Reading 05 - Doing

This week for the reading task I had to find themes within my Annotated Bibliographies. To do this i went back to my Google Doc and tried to find as many as I could. It wasn't as difficult as other weeks and it thankfully it wasn't nearly as time consuming either! At first I wasn't sure if what I was doing was even correct but with the help of the video on the class website I think I done it right (hopefully).

The themes I found within my Bibliographies were:

Light Orange - Impact different frameworks have 

Yellow - Design Criteria 

Green - Analysing Frameworks

Light Blue - Using surveys/statistics to show how effective frameworks are

Red - Pedagogy in Game Design

It was a busy week for me and last week week I said to myself I would designate 1 hour a day toward this module which unfortunately I didn't do. I think there is some gaps in my research and I really have to sit down and do a few more Annotated Bibliographies. By doing this it will make it easier when it comes to doing my final piece in a few weeks. Of the above themes the ones I'm concerned about having enough content to write a paragraph on would be Surveys/Statistics and Design Criteria, the other themes should be fine.

My Google Document can be found here.

A Brief Introduction To a Life in Isolation

For anybody in the CDM course who doesn't know me yet my name is Seán Clarke and I'm 24 (until Sunday). I'm from Dublin and live in Swords which is about a 20 minute drive by car from the Blanchardstown Campus or what feels like an 8 hour bus journey in the mornings. I'm not going to talk too much about my upbringing or anything but more about what life in lockdown has been like for me. Enjoy and I hope I don't bore anybody too much! So the first time I heard about Coronavirus I didn't think anything of it really and I think majority of people felt the same. I thought it was going to be like the bird flu and that it was being blown out of proportion. The first time I think it felt real for me was when Daniel McSweeney came in to our lecture and gave us an update on how it was going to affect our college life. It was quite daunting at first and it made me nervous for both the rest of the semester and life in general.  The last sense of normality I was trying to t

 This week I started developing my Game Design Document. I created it using the website Dundoc which had me very confused at the start but once I got the hang of it I was fine! The link to my document can be found  here . I'm happy with what I have included so far and I I will update continuously over the next few weeks and my game develops!  Image Information: A screenshot of the introduction to my Game Design Document

So this week we had to start creating our game. It's been a busy week so the first thing that I done was set a timer on my phone for 3 hours and sat down to get the work done. What I achieved this week: -Creating Project -Organising Assets needed -Creating River for scene -Creating Jungle for scene -Bringing the Player (boat) into scene -Creating FollowPlayer and PlayerController Scripts Creating Project The first thing that I did is the easiest part of the whole project - creating the project file in Unity. I went to Unity Hub and created a new 3D project which opened up my new scene.  Organising Assets Needed The next thing that I did was looked back on my Game Idea research where I had posted some different links to assets, I gathered the ones I needed and used them along with a few new tutorials to complete the headings below.  Creating River for Scene When making the river I created a new Game Object on Unity and under the 3D option I chose "Plane". I then went to Go
