Week 9 Progress

So for the next part of review week we have to review all of are work so far in this term and say what we could do better. I am happy that I get to look back on all of my old work that I did this semester as looking back on old work really makes you see how far you have come or how far you not come . each case will help you improve inn whatever it is you are doing.

Overall I am very happy with my progress in this module and I have only missed liked 3 blogs. I tend ti get a lot of the blogs done on Monday as that is are day of from college and that sis going very well. At the moment I am struggling a lot on my final game but I will keep doing all the extra credit to make up for it and this should get me the pass that I need to go forward with this course.  I want to start putting more effort into unity from now on and actually giving each tutorial a fair chance because a lot of the time I have just given up half way and tried to write about things that I really had no clue about. I still did every tutorial but I know myself I could have tried harder with some of them.


I chose this image as it really hits home about life in every aspect not just this module. nobody is going to bail you out and if you want something you have to push yourself to new heights you never thought you could before.That is the same mindset I have with fitness and every time I go to the gym I try to push myself to new heights I never though I could reach before,

overall I think I am managing the work load very well and getting all the blogs done on time. I just need to use unity more and get more comfortable with that but so var its all good

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...

Games MDA

https://www.developereconomics.com/break-game-design-part-1-get-started To start off this I watched the video that you linked on the website. The first thing I got from this video was the mechanics and dynamics of a game. these are vital to how you game will look and play. mechanics are the rules or constraints for the game e.g kill 50 zombies on dead island 2 and you complete level 3 .  dynamics go a bit more in depth but they go into what strategies go into figuring out the rules of the game  e.g you have to jump 5 times to kill a mushroom boss in mario 2.  Each game is made up of several different abstractions. the next thing that really made me think was that we need to get past using words such as fun. I fully agree with this as so many different people mind different things fun and others find them boring so instead of using the word fun try use the words "well made".  this article was quite confusing to understand at time but I still do think it gave me...

unity free tutorials

so today I was super busy trying to get an alpha of my website completed so I only got time to do one unity tutorial but the tutorial that I did do has helped me put the final pieces to my game so I am pleased with that aspect of it to be honest. i watched this tutorial . This tutorial was really interesting and I liked how the guy broke it down really well and made it super easy to follow. A main menu is something I should have had before I suppose but i just never thought about it which is stupid I I know.  I liked how it actually was not that hard to code and you could easily change the buttons and menu layout to suit whatever game it was you are making. this tutorial did drag on a good but near the end but I manged to follow it through to the end and I am very happy with what I have learned from it, overall today unity tutorial was great as it really helped me finalize parts of my game and make it look more professional which is exactly what I wanted.
