Week 9 Reading & Writing

Hi Guys,

Welcome back to my blog, as it is week 9 of the semester we are now half way through - isn't that bloody crazy! Feels like is was only September yesterday 😓 but I am going to talk about how I think i'm getting on in this module so far while trying to juggle everything else this year keeps throwing at me! So here goes.....

Overall I am really enjoying reading different articles, I haven't missed any of the readings yet as I have been trying my best to keep up to date with them. I have enjoyed some of them but being dyslexic reading is like my worst nightmare, I always have to read it twice to understand exactly whats the person is trying to explain so that is very time consuming but the one thing these readings have me doing is actually reading... I never read, I always put it off as I find it difficult so even though it takes some time I am enjoying it.
The reading which I most enjoyed was probably one of the first readings I done in this module which was https://www.careerexplorer.com/careers/video-game-designer/ when I read back over this blog post I have realized how much I have learnt about games since then. What I liked about this article is how it is very easy to read and has good detail and information which you and clearly understand. 

The writing part... well thank god for auto-correct as my spelling is atrocious!! But then again I am loving writing these blogs, I follow A LOT of bloggers on Instagram so by writing my own blogs I feel like I am one of them (even if it is writing about something I am not very interested in) (sorry Shaun😆😂😂) But also by writing these blogs I feel like my typing is getting faster, I am using words and putting sentences together that I would of never done before so overall its a bit of a win win!

After nearly having a breakdown because I was putting myself under so much pressure and stress I am now finally happy with how my game is going. Because I was over thinking it and trying to make it amazing I forgot about how I was physically going to do everything under such a short time frame! But thank god I sat down with Shaun and had a chat and he gave me reassurance that I was doing okay.

My favorite image that I have used in my blog posts is this one
I just find this picture so funny as this was my face for so many weeks on end of how to understand unity. I just could not get the hang of it until one day it just clicked and I realized that the assets store was going to be my best friend!

Looking forward.... I think if I just keep going the way I have been going I will pass this module. If I keep on top of the blog posts and keep ticking away at unity by Christmas I will be finished and hopefully happy with my final product!

Anyway guys, hope you enjoyed reading my blog.

Chat soon!

Reading 5 - Conducting & writing my analysis!

Hey guys, For the readings this week I am starting to write my analysis. After looking through my matrix and the significance of each of them I will be writing about the similarities of each of the articles that I think will be important to use.   I have be looking at my sub topics in more depth and looking for more relevant information that can be used to write my chapters. This weeks reading has taken a bit longer then it should as I think its important that I fully understand what I am looking at and what I am using to conduct my analysis.  What I have learnt from narrowing things done is that a lot of articles I have read and saved onto my computer are all repeating the information which I need, this means to me anyway that them documents are essential for my analysis.  (Update) After speaking to Shaun this morning, I am starting to feel more confident in my topic, I am aware that I need to work more on my matrix for my second topic which I am ...

My First Game Brainstorm.

https://www.123rf.com/photo_83383233_close-up-of-notepad-with-creative-brainstorm-sketch-and-colorful-pencils-brainstorming-concept.html Hi Guys, Welcome back to my blog, in today's blog post I will be telling you guys about my ideas for my video game. When I think about making a game I think it needs to be a game that everyone will enjoy. After having a look around the internet I know have a good idea of what my four possible games could be. Game 1:  For my first game I would like it to be similar to The Sims 4. The Sim was first released back in 2000. It has many different versions of the game which has made this game the "best selling video game series of all time". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sims  . I have always like the idea of being able to build your own imaginary life on a video game, from personalizing your characters, to building your own houses/business, to earning money, to having relationships/friendships within this video world. I would ...

Introduction to me being me!

I never know how to write about myself. I always feel so embarrassed and I don't know why😅 Like last year when Margret asked us to do a video about ourselves, I wanted to cry as I never know what to say about myself without sounding big headed! So here comes the cringe fest.... My name is Elizabeth, I am 23 years old and I was born and bred in Maynooth. It is a nice a place but now its just full of college students who are taking over (I know i'm a college student but these people are from the country you know)😂.           I still live at home with my mum and recently my boyfriend Dan has moved in with us as well. I have a sister Meaghan who is getting married next year to her fiancee Lesley. In the last couple of years we have also gotten in contact with my half sister, so our family just keeps on growing which is great.  We are a very close family and I wouldn't have it any other way. I am very lucky to have such amazing people to be there for me ...
