Favourite Game



Hello!

In this post, I will be talking about one of my favourite games: 'Minecraft'.

Minecraft was very popular when I began to play it. Although I'm not one to play games at all (in fact, I don't even own a console) I found this one particularly fun and different. Minecraft is simple, creative, educational and an amazing way to stretch your imagination and creativity further.

I personally began on the mobile app, then continued to a PS3 that I used to own, and then on to a PC. The game is basically all about blocks. Everything in the game is created out of blocks. It sounds so very simple, but the designs in this game are unquestionably outstanding. Also, the architecture in which you're able to create will BLOW YOUR MIND!

There are two different ways that you can play the game: Survival or Creative. Survival is about, well, surviving. You start the game with nothing whatsoever and have to collect materials and attain food all while avoiding the mobs that come out when it's dark. Creative is a less challenging way to play. You have access to unlimited resources and have special privileges (like flying!) in order to build, build and build to be as creative as possible. They are both great options, depending on the kind of experience you want from the game.

Well, that is basically the gist of my favorite game. Although I haven't played any sort of game in quite a long time, this will definitely always be one of my favorites.

I hope you enjoyed this weeks entry!

    This blog post was an interesting read. I can see that your favourite game is Minecraft. Your description of the game was a good way to summarize the game. The way you talk about the game in this blog shows that really like the game and how you started by playing on your phone and to your ps3 shows you love the game.

Introduction to a Future Web Developer.

Hey! This post is a little bit less of the 'fun talk' than discussing my favorite game, but it will still be very interesting. I will be discussing ME! Nothing too personal, I will be focusing on the professional side of my everyday life. At the moment, college takes up most of my time, as you would expect. I am currently in my second year of study in Creative Digital Media and so far, I'm loving it! We aren't really too long into Second Year for me to give a fully-fledged opinion on it, but I can definitely share my thoughts from First Year.  First Year was hands-down the quickest year of my life. It is crazy how different your life feels when starting in a completely different environment, especially after coming straight from secondary school, like I did. When you're finally studying and working on something that you want to be doing, you have fun and time really does fly. I definitely know that I'm in the right course. My favorite thing about...

Alpha

So, I've managed to complete the three levels that I hoped to complete. I have added a skybox to the levels also, and have changed the color of the text on-screen (the coin-counter) from black to white, as the black text blended in with the background. My Own Screenshot Of The Updated First Level One issue I'm having is with the materials and textures. I have no idea what's happening with them. All materials are now showing up as the default plain white (they have a pink hue in the screenshot due to the skybox), and it won't allow me to add the textures or materials that I intended to use, and that were used in my first playable. Also, when you play the game, and progress to another level, this happens: My Own Screenshot Of Level 2 For some reason, the hue then changes to kind of a beige color. This only happens when you begin on a certain level and progress to another one during gameplay. If I were to begin gameplay on Level 2, for exampl...

Game Brainstorm

My brainstorming session has gone a bit better than I expected. I've come up with some interesting ideas that I think will be quite fun to experiment with and create. 1. A horror game. 2. A mystery game. 3. A maze game. 4. An obstacle-course game. Although I don't play games, and barely ever have, I feel like I have some fun ideas for games to create. A Horror Game: I'm a big fan of horror movies, so this is where my inspiration for this idea has been drawn from. The idea in my mind is a character, completely lost and confused in a field of some sort, they start to explore and find paths to follow. On these paths, they find items that trigger memories about why they're there and how they got lost. They eventually arrive at a barn, where they explore some more and find unrecognizable corpses around the area. They then get hit over the head with something, wake up with fully realized memories and an instinct to escape. (I haven't fully developed the story bu...
