Review Week Comments and Feedback

-

 

I can thankfully say that I have continuously received excellent feedback comments from my peers. The comments they have left on my blog posts have not only been friendly and supportive but they have also offered fantastic advice. When I was still brainstorming on potential ideas for a final video game one of my peers made an excellent comment about what I could add to one of my game ideas. I didn't follow through with this idea however if I had more time and more experience in creating a game I would definitely try to incorporate his comment into a game. I find comments which offer ideas on potential ideas I could work on in my game to be the best comments as they really help me with the potential future of my games and really get the creative side of my brain whirring. Although I can't understate the importance of comments which offer general support and friendly well wishes. I am proud to say that I can rate the comments I have received on my blog a ten out of ten.

In turn the comments I have been leaving on the blogs of other people have mostly been supportive in nature. Wishing that the person gets on well with the semester, that they achieve the grade they want to achieve and in general are happy with life. I also comment on blog posts which involves plans for their final projects offer support and advice. For the next few weeks I will be adding additional comments to all the blogs of my peers. These will mainly consist of ideas for what they could do with their games and also friendly support.

I firmly believe that my peers have gotten a better idea of who I am through my blog posts. I am especially proud of my introductory blog post. I decided to be honest about myself in my blog post as I wanted people to know more about me. Especially since we were all online last year. I cannot deny it always brings me some happiness seeing people leave supportive comments on my blog.

I also feel as though I have learnt a great deal about my peers through their introductory blog posts and their other blog posts. I have no doubt in my mind that this is mainly due to the randomiser giving us random people from our year to comment on. If we had to pick who's blog to comment on ourselves then we would likely stick to the people we became friendly with from first year and not move away from those people. The randomiser helped us to branch out more by letting anybody comment on anybody's blog.

In the future I will make it a priority to comment on as many blogs as possible, I will be sure to leave ideas about their games and also offer additional support in the coming weeks as the workload ramps up.

I also have a plan for the lucky final individual who will receive my last comment of this semester. They will receive a short message expressing my thoughts and feelings and my wish of happiness to them for the break and that they have a fantastic time.

Robbie Cahill Introduction Multimedia Development

 Welcome to My Blog - Robbie Cahill B00132167 This is my first Test Blog for the second year of multimedia development  Hello my name is Robbie Cahill this will be my blog for Multimedia Development in my second year of college in Creative Digital Media Course, at Blanchardstown college. I am very excited to begin this brand new year of college and have a wonderful experience with all my fellow students. But before beginning I would like to give a little introduction and share some information about myself. During secondary school I was very shy and quiet, I made it a point to keep to myself and never really interacted with any social or extracurricular activities in my school. I didn't get good results in tests and didn't have high hopes for my leaving cert.  However once I got my leaving cert results I did far better than I ever thought I could, thanks to a combination of rigorous studying and grinds. After finally putting Secondary school behind me I had another conundrum fa

Game Brainstorm

 There are many possible games that I could make for the project  One game that I believe could make for an interesting experience is A dungeon crawler type game, This would be one that has the player endure a dark and grim fantasy dungeon. The dungeon would have a specific aesthetic, whilst there would stone walls, jail cells and perhaps a portcullis and a drawbridge there would also be hints that this dungeon has some sort of magical power which the player must fend off but can see occasionally. Whilst in this vile pit the player would need to fight various horrid monsters, these could include ogres, goblins, orcs, dragons, hellhounds, demons, giant insects and skeleton warriors. In truth any creature from any and all myths and legends could find their way into this dungeon, there could even be a level with a sea monster which has been trapped underwater and now feeds on whatever adventurers it can catch. Perhaps each and every single one of these evil creatures were once humans just

Game Idea Research

Previously I considered a variety of ideas which I could translate into a full video game. However most of the game ideas were far too big for me to do. I believe that there was a single idea that could work very well. Creating a racing game where you drive about on a long stretch and try to avoid traffic. I firmly believe this would be better for my current skill level. A game with more scale would require more time and likely more members. I also believe this link could explain why my peers could enjoy a racing game One mechanic that I believe would work very well is actually jumping. In the game I used to play you could jump over traffic. This was vital as the longer you played the faster you went. It was a very fun mechanic, seeing a large taxi leap over other cars in a cartoonish manner always brought me endless amusement as a child. New obstacles would also benefit this game, such as overtaking buses and other fast vehicles. Although there could be other types of obstacles added
