Looking at some Feedback Thoughts.

In this exercise I found two articles that can work for people how have some confidence issues or a self-critical brain. Self-Worth Self-worth, Self-esteem, Self-love Link  Here One of these is  'A Simple 5-Second Habit to Rewire Your Harshly Self-Critical Brain' After reading, think made me think about time I too thought I wasn't getting anywhere and that my learning abilities were being stunted by something. It also made me think of how I am now and to see if I can change myself for the better. The article goes about how you should treat your setbacks as nothing but temporary moments and nothing else. This is some good advice and can be used in any instance as the article depicts losing weight as an achievement of will power and keeping a promise to yourself. This leaves no room for looking down on yourself as you see it as a small victory time to progress. Another is  'Why Rejection Hurts so Much' This article describes how rejection can take place in ma...

Game Brainstorm For Project

Astronaut Photo Gateway to astronaut photography of earth link  Here Game 1: 3D First-person fighting game. I chose this type of game because I was inspired by games like 'For Honor',  Who have a very detailed way of handling melee combat as there are parries, blocking and counter-attacking in a fluid way that is realistic; It connects the player to the combat so they feel like they are in control and fight in a realistic manner, planning out moves, figuring out how its best to handle a player using a different class and if its worth it to fight them in the first place.  I want to try and replicate this in my games put from a first person perspective, as 'F or Honor', is a third person game. I feel that you would feel even more connected to the fight if you could see it 'through you're own eyes', so to speak. I'd like to learn how to create a great feeling in a game, how to make you feel that that you can put yourself into a game and still feel l...

Opinion on Unity Tutorial 1

Image
A fter following through with the Unity tutorials and having a bit of fun messing around with some of the controls, I've decided to give an opinion on the tutorial videos I used. Links  Here ,  Here  and  Here . Unity3D Logo Unity3D Game Developer Course Bundle MacTrast Deals Link  Here As I'm completely new to Unity, mostly everything I saw in the videos was new and from following along it became fun and enjoyable to mess around with. The first video went about starting up unity and going over some of the basic tools, like the terrain tool and how to insert assets like 3-D and 2-D shapes.  This came in handy while following along as figuring this out on your own would have taken a while. The Unity engine was really easy to set up and import assets for as shown in the videos and its very intuitive when choosing how you want the work space to look like. I really enjoyed how it felt to actually use a game engine where as my younger self would only dre...

Thoughts and Notes on Reading about Game Design

Image
A fter spending some time looking over some the articles and websites about game design, I can safely say that these where really interesting, without a doubt. While some where actual speeches like "Don't be a Vidiot" by  Greg Costikyan link  Here ,  About how game designers can learn from non-electronic games by looking at how the rules and how the game is presented. Stuff like this is really interesting as it can give us pointers on what and what not to do. Life is a game, This is your strategy guide by Oliver Emberton Link  Here One I found interesting was called "Pull the plug: In defense of non-digital teaching and learning" Link  Here   as it was about how new game developers/ students should use non-electrical games to teach ourselves about how we can build a game from a simple concept; Like a pack of cards, there isn't a game specifically there until rules are introduced and messing with these rules can lead to a prototype of a game...
