Reading 2


Hello there, after a very good break I am back with the blogs for semester 2. This semester we are creating our own book. I had to pick 2 subtopics within a chapter. I choose chapter 11: creating the user experience, the 2 subtopics I have chosen are ' Input Devices' and 'Navigation Mechanisms'.
I hope I am doing this right as I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what exactly I have to do, so I am praying that I am doing this right.

I did research by googling these questions:
- How do you create good user experience?
-What is game input devices?
- What are some examples of game navigation mechanisms?
-What are some examples for user experience input devices?

I found out a lot of important information when I asked these questions and feel like I have gained a lot of knowledge on my topics and have a better understanding of them.

I am going to go to the college library and see if I can find any useful books there to get a better understanding on user experience.

These are some articles I found helped me a lot:

Who Is Aaron Hogan? My name is Aaron Hogan. I was born on the 1st of March,2000, which makes me 19 years old. I live in Clonsilla in Dublin 15. I went to primary school in St.Mochtas and went to secondary school in Castleknock Community College. I am currently in ITB in Blanchardstown studying Creative Digital Media, I am in year 2. I really enjoy the course and have found out new skills that i never thought I'd be able to do. First year was enjoyable and I made a good few new friends. My favourite module was Web Development as I found it interesting how much stuff goes on behind closed doors to make a website, and i also loved the feeling when you created your own website. Over the summer, I went to Portugal with my group of friends. It was the best holiday ever! Nothing better than being in the sun with your mates having a laugh and a few drinks around the pool.  I also went to a few festivals. The first one I went to was Longitude in Marley Park. I thought it was so goo...

Prototype This week I have thought more about my game. I've decided off many people suggestion it that I should include a time limit in my game to make it more fun and exciting for the player when their collecting the items. I felt like I was getting better with Unity when following the tutorials but when I try to start my game off by scratch, I felt like I was kind of lost about where I should even start. I spent a good while trying to get my character to look like how I want him too but I found it difficult. Over this week , I will like to have got everything sorted but I think I need a lot of time during this week to get all my items and character and setting sorted and ready to go. I have a picture of the items and obstacles I want to include into my game: An image of the items/character/obstacles I want to make on unity. I will work on my Unity extra hard this week to make sure I get everything I need done and I will add my progress into my blogs straight away.  ...
