Review Week Comments and Feedback

 Review Week Comments and Feedback





















Feedback In:

I think the overall quality of comments I've gotten out of my blogs are very good in the aspect of grammar and word count. I find it interesting hearing peoples opinions and feedback in a comment form because it allows them to get to the point and express concerns or other things freely. Some comments I've been finding useful are ones where people say that they really understood my GDD or other blogs that detail the structure of my game. It really lets me know that I have explained things well enough that the point is getting across without being too muddled with other topics. 

However on the other hand, the comments that I find even more useful are the ones that tell me that they were having trouble with understanding certain parts of my briefs. I think this is extremely useful and interesting because they make me realize how I can, not only be a little more concise with what I'm trying to convey, but how I should write more in a way that is more accessible to people without any prior Video Game knowledge or grasp on gaming terminology.

Feedback Out:

For the comments I have been leaving on other peoples posts, I think that I tried my best to read their blog posts as carefully as I can and then write something more engaging and directed to the person so they would like to hear what I have to say. I try to hit the various topics that need to be discussed but I also just like talking to the author of the blog and saying how I share similar interests or hobbies or that I think their dog is cute just so the comment doesn't feel so manufactured and robotic.

Blog Comments:

I think the blog comments are a good way of connecting with the year considering I moved to this year and never really got the chance to go around shaking hands with everybody. Reading so many peoples Introduction blogs was interesting because I could get to see how they express themselves and their characteristics. I think for my introduction blog post I could've focused more on talking about who I am and diving more into my hobbies and interests instead of talking about what my favorite basketball team was doing at the time. It's not too bad though but I'm jealous of all the peoples blogs I've seen where they included pictures of their dogs. I really want a dog so I could add him into my blog haha.

Looking Forward:

In future I think when doing feedback assignments I can look further into what the person is working on and try to act as part of their development team and try to give tips about how they could speed up development of certain parts of their game just to help streamline their process. I could also try to find someone who is maybe struggling with some part of Unity and offer advice as to how they could get past this little hiccup and encourage them not to totally give up because of a small error in their code. Finally I think that I might try include little design opinions here and there for their project, whether its aesthetics or mechanics, I could ask if they would consider other routes to make their game look better or play differently in the sake of functioning while still maintaining the fun aspect.

Introduction to a future somebody

Introduction Post   Hey, how are you? My name is Adam and welcome to my blog. This post will be focused around introducing myself so you get to know a little bit more about me! Me and some of my friends, sometime last year Early Life First off, my name is Adam Patrick Anthony Finn. I was born in the Coombe on March 5th, 2000. My Dad tried to name me Patrick after himself and my Grandad which would have made me Patrick Finn III but my Mam disagreed and I'm kind of grateful for that. Anyway, I grew up around a lot of family as we didn't have a lot back then. I would spend time at my Nana's while my parents worked and made enough money to move into our own house in Ardmore, Tallaght. (if you don't know where that is, it's right next to the lidls that got torn down during the Snowstorm in March 2018) After a while, my sister was born and we decided to move house on St. Patrick's Day 2006 and are now living in Lucan.  Hobbies & Music Taste Skipping ahead, I went

Vision Statement

 Vision Statement Introduction Roll-a-Mole is a fast-paced, top-down re-imagining of the classic arcade game Whack-a-mole.    Roll-a-Mole sets you, the player, in the ring to square off with those pesky moles that are destroying the arena and coming to take your title belt. You can't stand for this and that's why you launch into action rebounding off the ropes to come firing straight back into the action as you try to reach a High-Score and defeat the moles. -Whac-a-Mole, Arcade Game (1975) Background Whack-a-mole is a classic arcade game with physical components such as the mechanical moles that emerge from the holes and the hammer that the player uses to bash them away and gain points. This arcade machine has been taken and spun into so many differing concepts of the original but none have delved into the virtual side of gaming and truly reinvented the core mechanics of this classic video game whilst maintaining the same powerful nostalgia. Until now.  With a virtual edge add

I thought it was very intimidating at first and to be honest it still is intimidating, maybe even a little more so. Once I opened my project and began working I made a plane and a cube to start which I then scaled out to make a rough  boxing ring platform. I downloaded a boxing ring asset which had a weird platform but the ropes and the poles were okay so I used them with the project. I also imported some texture assets to add to the ropes and poles. I ended up changing their colours and smoothness. I went into illustrator to quickly mockup a texture for the surface of the ring that would also help guide me to put in the moles. I added holes and a boxing logo just for detail. I had to do some maths to figure out the dimensions of the pole
