Class Assignments!


Today’s Blog post will be talking about Class assignments, for

Online Assignments

this module to be exact. I like

the system Shaun has put out where we’re given a certain amount of tasks to do weekly and they’re spread across the week. I can’t do the same thing for hours straight, I’d get too bored or start to get distracted, so I really like the fact that I can do 2 or 3 of these tasks daily.


For this module I can tell I’m going to be using blogger more than ever, I’m glad as it’s not only an app that I’m familiar with but it’s also kind of fun to write about how I feel, I also really like that it’s informal.


How I feel when doing assignments


To start off each week I will have to do a reading task where I will be reading a material given to me by my lecturer, Shaun, and then writing about it. I’m not too sure what I will be writing about, perhaps a summary, but that doesn’t sound too hard and I guess can be enjoyable depending on the topic I will be reading about, so I look forward to this.


I will also be using a new app called Unity3D. This is a game design app with tutorials teaching how to design apps,

New App - Unity

basically. I very much so look forward to this, as it’s something I’ve never done before so it should be interesting, I just hope it’s not too confusing especially with HTML and CSS being involved, both of which I really hated using in web development last year, I actually thought I would never have to use coding ever again in my life but what did I know?😢


Blog comments, doesn’t sound hard at all, this is a nice and subtle way of communication between classmates. This way classmates will get to know each other more, see what they can relate to and more importantly see things from each other’s perspective.


Different and new apps

Projects, I’m assuming, once again, that this will have something to do with all the tutorials I complete on Unity and starting my own game. I don’t have much of an opinion on this yet because I don’t want to exceed my expectations when it comes to planning a game. I want to base it on my abilities rather than what I want to do, so I will wait and see what the tutorials are like.


Project feedback, this is in every course, very useful, it’s always nice to get feedback, I do really well when I receive feedback, I know what I need to better myself at, fix, get rid of, add more etc, feedback is always important whether it’s good or bad.


Overall, nothing seems too unmanageable and that’s what’s important to me, as long as I can manage, I can enjoy.

Introduction!

  My Introduction! Hello Everyone! I will be introducing myself in this  post so you can get to know me. My name is Lougein, I am 20 years old, I have one brother and one sister whom I both love very much, they're both younger than me. I work PART TIME in BoyleSports (the reason part time is in caps is because I am on an 8 hour contract but am doing 40+ hours every week 😔, me at work>>>>) So where do I start, lockdown? Before lockdown I was working 3/4 days a week whilst in college full time, I remember reading the news with my manager at work that the country was going into lockdown and as selfish as I may sound I was kind of glad, I needed a break from working all the time, since I never had a day off during the year, if I wasn't working then I was in college, balancing both work and college was really hard, but I did it! I couldn't be more proud of myself. So anyway, at the start of lockdown, everything felt so different, I went from being out every single d

Game Design!

Game Design! I never really understood how Games were made or how much work goes into Progress of Game Design making them, since I don’t really play games but after reading the articles I was assigned to read, I realised there was so much more to Game Design than what I thought there was. I gained an appreciation for it like I do for Art History, since the making of a game is an art in a way. Our Professor, Shaun,  provided us with many articles regarding Games/ Game Design. The first of them being What is a game? (by Ian Schreiber)   As I started to read and analyse the article, I quickly understood that it wasn’t as easy as just googling the definition of a ‘game’, which according to Google the definition of a game is ‘ an activity that one engages in for amusement or fun’, which made me laugh because I spent so long reading different articles on the definition of a game to read what Google’s literal definition was .  Although there is a definition for a game given by Ian, there are

Prototype!

Prototype! This week I’ve been working on the prototype for my game, I was keeping an open mind before starting this despite my lack of interest and enthusiasm for the game. When starting the prototype I had so much trouble with Unity, it was so frustrating, I kept restarting my laptop, it would work for a little while then shut down again. It got to a point where everything was deleted so that was really annoying but If I had more work done on my prototype I would have been angrier about that. For my prototype for this week, I worked on the homepage of the game. Prototypes
