(image of my Dundoc design model) This week I started to create my Game Design Document and have wrote up some of the basic things I need to include in it. Starting off I was a bit lost on what to write but I was able to get through it by using a template on Dundoc and looking at other examples to get a better understanding. having to write the Game Design Document gave me a clearer end goal and direction to my game where I was able to define things such as the characters back story and some more way to add a twist to the game such as actually being able to win the game if you get far enough from the tornado.

This week I read 2 articles about Feedback for Learning. These were: - Neil Gaiman's advice on the creative life - A fixed mindset could be holding you back I found these two articles very useful and insightful and I love their approach and mindset of how receiving feedback should be! Reading through the first article about Neil Gaiman's advice on the creative life I was intrigued by his advice of no matter how tough things are, just go and make good art. That no matter what you're going through be it good or bad you can go and make some good art out of it.

I really like this mindset and I'd want to implement it in my life more. The second ar...
Image depicting reflection, source In this weeks reading blog we are reflecting back over this semester. Overall for myselft, it wasn't the easiest or best semester. It wasn't that easy juggling all my modules and work at the same time and I feel like I should've given more time to this multimedia module, it was where my least focus was this semester and I do regret missing out on learning about and doing the reading tasks properly as they are a great skill to have. Nonetheless, I have to keep moving forward and I'm glad I was at least able to use this module to improve on my game development skills with Unity. This has helped especially with my group project as we were making a game. Looking over the book that the class has now completed, it was great to see the amount of detail gone into it and how everyone that really tried did improve on their academic writing skills.
