Multimedia Development Blog

Image that represents our game Sources Google images ; In this weeks blog, I will be discussing our GDD (Game Design Document) for our game that we are going to create. This was written by our project leaders: James Reynolds and Chris Carney, but we are all in the same big group so our GDD will be the same. My role will be displayed in the powerpoint video and what I will be contributing to this project. Our GDD is in PowerPoint form.  Introduction to our game: The game we are aiming to create is an open world 3D game about the 1916 Rising. We aim to recreate Dublin, researching pictures and footage from the time to help us. The game will be made in Unity and we will be using the plugin Fungus for the narratives Below is a video showcasing our GDD in PowerPoint form: Link to GDD video:   https://vimeo.com/325028075 Password: 19Sixteen Screenshot of GDD I talked to Chris and James about my role within the team and this is my role :  Asset Man...

Hey Guys!, Feeling Time Pressured Sources; Google images ; For today's blog I will be discussing my progress with the development of my game. Unfortunately I'm behind because I was busy doing other assignments all week and week end. The deadline for the group project is for today too. Therefore I haven't made much progress on my game. I have worked on it since the last blog but I'm still at the early stages of its development.         I hope that by the next blog regarding its development I will be much further along and I will be able to show you many screenshots displaying its design and functionality. I am having some difficulties with it such as getting it to work and show up in the game play mode. As I'm behind I hope that my game will be good enough to be finished in time. I can't wait to show you my progress when it's good enough to be showed.  (Update) I have made some good progress with my game so far. I have an intro scene screen and a...

In today's blog I will be discussing how happy or unhappy I am with the progress that I have currently been making in this module. I will go through how I'm handling this module and how I manage to get everything done efficiently and effectively. At the moment I think that I'm getting along quite well in regards to my current points that I have attained by participating in this module. So far if I keep going at the pace that I'm going with my points I will achieve 378 pints total and that means that I will receive a A and I can finish early too.           I'm on track to finishing early because I have done every blog post necessary as well as extra credit which, I did in my spare time. If we're talking about my progress with my game, then it wouldn't be as positive. This is because I simply don't have enough time or energy to work on it most of the time. There is a lot of assignments to do and sometimes they are due all at once. It can be tr...

In this blog I will be discussing comments and feedback that I have received so far and the comments on feedback that I have given. I will go through the quality of the feedback that I have received and the feedback that I have given to other students. I will also discuss my opinion on the feedback tasks that I have done so far as well.  Feedback In: I would say that overall I would rate the feedback that I received from the other students as quite good and highly rated. I get quite a good amount of comments on the majority of posts and the quality of those comments are good and helpful. I find that the comments that are the most useful would be the ones where you read them and you can tell straight away that they actually read my entire blog post and they didn't just skim through it or relied on what other people said and rehashed what they said but wrote it in a different way. The comments that are the most helpful for me personally is when th...

This week we had to reflect on how the reading and writing tasks have been going for us. Overall they have been going very well for me. I find them to interesting and easy to do. I never find the reading and writing tasks difficult but I do find them time consuming. I dislike that it takes me a while to write up one blog post for the reading and writing task for each week because I already have a lot of work to do every day therefore, it can become overwhelming at times to get the blog post finished in time.            So far I found reading through articles about developing games to be quite interesting and relevant to this module. I feel that those type of readings are quite informative because I gain a better understanding of the topic and I can apply what I learn to the creating and development of my game. I also enjoyed reading the 'mindfulness' articles and the 'growth mindset' readings. I found these to be interesting to read about because...
