My Thoughts About Technology Tools For This Class

I think all the class tools for this module will come in handy at one point or another, my favourite tool so far being "Blogger". I like blogging because it gives me the chance to not only improve my writing skills but also chance to reflect back on what I have learned so far. Blogging allows me to see other peoples opinions about the module and what they find useful or not.

Bookmarking pages has proved very useful to me, making it easier and faster to find my previous work. I have bookmarked pages in a browser folder but haven't used Pinterest yet as a bookmarking tool because I feel the folder on my browser does the job for now.

I haven't used "Padlet" in any of my classes yet, but I have had a look on the website and it appears useful as you can group your ideas together in separate boards. It also looks like a tool you can get creative with because you can change backgrounds and colours to your own preference.

The image editing and graphics creation tools are something I have some experience with but they'll definitely help with making my work look more professional.

This week I've played around with "Unity3D" as well. I think there's a learning curve to this program but nothing I should struggle with too much because of my interest in games. As a "gamer", game development was something I've always wanted to try. I'm not particularly familiar with this program but I am familiar with what "Unity" creates - games.

I am still getting familiar with some of the online tools but like what I've seen so far. The online work environment has gone ok for my first week, all I need now is to improve on some technical skills such as coding which is required for "Unity3D".

Introduction Into My (Awesome) Life

The names Conor, and in this blog I want to tell you a little about myself. I'm 20 years old and have lived in Dublin my entire life. I am currently a second-year student studying "Creative Digital Media" in Blanchardstown. I really enjoy my course and plan on getting a job in this industry when I get my degree. I'd describe myself as a determined and hardworking person who loves a good laugh. After working hard in year one it's safe to say I learned a lot. The best class I took last year was photography. I loved that this module required us to go outside to take photos because it offered a nice break from working inside all day. Although I liked most of my modules last year, I found modules that involved film or photography to be the most enjoyable. My goal for this year is to continue working hard and improve on my work. Speaking of working hard, we all need a break every now and again. Over the break, I took the opportunity to travel to several countries, i

Final GDD

This week's blog finalizes my game design document. I further developed my document this week by adding a lot more detail and some code. I looked at different Youtube videos to find code that I will need to make my game. I plan to finish the game a week early so it leaves time to test for bugs and or any other changes. I want to develop the game environment first so I can focus on the coding side of things. I want to focus more on the coding because it's more important than the visuals for this assignment. It will also require more of my time because I find coding to be the most difficult part of game development. I can use some of the same code in Unity tutorials for my game, so I only needed to research code for my games HUD, main menu, countdown timer, and gem counter. After finalizing my GDD document this week, I started prototyping a map for my game. I imported some of the assets from the Unity tutorials and changed the textures the look of the textures using photosho
