The reading and writing assignments have gone ok for me. It's very difficult to keep up with all the blogs because we have to write about everything. I think this could affect some of my blogs up to the end of the semester. I'm not too worried though because I've submitted all blogs on time so far and even did some extra credit work.
My favorite reading so far was about making games cozy. I found this really interesting because I've often been playing a game and felt this feels really cozy. It was cool to learn about the different tricks games use to create this cozy feeling for players. Most of the reading notes have helped me with my game. They're nice to refer back to when looking for some inspiration. I have not discovered any new reading/ research strategies. I usually write down notes for myself before beginning a blog. I find it helps me to write my blogs faster and it's always nice to have a paper copy. I'm happy with my game project but I'm worried the coding might be a problem for me. My biggest accomplishment in this class is keeping up with every single blog so far.
I chose this image from my week 6 reading blog. I like this image because it perfectly defines how a cozy game location should look in my opinion. eg. dim lighting, familiar cozy materials. Everyone likes to feel cozy, so I feel everyone can relate to this image.
Looking forward, I want to look at more articles that go into detail about video games. I find it interesting reading articles that give tips and tricks about making games. I also want to look at some interviews from game devs. I think it's a good way to gain a better insight into the minds of professional game designers. Watching interviews will also teach me a lot more about games. I'll gain inspiration from looking at other peoples work.
I've definitely forgotten some of the things that I learned so far. I need to read over my notes about game design so my mind is refreshed. I also want to watch some of the Unity tutorials again that I found a little difficult. My game uses a lot of what we learned in the Unity tutorials so it will be helpful to re-watch some of them.
Overall I'm learning a lot and enjoying it. I think it's cool were learning about games because I've personally always loved them. A little revision is needed to make sure I get through the coding part of my game. It will probably slow my games development if I don't.
