Assignments First Impressions

Animation Gif


1. What assignments are you most intrigued by?

The first assignment that I am intrigued about is the Reading, because every task will have different contents that could change your perspectives about certain things. It could be a way to help me challenge myself more and see how far I go with my writing capability. I am also hoping that the reading topics are interesting. I'm also curious about Unity3D and I am excited to create my first game. Hopefully, the tutorials are straightforward and easy to understand so I won't have any problem doing the lab tasks during this semester.


2. Is there any extra credit options that grab your attention?

I like all the extra credit options because each of them has different content that could improve us, students, in many ways. For example, Tech-tasks makes you learn different kinds of web-based useful tools that could improve your technological skills. It can also make your blogs and posts more attractive to your readers.

I think Growth Mindset being an extra credit is a good thing because apart from giving us more points, it can also help use clear or minds and think about the ways we do things such as planning our college works. It also help us rethink our opinion about how we deal with failure that it is not a bad thing to fail because it meant that there are more things we would learn to improve and succeed on the next obstacle.

The extra credit that I like the most is the "Extra Commenting" option. I think this is the easiest way to earn more points because we can socialize with our friends around the class through blogging. This is also the best way to show our support to our friends by just commenting on their blog. We could also make new friends throughout the year by just visiting their blog site and might discover similar interest!


3. What kind of things are new/or not to you?

Giving feedback on other students' work is not new to me because we did it last year with our website development projects where we also gave each other tips and help so we could all improved our work. Blog commenting is not a new thing for me even though it has never been an extra credit before and that is the only new thing to me with it. I have never used Unity3d before as well so it could be a new challenge for me this semester. 


4. What kinds of thing you are more excited about?

I am excited to learn how to use Unity3D and create my own game. This project caught my attention since the beginning of the semester as I am fascinated with games and really want to learn the program behind them.


5. Do you like the way the course was divided (with extra credit and tasks)?

Yes. Dividing the course like this is a good idea for students because we have many options to gain credit for this module. Everyone have different things they can excel in, and I think dividing the tasks like this are one of those. What I also like about this distribution is that extra credit is easy, and some tasks can be challenging so it gives the module balance.


6. What do you feel/think about giving other students feedbacks?

I think that giving other fellow students feedback can be very helpful because everyone has different skills and perspectives about the projects that are given to us. Some advices and critiques can change everything.

Introduction to a future Animator 😁

If you've been reading my blog post since the day I started, you have read my first introduction. However, I haven't really talked about myself. So in this post, I will along with questions from the tasks we have given. 😁 My photo from last year First of all my name is Flosie Jane Sazon, I am currently a 2nd-year student studying Creative Digital Media at the  Technological University of Dublin located in Blanchardstown Campus. I'm 20 years old (even though I don't look my age 😂) and I have been living in Ireland since I was 13. This course wasn't actually my first choice even though I love art. My first choice was something about business and language which was way different from what I'm doing now, but I'm really happy that I'm doing what I love. Even though there were a lot of times convincing my parents but everything went well in the end.😂😂 What was the best class you took last semester? why? Even though I enjoyed Web Development and Design Proc...

Game Idea Research

Maze  Inspiration Last week, I started to collect some game ideas and talk about what we like about them. However this week, we have to choose on out of all the game ideas we picked. The game that I decided to do is similar to "Roller Splat!" but in 3D instead because that is the type of game we are learning in Unity. I think that it will be helpful as I can utilize the skills that I learned from the tutorials to my project instead of studying another type of game. I will have more time to develop my game better if I stick to 3D style as well. Choosing this type of game is also a good starter, especially for people who want to make a game for the first time like me. My game will also be played in a first person point of view means that the camera of will be placed at the back following the ball inside the maze. While doing my secondary research, I find countless of game tutorials on YouTube that are related to the idea I am going for. Most of them are also made in Unity which...

Exploring Game Design

Inspiration image about discovering new things We started this week's tasks by reading articles about defining what a game is to a more detail and in depth explanations.  I used to define "game" as one or multiple players who works together to complete certain tasks with a set of rules that they must follow whether they win or lose. However if I put more thoughts into it, the definition gets more profound and brings me more in depth about what a game truly is. As I read though the first article that was talking about particular definitions of what a game is depending on how much interaction they have with it. For example, the more interest they have about games the more knowledge they can share with people. There is an interpretation from the article that I like based on a book called "Rules of Play" by Katie Salen and Eric Zimmerman. They explained that games are a "system in which players engage in an artificial, defined by rules, that results in a quanti...
