Week 9 Progress

Hello! In this blog post, I will be discussing my progress to date with this module along with a few other topics.

Looking back

My progress so far is definitely not something to be fully proud of. I have had a couple of bumps along the road that definitely put a strain on my progress, but in regards to where I am now, I'm quite happy as I feel like I've caught up, I know what I did wrong, and I most definitely will not be making the same mistakes as I did.

My weekly routine wasn't the best, It definitely got thrown around the place when pother big deadlines got in the way. I know now that the reason for this is because I didn't make a schedule for any other modules, so my time management was not up to par.

My favorite class assignments are probably blog comments. It's nice to see other people's work and be able to connect with others. I also used a few extra credit assignments after my little 'bumps in the road' to catch up. I will also need to use a few more extra credit assignments just to get me over the line for a C grade, as I am just a couple of points off (bringing into account that I will fully complete the remaining weeks).

Looking Forward

For the second semester, the first thing I want to do is begin with the biggest effort I can. A big problem I had in this semester was I started off thinking we would be eased into the work and given time until we got used to it again. Of course, I was wrong, so I now know that I need to be ready to hit the ground running.

Also, a huge thing that I need to sort out is my time management! I want to plan ahead on all modules and give myself the correct amount of time for each module and allocate it so that I am not leaving things last minute, and so I also have some spare time on perhaps another day if something happens to go wrong.

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...

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 Design

What is a game?; a question that is surprisingly difficult to answer. It seems like such a simple question to be asked at first, but the more you think, the more complex it gets. What I've noticed from the readings is that the game industry is very subjective. There isn't one single set of terminology to be used by everybody as the industry is far too complex for everybody to settle on a single set of terms. The reason for this is that it is highly unlikely that different areas of the gaming industry will be using the same terms, they are all so different that it is probably impossible to settle on a single set. Like I said, it is very difficult to define a game, and when taking into account my previous point, if the industry can't settle on a single set of terms to be used, how can they settle on a single definition if they're all so different? There are probably hundreds, if not, thousands, of definitions out there for a game. Here are a couple of examples: ...
