What I'm feeling about Multimedia and the assignments

I'm thrilled to take this module because it is a new challenge that I'm eager to face. I'm really glad that our lecturer gives us tasks to do every week because it keeps me busy! I'm looking forward to figuring out how Unity 3D works by doing various projects but I'm also a little bit scared because i've heard people say that coding is pretty difficult. As you can tell my blog is already filled up with posts and I'm enjoying the experience of writing them out. When it comes to the extra credit tasks they're going to be very helpful if I have all my work finished and I'm experiencing boredom. 

I was having a look at the tutorials on how to create some very interesting games with Unity3D and I never thought I would be on my way to creating games like that! After buying my PS4 I was an addict when it came to new game releases, obviously companies who create life-like games will be nothing compared to what we're going to be doing in MultiMedia but let me have my moment! So as you can tell I am happy that we're dabbling in 3d / 2d games. 




When it comes to the reading tasks I'm interested in what MultiMedia is actually about since it's such a broad subject. I will be posting my opinions regarding articles that we will be given to read each week, I have already written about my experience with growth mindset and I enjoyed sharing it. Our lecturer recommends reading other students blogs and commenting on their posts and I'm all for that! I feel like it's a great opportunity to connect with people online especially with people that we haven't been introduced with.

    Hi Ania, Nice to see that you are eager to face new challenges with this module and the blogs keep you busy. I myself is as excited as you are to be using Unity 3D as we never thought we would actually be making a game. I also feel like commenting on other people's blog is a great way to connect with people online. -Tochi :)

An Introduction to Frodo (and me)

 Hi! My name is Anna Zurawska and I am a second year Creative Digital Media student.  My first ever year of college was a once in a lifetime experience and I'm so happy that I chose this course, it opened my eyes and it made me use parts of my brain that I didn't know were possible to reach. I never thought I would be able to find softwares such as Photoshop and Illustrator straightforward. I'm so happy how my assignments and projects turned out and I can't wait for what second year has to offer. I don't really want to talk about the pandemic because I know a lot of people are sick of hearing about it so I'm just going to show everyone my cat that I got over the break 😁😁. Frodo sleeping anywhere and evrywhere The first picture is a recent one I took, look how big he is compared to the second one !! Frodo in the first pic looking at my cockatiel like she's a big juicy steak His name is Frodo and he sleeps 22 hours a day. Whenever my boyfriend comes home fro

The components of Game Design

What is a Game, Anyway? The following consists of key excerpts taken from an article by Ian Schreiber. It aims to discuss one's definition of a what a game is.  Schreiber (2009) discusses that many games have similar contrasting ideas. For instance, dots and boxes present the user with a simplistic objective of whoever attains the most boxes wins the game. The same mechanics apply to Tic-tac-toe. Therefore, it is important to clarify the differences between games. A substantial amount of individuals have clashing definitions in terms of what a game is, but all have equal elements. The components of an enticing experience can incorporate conflict, a set of rules, a problem solving task as well as an out of body experience yet all require interaction. A game does not essentially call for technology for the experience to be stimulating, there can be colossal subsets to a game. A game may be as straightforward as "tossing a ball around", as Schreiber (2009) states "play

Game Design Document

 I created my first ever Game Design Document, I felt like the reading task this week helped me a lot on my journey. Dundoc has some extremely useful game design document templates that are nicely organised into different titles such as technical, sounds, game introduction etc. I looked at other students game design documents whenever I was stuck on specific things and I found it 100 times easier. The template looks daunting at first but I promise it's not as bad as it looks! Here is the link to my Game Design Document Here is a picture of my game design document (might have the chance the name to my game title) I will make several changes throughout the semester so I can fill out as much information as possible. Right now I haven't made the game so when my vision comes alive I will include screenshots and information architecture.
