Week 9 Reading and Writing

So for todays reading we did not have to actually do a reading which I was quite happy about to be honest. we were asked to give an honest recap of how you are finding all of the readings in this module. This week is called review weeks and I am very pleased we have this as it gives me a break from the normal boring blogs and lets me give me thoughts and vent some frustrations I have with module.

For the most part I am finding the readings very interesting and unique but there is some readings and blogs that I made where the reading was just way too confusing and didn't really have anything that could help my final game in it.  I am very happy with how my reading and writing skills have developed during this module . I am now more confident in my writing ability and I am now starting to use more fancier words and better grammar with every blog that I publish. Even when I go to read the news or something like that online now I find my self studying it more and really trying to understand what it is all about.  I am glad that I learnt these skills as I was really bad at writing before this module started. This should really help me in my future career as I want to be video editor and I will need to be able to spell and write well to complete some aspects of that job properly.

my favourite reading so far..

 I put this screenshot here as it was my favourite reading so far that I have completed in this module. This really thought me so much about how to design a game and think of many aspects that I would never have thought about before. This reading was quite long so I had to read it like 3-4 times to fully understand this article but when I did finally understand it thought me so much things that I have applied throughout this module and that I will apply in my final game this semester.

Overall I am really happy this module and the readings are a big part as to why I am enjoy it so much. If I think about this module as a whole the readings are probably my strongest point as I struggle a lot with following the unity tutorials and trying to make my final game. I just get so confused with unity. Game design is definitely my weakest part of this module but the readings each week have made me a bit more confident that I will be able to get some sort of game completed by the end of this module.  I also really look forward to the last few readings on this module (I hope they will be easy to understand and be relevant to my final game that I am currently creating) and I will definitely keep reading more and writing more from now on.

Unity tutuorial 06

Hello guys and welcome back to my blog. For this blog I will talk about my experience with the unity tutorial 6 . 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 .                         ...

Reading 4

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.

Reading 2

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...
