Reading 12- Done not Doing

I really struggled with the reading task this semester for Multimedia Development. I struggled with knowing where to start and how to gather all my information from so many different resources, but I eventually end up getting it done, and even though it's probably not one hundred percent perfect, I'm happy that I was able to complete the task. I was glad to be able to learn something through this task throughout the semester as I didn't have too much knowledge on Twitch or streaming before doing any research and now I have basic knowledge of the platform and what it's all about.

Reading was definitely not my best part of this module for this semester, even though at the start of the semester I expected that I would find reading easier than creating a 2D game or even Game Jam, but that was not the case for me. I struggle when it comes to having to pick specific information out of long readings or articles and it is definitely something that I could be better at and work on over the next two years of this course. But this task has certainly helped me get a start at learning how to do this.

(Image Information: personal photo of Me; photo from November 2019.)  My name is Rachael, I'm 19 years old and I was born and raised in Dublin. I'm a year 2 Creative Digital Media student and I have really been enjoying this course so far. One of my favourite modules last semster was Storytelling and Narrative, I really enjoy film and televison and it is something I am interested in for a future career.  Some fun things I did over summer were going on some trips to different counties with my friends, I travelled to Mayo in May with two of my closest friends and then travelled to Armagh in June with a big group of friends, they were both really fun trips. My two favourite TV shows at the moment are Station 19 and The Wilds. My favourite movie that I have seen recently is Dear Evan Hansen, I love musicals so I really enjoyed watching this film. I enjoy mostly all genres of film and TV so I find it easy to find shows and movies that I enjoy. One of my biggest goals for the future

Prototype

Personal Screenshot from my Unity Hub This week I started the prototype on my own game. When I opened up Unity I had no idea where to start, I didn't have much of an idea of how I wanted my scene to look, I just knew I wanted it to have some kind of arcade style to it. To begin, I went into the Unity asset store to see if they had any free assets available that I would be able to use in my game, fortunately they had a lot of assets I will be able to use for my scene. I started out by picking a car that I liked and that fit with my theme and downloaded it and imported it into my Unity. I then looked for some other assets like roads and grass and trees and then added them in to my Unity and created this scene for my game. I have not created any of my scripts yet, I plan to do that for the first playable next week but I am happy with the start I have on my game, I have not run into any difficulties yet, but I suspect that when it comes to coding the game it will become a little bit ha

Game Design Document

   Source This week we had to create our Game Design Documents for our games, after reading about what a game design document was, initially I was very confused as I had never heard of them before, and I then had to figure out what I was going to include in my own and what website I would use to design it. I designed mine on Dundoc. This website was a lot to take in at first, I found it really hard to navigate my way around it and it took me a while to be able to find where I was suppose to be creating my Game Design Document. Eventually I got the hang of it and I was able to create a game design document, I'm still not sure if it is 100% right but I gave it a good go. Game Design Document
