Week 9 Reading and Writing

 Today I will not talk to you guys about articles or videos. I will talk to you about my experience with this course. This blog will include things like what was my favorite reading, my biggest accomplishment so far in this class and what I think of the reading task.

So to start off with my favorite reading this semester. I really enjoyed the reading task from week 3. Those articles and the video were about what is a game. I really enjoyed this reading task as I found it interesting. It made me understand what a game is made out of, the purpose of a game and how people working in this industry see it. 

Moving onto my game project. I have a mixture of feelings about it. Thinking of me making a game and doing the Unity tutorials got me very excited about the idea but actually starting it I wasn't so excited about the idea as I found it harder than I thought and I'm worried about how far I can go with this in the period of time I have. I still want to do the best I can and I won't give up but I really underestimated how easy all this is.

My favorite Unity tutorial was the one we done in week 7.

I really enjoyed this as we got to add animation effects from jumping, running and when the player collides with the obstacles. We also got to add sound effects and music. This is one part if my game project I haven't thought of at all. So doing this tutorial was very beneficial and fun for me.

I'm looking forward in finishing my game and see how far I got with it. I really hope I will get to achieve what I was expecting. If that won't happen I will make sure I do better in our next semester. 

That's it from me. I hope you enjoyed my writing. We are getting closer and closer to our Christmas break and I think we all need a little break from online learning. 

See you later during this week,

Denis.

Reading 09

Hi all. This week we have focused on fixing our papers. This was challenging as I find it hard write academically. I am glad to get the chance to improve my writing. For this week I have rewritten my introduction and conclusion as I believe they weren't good. I also fixed up my paragraphs where I found mistakes.  I am pretty happy with how it is at this moment and I am happy to continue on with my weekly tasks after Easter break. I hope everyone will enjoy this break as we all need it. Thank you, Denis.

Doing Reading 05

This week we have broken down my research articles into 6 themes. We had to break down our writings into sentences to shorten it down to find the themes. I have done that before doing my own writings. I found shortened the articles into sentences to help me develop them in my own words. Using those notes I have and rereading my writings I came down to the following themes. The link between Game Progression and Engagement Automating Game Progression Difficulty balance within levels What is Game Progression (Key Elements) Implementing education (eg. chemistry) within game progression The difference between Progression and Emergence Those themes and note will help me write my own bibliography.  I will see you all new week. Thank you, Denis.

Technology

 Good evening. I'm back! This week I found out about some tools we will be using throughout  this semester. So far I can say I'm really excited to create graphics using canvas, cheezburger and so on. I can't wait to figure out which of those will work the best with my workflow.  I think trying out Wordpress will be good. I like the idea of trying out different tools as you never know which works best for you until you try it out!  There's a picture of the first dinner I had in Crete. I hope your craving pizza now! Because I am... See you next week! Or later on today.. Bye, Denis.
