Reading 6

Reading 6

This week for reading 6 task I had to do the body paragraphs. My week this week was difficult. I am finding this semester work to be hard and I feel like I need to go back to some weeks and add loads to them because I feel like due to them not having much work and research over them makes the rest of the weeks harder. 

 My two topics are Navigation Mechanisms and Game input Devices. I feel like these are hard enough to get much research to link to each other. I just feel like I am doing the research wrong and feel overwhelmed by not getting enough work done. 

 Next week, because we have a free week I am going to go back to past weeks and add more to them and do much more research because I know I have not done enough because I am finding this semester much more difficult compared to last semester. I find it hard to do research on the topics I have. 

 I have tried my best to get some sort of work done for the body paragraphs but I do not know if this is right.

 -I am going to talk about the different types of input devices for different consoles eg, mouse for computer.

 - The types of navigation Mechanisms in games eg, the circle map in GTA IV.

 -The reasons for navigation in games.

 -The role of input devices in the gaming experience. Link to article: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/221436824_The_role_of_input_devices_in_the_gaming_experience

- Most famous input devices

-Most famous navigation in games known across the world

I will take next weeks break as a week to sort all my work out and do a lot more research.

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.
