Final Challenge

This week we’ve been asked to look towards the future, the next module and the final project. First, here is what I have put on the Spark Forum about what I’ve done well, what I’ve learned, what I should do differently and what still puzzles me. I think there are some good reflections in here.Continue reading “Final Challenge”

Real Works

This week the challenge was to go through activities on “The Art of the Approach” (RealWorks, 2021). The first task I went through was on LinkedIn as there wasn’t any tasks for “6 Pillars of Personal Branding” (Falmouth, 2021) that I could see. The activities on the Falmouth site don’t match what is actually onContinue reading “Real Works”

Persona

This week we had to create a persona for one of our previous rapid ideations. I have chosen to create a persona for the COP-26 inspired game, “Alien Saves Earth”. I created a few different user stories to start with which are below; User Story 1 As an environmental activist. I want a game toContinue reading “Persona”

Participation Obsveration

This week we had to create a participation observation report about a community that aligns with our aspirations, this can be found below. Participation Observation Report I haven’t really thought of Game Development communities before. I’ve been thinking about what I want to do after the course, and I’d love to make to make myContinue reading “Participation Obsveration”

Rapid Ideation 2

We had 2 choices this week, “COP-out” which is to do with the environment or to create what I or a fellow student has already created in a different way. I decided to choose “COP-out” because I’m interested in the subject. I struggled for ideas to begin with but decided to create a mind mapContinue reading “Rapid Ideation 2”

Scenario 1 “A researcher plans to interview eight artists / curators / designers for her thesis. She offers a letter of introduction about the project, gains written informed consent for the interview fromContinue reading “Research”

Version Control

This week our task was to set up a GitHub Repository. I have already done this as part of my portfolio. The link for my github site is here: https://github.com/RichardEllis92. The reason I set this up is so I can include it as part of my portfolio so potential employers can look through the codeContinue reading “Version Control”

Reflective Domains and SMART goals

I’m a bit late to this challenge as I was more focused on getting my game finished. After going through all of my journal entries, below are the domains that are mentioned. Reflective Domains Dispositional Domain 2 Affective Domain 5 Interpersonal Domain 1 Cognitive Domain 1 Procedural Domain 2 I have a lot in theContinue reading “Reflective Domains and SMART goals”

Rapid Ideation Part 2: Dragon’s Demise!

I decided to add in a main menu and how to play screen. I think this will help bring the game together and make it feel like more of a complete package. An article by Avard (2020) explains the importance of a main menu and needs to create a good first impression. I also thoughtContinue reading “Rapid Ideation Part 2: Dragon’s Demise!”
