Review Week Comments and Feedback

Hello! This week I will be thinking back on the blog commenting and feedback project assignments.

Feedback In
First of all, I haven't gotten much feedback at all. This is, of course, a fault of my own (as I've discussed before) due to me missing out on a couple of project-related uploads and documents, I obviously wouldn't be able to get feedback from other students. Although, the little feedback that I did get, in my opinion, wasn't necessarily 'feedback'. The comments I received were great, but they weren't constructive nor critical. They were all complements which left me in the same exact position.

Feedback Out
Personally, I believe all of my feedback and comments were quite detailed and helpful. I did complement work, but I also suggested specific ways to improve. Also, a couple of times where I was giving feedback I noticed certain writing techniques (on the likes of notes, etc) that I thought would help me a lot so I look forward to taking these note-taking and writing strategies on board.

Blog Comments
I think the blog comments were really helpful in order for all of us to get a bit more connected with one another and get to communicate regularly as a lot of us tend to stick to our own groups. It may have even given others the confidence to make some new friends within the course. Considering we are in our second year now, it may be daunting to try and connect with new people because, as I said, we are all stuck in our own groups. So, the likes of blog comments and getting to read introductions on one another makes us more familiar with each other and less fearful to try and connect.

Looking forward
First of all, in the future, I need to actually stay on top of my work to get feedback in the first place! But for the future of giving my own feedback, I definitely think I could be better in general. For example, I would like to be a bit more constructive rather than generic praise. Giving suggestions and asking the person questions about certain things which may be unclear in the posts would give them complete knowledge of where they can improve and why. Also, if I begin to post comments which are less 'filled with praise' and more 'filled with suggestions', this may encourage the person (who received the comment) to then post similar feedback and content on another person's blog, helping them out and then creating a domino effect until we are all giving useful constructive feedback.

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...

BETA Things Have Happened In My Life.

So.. I have spent many upon many hours this weekend on several 'Unity Free Tutorials' from previous blog posts, and I have struggled a lot. I have tried to implement timers, etc, into my game and absolutely none of it has worked. I cannot figure out the coding, the errors, or C# in general, and the tutorials don't help with the confusion as they aren't exactly what I wanted to achieve. One issue I've had for example is the timer. I've followed around five different tutorials on this particular one as I really wanted to put it onto my game. Each one I've found is a bit different from what I want and doesn't fit the game. Except one, and when I tried to follow it, '(Sprites?)' were introduced and I could not get any of it to work at all. My Own Screenshot of my Unity. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, so therefore, I have absolutely no idea how to fix it. Considering the tutorials I researched were 'extras' that I tho...

Unity Free Tutorials

Unity Free Tutorials This week has been an extremely busy week with deadlines. Unfortunately, due to other massive submissions in these last two weeks, I don't even have a minute spare to practice these tutorials or develop my project until the weekend. But, I have had just enough time to watch these tutorials and understand what is happening in them in order to implement them into my own game. I never even thought about these particular things until I was reading and commenting on other student's blog posts. I'm glad now, as it's just in time right before the end and they are obviously quite necessary in the development and functionality of a game.

Hopefully, it wil...
