Review Week Comments and Feedback

Looking back

Multi-tasking

It's not easy to comment on other people's work especially if you know them well and you don't want to criticise the person but help them. After those few weeks, we have been thought about how to properly give feedback to people so they can improve from it and don't treat it as a negative thing. The feedback from other students should be like an inspiration for you to want to improve and make your project enjoyable for others rather than just yourself.

Most of my comments sounded helpful however some have been added a bit too late as I might already have moved on or had a specific thing done. The students really tried to help and had some good ideas however the majority of the time I felt like it is was too late as it would completely change my game idea which would be fine if I only started. It would be better if the feedback could be given much earlier. Despite this, I have considered some of the feedback I've received and changed my game a little.

The strategy of how the feedback was commented was good as each student pointed out what is interesting and what they like before giving suggestions or criticising the idea. I haven't received any bad or negative feedback, everyone wrote down their suggestions which I really liked and found helpful. Comments that pointed out what is good and interesting are the most helpful to me as I then know what I am doing good and what works out.

I try to have a read over what other people have commented on a person's blog to analyze other students writing. I get the sense that we all seem to be around the same level and maybe find it a bit difficult at times to comment on people's blogs without repeating the same topics or covering the same aspects that a previous comment might have already covered.

I think that this way of getting to know people through their blog is working out quite well and it is a good chance for us to check out who is in our year since we can't get to know each other in College. I feel like you get to know a little bit about the person by reading the introduction, however, it is not the same or nearly as good as if you meet the person face to face. The introduction points out how the person sees themself rather than how you see them. I do like the fact that we have a way of getting to know one another through blogging as we get more familiar with each other. 

I'm fairly happy with my blog, have received some positive feedback about its layout and colour theme. I like how everything is being presented and don't have any issues with it so I don't feel the need of having to change something. I feel that I should read through blog posts and projects that I find more interest in so I can provide the student with better feedback as I will engage with the post more and have more suggestion ideas.

Introduction to a Future Designer

 Introduction Hi pink figure Hi pink figure Hi so it has been a while since I first started the  Creative Digital Media course in College. This course has taught me so much and there is so much more to learn. It is a very creative and fun course. Year 1 was interesting and became very challenging when Covid entered. There was a lot of late night works and was filled with assignments but I did it and now I am in second year.  I'm looking forward to this module because I like games and always was interesting in some game designs but never decided to take on this task on my own with any help. I feel that this module will answer my question about game design and career in multimedia.   There were some really good tasks that I enjoyed and did very well in like photography which changes your point of view on everyday objects and for me it woke up my eye for photography. Image manipulation was a very fun and entertaining task as it allowed you to create something out of this world and it

Game Design

 Reading about Games Type of a game Image source After doing the reading, I realised that there is a lot more to games than just a good idea, plan and software tools. I think that the question in the first reading "what is a game" is an extremely hard question to answer because it can mean something different for everyone. The truth is that most things in our life that we interact with a lot will have a different meaning to an individual. For someone a game might be nothing more than just a little fun way to complete a level or task and move on to the next one. Gamers see it as being part of their life, their break from reality, a brain exercise etc. There are some people that don't find a big interest in games and will have an even more different opinion on "what is a game?" I myself like gaming, I do it often if I have the time however thankfully I never get obsessed which means I can play whenever I have time and still be have my chores done. In my case I wou

Game Vision Statement

My Game Vision A quick sketch of my game idea After some brainstorming and researching, I have decided on my game idea and now can start to look into it more in depth. Although my idea is based on the games below and it will have the same controls and very alike gameplay, it won't be the same game as "Coin Rush" for example because I will be making my own version of the game. My main goal is to make the game more fun and interactive for the players, I want to add some adrenaline and rush to my own version of the game to make it more entertaining but not frustrating.  In my version the player will be a ball of ice and will have to complete the laid out course on a platform before the ball melts in order to complete the game. The player will have to balance the ball and hit certain objects to get through to the finish line, however the game will be over once the player drops the ball, hits an object that will make it crash or if the ball melts before reaching the finish lin
