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...

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...
