Sat 29 - Looking Forward to Week 2

-
Hi All, I hope that you have had an enjoyable first-week blogging. I realise that it is a new approach for most of you and that's why this week it has been very casual. A couple of pointers:

  1. try reading your blog out loud  after writing - it will improve the quality
  2. re-read how to deal with image captions, title names, and tags
  3. make sure you have completed all parts of the declaration before taking the quiz

As always ask me if you're unsure!

I have read almost everyone blog at this stage, particularly the up to date blogs and tried to leave at least one comment - I have to say I really enjoyed my Saturday getting to know all of you better.

As I commented in one blog my goal is for you this semester, to try things out seeing if you can push your own boundaries while at the same time providing each of you as much feedback as I possibly can. I hope you enjoy the journey!

For next weeks Lecture slot it has been suggested this slot would be used as a meeting time to chat about the readings for the week, ideas and projects. I will be there every week but it would great as a group of students that you take the lead in this!

In relation to Unity, there may be issues in relation to it being ready to run in the labs this week, I will update as the week goes on. Unity is free and can be loaded on fairly low spec machines. So why not have a go loading it on your own machine. Let me know if you have any issues.

Remember you have weekend deadlines to meet and try to get ahead with your tasks it will make life easier!

Finally, keep up the good work and engaging with the material, I hope to see most of you as the week progresses

At this stage, anyone who has completed the Week 04 Project task on a vision document will have received feedback(as long as you sent me an email as per the instructions). I hope it makes sense, I really enjoyed reading everyone's pieces and it is clear to me that your trying very hard which is great! A few suggestions, read the linked document in the brief, it presents a good guideline for writing a vision document,  2pages means about 600 words, that much writing was required to get the level of detail needed this document will help feed into your GDD And here are a few good examples from your classmates https://annananieva.blogspot.com/2018/10/game-vision-statement.html https://thesingularmedia.blogspot.com/2018/10/game-vision-statement.html https://robynmulhall3.blogspot.com/2018/10/game-vision- https://clarkeschats.blogspot.com/2018/10/vision-statement.html https://krislexic.blogspot.com/2018/10/game-vision-statement.html This evening I have visited every
