Game Decisions

 Game Decisions 

While reading the articles and video for week 7 readings I found it interesting in the first reading about how it takes time to learn new skills and at how like photoshop it takes 12 months for a basic level while this can be seen the same way in apps while in games you can become a lot better a lot sooner. It talks of how complex apps can be while with games you can lose a certain feature and it makes it a-lot simpler task at hand that must be complete and you find it easy to understand and can achieve it. This made me think a lot about myself playing games and using apps as when I played games I enjoy it and although it may frustrate me at times I learn and keep on playing while with apps I see that it not only takes a long time but you've to follow a boring video and for example photoshop in particular if your using that and its not working it'll takes ages for you to learn as your constantly getting frustrated at it. 

Learned Skills In A Game

While reading the second article i thought at the start that it was just gonna complain about gaming like so many other articles have in the past and at how its and for you but it talked about both the benefits and the negatives and I found it quite interesting as it talked about how many people played games and one quote I found really interesting is when it says "Children can use the gaming to escape from unpleasant truths and to compensate for their perceived disabilities and non-acceptance of their real life." this tells us its like a getaway for some people an escape for them to something better. 

After watching the video for Week 7 reading I found it interesting on how they talked about the flow in game design. It talks of the flow channel and how if it is too easy it'll lead to boredom while ion its too hard it'll lead to anxiety and anger which I found really interesting so that it should be right in the middle creating a flow between the two.

 Beta This week on my project I have most of my visuals added and have my player movement fully working as well as my boundaries working well and are able to keep the player in the boundaries of the game as well and also while the boundaries took a while to complete there was satisfaction on completing them and getting them fully working. Ive also managed to complete my enemies script and have the player being chased by the enemies of the game as well which also I struggled with greatly and ran into a lot of problems such as the player not following the main player and tried videos on unity but non seemed to work and also referred back to the Unity Tutorial 4, I also looked at scripts online but just all together didn't work and just none seemed to work. I have the main bases of the game working such as the main camera following the player as well as the player being able to move. I also have the player being kept in the boundaries of the game which works well and I have my graphic...

Introduction to a future Graphic Designer

 Introduction Post  My name is Samuel Carroll and I am twenty years old I am currently studying in TUD Blanchardstown and am in year two of Creative Digital Media. I enjoyed all my modules from year one but the one that I liked the most would have to be Design Process and Practice as I really enjoyed using Adobe Illustrator and enjoyed completing the different tasks that we were given each week and getting to learn more about Illustrator as the weeks went on. My favourite part of the module would have been the Film Poster assignment which we had to use the film we had chosen based off our website from Web Development in semester one. My website was based off Wes Anderson the film director so I chose his film 'The Grand Budapest Hotel'. While designing our film poster we did a discover, define, develop and deliver phase for the poster putting our ideas together and narrowing it down to our final piece. This overall took about five to...

Game Design

 Game Design While reading the first article I found out at how hard it can be to actually give a definition to a game and that if you tried make a definition of yourself that it can be as the article says"Imperfect". Although it is hard we do know what is in a game such as it says in the first article "rules, story, action" while this is true it can also contain horror, drama and many other topics. While reading further on the the Reading One article I found at how you compare games to other games in the industry like for example you could compare Call Of Duty to Battlefield and so on. From reading the article I found it interesting on how simple it is actually to make a game which I created myself on a piece of paper that took less then fifteen minutes. You really think it's hard to make a game until it can be done rather simply even if it is a basic game. What I also found very interesting was the Games Defined section of the reading where it says" Games...
