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 the course is its vast range of modules and the fact that with that degree, you're not stuck down one single path. We study things like design, photography, audio, documentary filmmaking, storytelling and so much more. My personal favorite is web-development/design. I love building a website and being able to see a fully functioning end result. At the moment this is where I hope to pursue a career.

I remember in semester two of last year I would happily sit for hours on end coding and looking up tutorials on how to do cool designs that we hadn't learned yet. I'm very passionate about it and it always manages to excite me.

BUT, I am the most indecisive human in all of existence so who knows, my opinion and passion might completely change down the line, but that doesn't matter. Like I said, the course goes so many different ways, I have an unlimited amount of possible paths to take in the future if needs be.

But for now, I am fully content and ready to code!

  3. Hi Brian,

  4. Howdy Brain,

    This is a nice little blog you have here, it was fun to read. I too find web development and design as my favorite module. It is fun to sit down and just build a fully functional website, it's kinda like Lego, can be annoying sometimes but still is great fun. I'm also a very indecisive person too so I know how you feel hehe. Anyway, you seem like a really hard working guy and I hope this year goes well for you. I can't wait to read more of your blog :)

  10. Hey Brian,

    I'm glad to see that you're enjoying the course so far, it's great to have something to be so passionate about. I definitely agree that the best thing about the course the range of modules, it gives you so many options for jobs and it means you're pretty much never bored of the same old thing. I hope you enjoy the rest of the course just as much.

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...
