Week 9 Reading and Writing

At first I wasn’t sure if the reading and writing assignments were going to help me that much, but I was actually surprised as doing them weekly has actually made me remember quite a lot of topics that were covered, and writing my thoughts on blog posts each week helped me remember them. So overall, so far, I am happy with the reading and writing tasks.

Games MDA and Games Decisions are my favourite readings so far they thought me a fair amount about game design and different steps that designers take or keep in mind when they are creating a game and I like that because I always want to focus on learning more about game design as it’s a career I am very interested in working in the videos were very entertaining and me personally I much prefer audio learning then visual learning and a lot of the YouTube videos we have watched I actually went onto their channels and subscribed to  them so I can watch more in the future as anything game design interests me a lot so that’s why these two posts were my favourite so far.

My reading notes help me with my game creation because I remember key points and information that was made about game designing and try to put myself into the players' perspective, and a lot of things I learned about start coming back to me, which I’m glad they do because it’s making me think about all the things I want to include and create in my game.

So far working on my game project has been a blast and every week I keep thinking and adding more things into it and I can’t wait to polish off the finishing touches if I get a chance I want my game to look very nice for the Final submission but of course all my game has to function perfectly before that can happen but I am really enjoying creating my own game and it all being up to me how I want it to play and look which is awesome because I don’t need to work around anyone it’s my own creation and I look forward to keep working towards finishing it.

My biggest accomplishments for this class are how much I have gotten used to Unity and its interface. I am delighted with that, and also with all of the knowledge I have gained and expanded on with game designing, which so far has been my main aim in this module as I have been looking forward to this module since I joined this course.

This is my favourite image throughout my blogs so far because it reminds me of the start of this module and how much I have learned and it feels really nice and good to know that I have gotten a lot out of this module and I am not even finished it yet.

I feel I have done what I need to during all of these reading and writing tasks but I think one of the most important things and especially if you are into this kind of stuff as a career take your time and take in the information in front of you because it will benefit you in the future.
