Week 8 Comments and Feedback

Overall, the quality of comments and feedback I received from other students has been positive. All of the comments left on my blog were really friendly and useful. I found the comments on my game blogs the most useful. It allows me to find out what other people think of my game. I like reading other peoples comments because they leave suggestions on how my game could be improved. I also like reading through other peoples comments because it gives me a chance to reflect on my work. 

In my opinion, I have left good quality comments and feedback on other students blogs. I try putting thought into each of my comments because I know how useful it can be. The WOW and TAG feedback strategies have been very helpful to me. I use these strategies to help structure my comments, especially the longer 150-word comments. I'd recommend these feedback strategies to people who are struggling with writing longer, detailed comments because they can almost be used as a guide. 
Analyzing other students writing has given me a few ideas for my own writing. I get a better idea of how other peoples blogs look compared to my own. I also get to see different types of writing styles from my own.

Reading other students blogs has definitely helped with getting to know them better. I found introduction posts the best way to learn more about them. The introduction blogs also helped me to learn more about students I talk to on a daily basis. I'm happy with my introduction post because it was a nice way to start my blog. I'm also happy with my introduction blog because it's my most commented on one.  It provides a nice way for people to get to know me and for me to know them. It's cool when I get comments from people with similar interests to me because I feel like I can relate to them.

Looking forward, I would like to comment more on peoples blogs who have similar interests to my own. I think this would be useful for me and for other students because you can relate more to them.  In my opinion, you're more likely to talk with students from the blog in real life who have similar interests to your own.

Overall, writing comments has helped me learn about other students in the course. It has also helped me to find out what other people think of my work. I'm happy with the blog posts and with how my blog looks. If I was to make any changes, it would be to include more blog posts about ourselves, similar to the introduction blog.

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
