Reading 10

So I have finally gotten to making a reading task blog.. Yes, I know im very far behind on it and honestly feel like I've let myself down and could've tried that little bit more, but nonetheless, I'll try what I can for this last stretch. For this week's task I made two digital resources in forms of posters on my topic of the game world's dimensions and also an author's bio for my would be writing project.

Image of my poster

This first Poster shows the player, controlling a ball, falling of the platform. This shows what a game should not have unless on purpose (for example in mario), there should be a barrier set in place to not run the risk of the player falling in an area of nothingness and the player should also try to keep to the boundaries set in place.

In in my second poster, I show a player that is stuck in a very small map with no indication of where to go, how to progress and is very limited in his/her movement. A game developer should make sure that the player has the necesary dimensions implemented to be able to complete the game and even roam around if that's a possibility. 

This is what I prepared for my Author's Bio:

Fineas Nedelea is a 2nd year student at the Technological University of Dublin, Blanchardstown studying Creative Digital Media. He has skills in Illustrator, Photoshop, Video and Sound editing, Web Development and Game Design & Development. He is a big fan of games like League of Legends, Minecraft and Valheim, including the likes of GTA V and text based games like Torn.

Introduction to a future [Please Enter Career]

Hi all! Just want to write an introduction to who I am and a few things about me. College Life  One of my favorite classes that I took last year was Website Development. I found it enjoyable and interesting to learn all about developing websites from scratch using HTML and CSS. I put my time and effort in and feel like I came out of the module with some good Websites. I feel like this year, while in my 2nd year of this course, I will really enjoy Website Design as I'll learn more about building websites and add on to what I know already. One of my biggest accomplishments of last year was learning a lot of skills like building websites, learning how to use Illustrator and Photoshop and creating video's from my own content. I found it enjoyable and was excited to learn these skills and can't wait to accomplish more using these skills in the future. My goals for this module is to learn more about multimedia, using different platforms available such as Twitter and blogging. Ano

Game Idea Research

  (image of 3 characters  from subway surfers,  source ) For my game idea I will stick to a game that is similar to how subway surfers is. I've played a lot of Subway Surfers when I was younger and am well accustomed to their game mechanics and would like to try to make something similar. The first game mechanic that I would like to have is to make or generate an endless track that only stops when the player hits an object and losses for example. This would mean that I don't have to make each individual part of the track and only a frame for it. A second game mechanic that I would like to have are obstacles and objects that the character has to avoid. These can come in many shapes or forms such as objects you just have to dodge, ones that you can jump over and possibly some that you can slide under if I can figure out a way to make the player slide. Another obstacle I could have would be to make an object come towards the player. A third game mechanic that I would like to have

Game Design

This week for our Reading Task we read the following: What is a Game, Anyway? The organic nature of game ideation Four basic methods for generating ideas When it comes to what a game might be, a definition I have come across in my readings is 'A play activity with rules that involve conflict' which is an easy way to put it. In fact it is more complicated than that especially when you compare different game styles. To get a solid meaning of what a game might be, you have to be using the same vocabulary across all games, which is still being defined as new games come out and new words are added.  To put simply these are some of the definitions when it comes to games: Games are an activity  Games have rules, conflict, goals and involve decision making.  Games are artificial, safe and outside of ordinary life.  We, as players gain no material gain And many more When it comes to game ideation, from the paper that I read, the interviewees have seen game ideas differently,
