the website., these really gave me a great starting place before I actually attempted the tutorial for myself. The tutorial that I did was the first one I saw called the creator dev . It was an alien shooter game. The really good thing was that you actually got to play the game before you went to make it so you could get a glimpse of how the mechanics were meant to work. The part I enjoyed the most was making my own enemies to shoot. I was disappointed that there was only really two character prototypes to go off but I did the most with them that I could. I found it very difficult to connect different pieces of the course together and make them actually work but eventually I got it right and it was pretty satisfying.This unity tutorial was very good but in general it was very limited and I am excited to get into more in depth unity tutorials in the very near future. overa...
