Review week Comments and Feedback

To start I would like to say that the overall feedback from my blogs, project and assignments have been mainly positive and useful. When looking over the comments for my Game idea Research blog, they all seem to be fairly similar in the sense of people either agreeing with me when I say that I didn't want to try attempt something completely out of my skill range and that the idea of a 3D platformer is a good one as it can be kept simple and doesn't require a lot of detail like a game such as an RPG. Also it was nice to see people try connect with me on a personal level in the likes of telling me that they liked some of the same modules as I did last year or when referring to my into blog where I mention I'd like to travel after college, some people telling me that is what they want to do as well. I am finding the comments which refer to my project idea the most helpful as it's almost reassuring me that choosing to make a 3D platformer was a better idea rather than choosing one of the other options mention in my game brainstorming blog.

I feel that the quality of comments that I am leaving students is average to say the least. Now I do believe I am leaving useful comments that the other students could find beneficial but I do believe that I need to further expand on my meaning in my comments as I feel that I may just be meeting a sixty number word count. However I don't think that my comments are completely wasted as I do make some interesting points in some that I believe the person that I've left the comments for will enjoy or find beneficial in what ever way they can.

I believe that through my blogs, I have been able to get a better understanding of some people who have left comments on it. For example in my introduction post, I mention that I recently got back into Gaelic again and a comment was left saying staying active is important, which tells me that this person maybe an active person, they also mention that they want to travel after college like I did, so I do feel that through the blog I was able to develop a sense of connection between other people. I am happy with how my introduction blog and my overall blog provides a space for where I can connect with people and listen to their opinion on any work that I do, how it could be improved or what people liked about it.

I feel that I need to put more effort into my own feedback to others so that they can benefit the same way that I have benefitted from receiving feedback from others so that I know where I need to improve and where I have done well in. Other than that I feel that the blogs themselves are coming along fine due to the feedback which I keep receiving from others.

Introduction Post

  My favourite module from last semester was web development 2. I liked this module as it was interesting and allowed me to be as creative as I wished., it let me design a website to explain social media tools for someone only learning to use them in a way I felt let me fully express myself and use the skills that I had learned to make such a website as easy as possible to understand. My biggest accomplishment last semester was making a movie using drawings to set the scenes and having myself talk over it. I felt that this was my biggest accomplishment as I didn't have access to the college to acquire equipment or could talk face to face with my lecturer if I got stuck. I just had to keep going with what I thought was the right thing to do and eventually I got rewarded with my work. In my spare time I like to play hurling for me local GAA team, I've recently joined back after a few years of not playing so I am a little bit stiff and rusted at it. I have also started doing muay

Game Idea Research

 After thinking carefully about the choice, I have decided to choose to make a 3D platformer game. I ended up deciding to make a 3D platformer as I believed that it would be the most fun, but also the easiest for me to make as I've never made a game before and I don't want to start off with something big like an RPG that'll be to0 time consuming, also I have plenty of examples of great platformers that I can get inspiration from. In my game I plan to include specific game mechanics, which I feel are good to be in this game. My first game mechanic to include will be the ability to double jump. Most games in today's world include the ability for the character to be able to jump and then jump again while in mid-air, this has become an almost vital game mechanic as it allows players to reach areas that may seem out of reach. The double jump ability has become a staple of modern gaming, as it appears more now than maybe in the early 2000's. Another game mechanic that I w

Game Brainstorm

 For my brainstorming I thought back to when I was younger and played games on websites on sites like Kongregate or Miniclips , these games where very fun but also where never extremely complicated looking, usually where kept very simple. My first game idea is that of a game similar to the I mpossible game . The Impossible game was a 2D game where the player controlled a block and had the action to either jump over the obstacles of choose not  to jump as it may cause you to die if you do so. The game is renowned for being difficult (as the name tells us) and this factor will benefit me as if the game is very difficult and I am able to  imitate the difficulty, I then won't require a lot of levels in the game as if people can't get past the levels there would be no point in having loads of  levels. Now as you can see from the picture of the Impossible game, that it appears to be 2D, I however will make my game in a 3D format, so using my experience from my unity lessons, I thin
