Game testing

Game testing

 I have really enjoyed reading "Giving criticism- the good, the bad, and the ugly!" I learned a lot about how to give good criticism and how giving criticism can be a good thing the good form of criticism is known as constructive criticism it also offers valid feedback giving constructive criticism can lend much needed assistance giving good advice. Constructive criticism can also keep feelings from being hurt by focusing on things that can be improved while avoiding personal insults. I also learned how to give constructive criticism and how to focus on valid and unbiased feedback and how to give feedback that is tangible by unbiased feedback we are talking about feedback that is free of individual opinion or personal tastes. focus your criticism on concrete feedback instead of personal taste or opinions. Another important thing to keep in mind when giving constructive criticism is to make your criticism clear, understandable and relevant as giving feedback can be stressful enough. The less ambiguous and more clear your criticism is the better your chances of getting your feedback across and helping out your friend. I also learned that if you want to give good constructive criticism then focus on valid and unbiased feedback and make your criticism clear and relevant. I also read some examples of poor ways of giving constructive criticism and ways of giving good constructive criticism.

I have also looked at the additional course material and the ones that grabbed my attention were the extra commenting as it is really simple to get extra points for just commenting on peoples blogs also the growth mindset/feedback which is also a really good way to get extra points by reading about growth mindset and also to give feedback to others. I also think the tech task which is a good way to expand your information on website technology and what it can offer.

    Hi Jennifer,

    I enjoyed reading your thoughts on games testing! I agree with you that it's very important to be unbiased and constructive in your feedback- just giving bad feedback can hurt someones feelings and they wont know what they need to improve on. You have a good understanding of how to give good criticism from your reading which is a useful skill to have when reviewing other peoples work!

Beta

Beta For my Beta of my game I added some dialogue and fixed up my terrain a little bit but for some reason when I play my game my cursor will not show up even though the dialogue is clickable which is strange but so far I think my game turned out well for a prototype I have struggled a little bit as I do not know much about games or c# script but I have a functional game so far in my game I have two characters, a pick up fruit object, main menu which needs a bit of fixing and dialogue and I have also put a lot of design into my game. I did not get everything I wanted in my game but I think my expectations were too high so I might have to change some things around for my game but overall I think everything worked out well other than some struggles with c# script. I am happy with how my prototype turned out and I now know what I can do to improve when I start my game. Main menu Main Menu clickable buttons. Terrain. Terrain. Terrain with character. Terrain...

Project

Project  After many trials and errors I have final got a somewhat working main menu for my game it will still not let me add images but luckily from one of the asset packages I downloaded there was a sprite that had a menu title on it which will do for now until I figure out how to add images to my main menu I tried adding a cube and tried adding a image to that but that did not work either but I am happy with what I got so far even though it did take a while to figure everything out because it would not let me add my script to the buttons on my menu for no reason at all because I had no errors in my script but I will get it working eventually. Anyway I am happy that I finally got a somewhat working menu done. main menu. buttons and main menu. trying to add cube to add image as background.
