Time to explore more in Technology Tools & Course Websites~

Image that I with an inspiration quote from Pinterest.

Another day, another blog!

Today, I will be talking about the tools that I explore about technology tools and course websites from our task.

It's time to answer more questions 😪

Me: A sad cat gif sighing for more work.

1. Are you already familiar with some of these technology tools?

Yes. I am already familiar with Pinterest as I am using this website to get good quality images. I mostly look for images as an inspiration from Pinterest and I also use them to my blog posts and other presentation projects for my other modules.

Even though I am not familiar with the image editing program examples from our tasks, I still edit my photograph images and edit them to use for my blogs and when I am practicing my editing skills.

Instead, I use Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator because that are the software we mostly used for college and I am more familiar with them.

The image that I used today was quickly made in Illustrator.

2. How is the online environment like/unlike what you have experienced in other classes?

I find it easy to do my work in this module than my other classes because everything is in order and already well planned before the semester began. Unlike most of other classes where we still have to try and figure out what we will be doing every week and it can be stressful sometimes. The tasks for this module are also very flexible which I prefer rather than have a specific due dates.

3. Are any technical skills that you really want to work on this semester?

One of my goals this year is to enhanced my editing skills and coding as they are my weakness. I am also a bit worried about academic writing as I am not sure I could pull it off but we will see as the days go by. Hopefully I will learn a lot this semester!

Thank you again for reading my blog post! Hope to see you on the next one!👋

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...

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 Elements

Textured background with a text. Link This week's reading task is about game elements where we have to explore more important vocabulary that we could use and also consider if we are starting to build our game project. The first written document that I read was analyzing the qualities of games. It started to give a quick summary about the definition of a game and all of main qualities can be simply called as "Formal Elements" also known as "Atomic Elements of Games" . They are the smallest parts of a game that can be studied individually. Here are the 10 Atomic elements: Players Objectives (goals) Rules Resources/Resource Management Game State Information Sequencing Player Interaction Theme (Setting, Narrative, Backstory) Game as Systems After reading each explanation about these elements, I started to understand how important it is to follow this because every one of them has a special role in our game. The whole game could change if we just adjust/remove a...
