Reading 3

Reading 3: Doing my research

Before I started reading loads of articles for my research I learned how to fully engage in the readings and what is the best things to do when reading them and post-reading. I looked on google scholar but did not find any articles that were helpful on game design process or on visual and audio elements in a game but I did find some articles on google. So far I have scanned over one article for each topic which I taught were helpful towards my research.

The first article that I looked at for the design process of a game was Game design process by Francois Dominic Laramee I found this article very helpful and useful so I took down notes that I taught would be beneficial to my research.

The first article I looked at for visual and audio elements was Visuals and audio elements by Aki Järvinen which I scanned over to see if it was suitable for my research which it was so I took some notes.

I feel like the matrix excel sheets helped a lot with my research and is a great way to summarize the articles on each topic I also feel that taking notes and keeping questions in your mind while reading it helps to figure out if the articles are suitable for your question so far I have found one article on each topic that are suitable for my question so I will definitely be reading into them a lot more and will also be trying to find other articles that are suitable.

This week I have finally finished my topics I have over 2,000 for my chapters my game design process has more words than my visual and audio elements but not by much I have learned a lot from writing these topics and have definitely improved my writing skills a lot, I have also learned a lot on each of my topics. Overall I feel like my topics are decent and that I have wrote some good information on both of them. I am really glad that I have finished and it is a huge weight of my shoulders I just have to do my reflection work. I feel like this week we have done a lot on fixing up the writing on most of the chapters which is really good and I feel like everyone has done good work overall. Below are some screenshots of my topics in my chapter.

Unity tutorial 03

Unity tutorial 03 I have learned a lot from this unity tutorial I have learned how to create a clock from objects such as cubes and cylinders and how to position, scale and rotate them in the right positions which I found really helpful. I also learned how to create materials to add to the objects to add color and how to use a mesh collider component I also learned what is a child object and a parent object. The most important part of this tutorial would have to be the c# script it taught me how to get objects to move by using class and transform I found this very interesting but it was hard it did not work for me at first but I finally got it to work after a while I might not use anything I learned in this tutorial but it was good to learn new things about unity I might use some of the information I learned from the tutorial about c# script in my game. I am looking forward to start creating my game and all the information I have learned so far in unity and making my game look as goo...
