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 apply 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. I then broke down my topics into subheadings and planned out a little bit how my sections will look when they are written obviously this is only a rough guide but its a good start in my opinion .  here is  the article I looked at today . I used this one because it focused solely on mobile games and that is a really fast growing industry but most people can forget about it when creating their game.

my research.

I did not want to write this into the actual document as I feel like its just research but if you need me to I will. I found another 5 articles today as well and have added them to my rubix. I feel like this would be a very good summary for the key components section as in a summary you do not need links or references you just sum up why you think each topic is a key component. overall I found this pretty difficult to master and finding articles that are good enough o use but by next week I should have all my resources found to put them in my matrix and begin actually writing my parts of this book. I hope you enjoy reading my blog today and I look forward to researching into my chosen topic more in the future.

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 .                         ...

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...
