Planning for my Topic

 

Screenshot of my Refworks

I have done a little research about my topic "The relationship between the gamer and the avatar" which I am finding very interesting. I am happy that I have changed my topic and like my new choice more. I have already come across some videos and articles on Google Scholar by having a quick look. I think this is going to be a fun topic to explore and discuss. 

I have started with setting up my account on Refworks and our College library to get prepared for next week's research. In RefWorks, I have created a folder for this module where I will be putting in all my research and keeping track of the papers and research. I went over some settings and explored the tool to familiarise myself more with the page.   

I know I will have to do much deeper research for my topic in the library because many resources that I have found are about games in general or about coding. I  will definitely be looking at the library resources in greater detail. It was much easier to find articles and many different resources on Google Scholar which seems to have a greater focus on my topic and pays more attention to it than the resources in the library. I'm hoping to find something relevant to my topic in the library for research.

Keywords for my topic:

Player&Avatar
Character
Avatar
Gamer relationship
Player relationship
Avatar relationship
Connection
Emotion
Bond
Game design
Effect

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 ...

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 Design Document

  About my GDD Document Overview sketch of my game idea  Close up sketch of my game idea Link to me GDD  My GDD Document Dundoc I found the document fairly hard to start as I wasn't sure if I am putting in enough information and whether or not I lack a lot of content. I decided to try to make a game design document on Dundoc. It took some time to get to know the website but I managed to learn the basic steps very quickly. I like how Dundoc offers you two different templates that help you out to begin.  I have started some work on my Game Design document on Dundoc. I have set up my account and proceeded to work. To help visualize my game more and make it easier for myself to explain, I have drawn some game sketches. I have applied colour to some to show what colours I am hoping to use in the game. In the Dundoc, I picked the most important and obvious headings and in those heading, I have explained my game design and provided the sketches in the image section. I have ...
