Thoughts on technology tools

My opinion of these Technology tools


Blogging isn't something I did before and I would like to learn about the different style of blogging and see what people chose to do with their blog. Personally, I wouldn't write a blog and maybe reading other people's blog would be handy in the future since I don't know what I want to do in the future yet. Maybe blogging would be included with the work I am going to do in the future.

Bookmarking like keeping a tracks on different websites or web pages are something I'm familiar with, I still use the bookmarking tool for shopping so if I like something I want to buy or a websites of learning the easy way of finger-style guitar I would save them and easily find it. I used Pinterest for a few modules last year and I would pin them in a folder. I never knew Pinterest would be helpful, I still use it for personal reasons something I didn't think I would use for non college work. 

Editing images are something I do every now and then, even before I started this course I would use other editing apps and learn about the tools by messing around and see what this tool do. I always had an interested in editing pictures. Watching videos of people editing their pictures or looking at people's final edit photo always leave me in shock and wanting to know how to do that.

Graphic creation isn't something I done before but after doing the module "Design Process and Practice" last year, I fell in love with graphic design. I kind of had a liking with graphic design but I never thought I would want to do it as a career. I'm still not sure if I want to be a graphic designer the rest of my life but it's something I am looking into. 

Unity3D like I said in my last blog, I never used it before and I would like to see what I am going to create using this software.

  1. First off, I really like your poster design for Design Process & Practice module! It's very interesting. I'm not sure what I want to do for the rest of my life either but there's plenty to think about. I have never done any sort of blogging before either. I also used 'pinterest' quite frequently last year too and I found it to be a very helpful and handy resource to use for assignments. Good read!

INTRODUCTION

ABOUT ME My name is Nhu Thai. I am really shy but after you know me you will probably regret knowing me. I love meme, I mean who doesn't? I am the oldest and I have 2 annoying brothers and one told me to write that he's a good singer...he thinks he's Beyonce... The best module I took from last year was probably web development because I like doing the coding but I also hate it at the same time. I understood it because I took down notes and ask the lecturer and classmates for help. When I saw that web development was one of my highest grade I was shocked and happy.  Career wise... I don’t really know exactly what I want to do. I would like to go and do something that involves media but I still don’t know if I want it for the long term yet. If I am doing it for the long term, I would like to go to graphic design or photography or website design.  Over the summer, I went to Disneyland Paris again. I only went because my little cousins wanted to go and I thought i...

Game Vision Statement

Zoobe is what the name for the puzzle and adventure game I want to design.  It is a game where you are an animal, in a shape of a box and trying to escape from the zoo without getting caught but the humans or traps. The background story for this game is that one night the animal decided that they want to get away and out of the zoo and be free. Some nights after, one of the animal's gate was left unlock and left their "home" behind them. Since all the animals wanted to be free and actually go back to the jungle. The animal that escape went to get the key for the gate, with the help of other animals trying to get the zoo keeper drop the key to all the gates. To play this game, you are the animal who's gate was left unlock and have to get the key to open the other gates for the animal. The animal can't move by itself so you have to move them yourself without getting caught by the zookeeper or traps. To free the animal you either have to move them to the box that...

Game Design

After reading about what is a game and what we should look in when making a game, I found three different website based on the same ideas but different information. 5 Game Elements That Create Effective Learning Games  by Arunima Majumdar Game Design, An Introduction  by Jill Duffy What are game-elements? (PacMan as reference)  by Ellis The first article I read gave me some game mechanics that I should considered when making a game for our assignment. Arunima talks about: Conflict ; have some sort of challenges for the player to overcome. It could be a physical obstacle, combat with another player or a puzzle that has to be solved. A sense of collaborative learning can be built in with a challenge that all the player must work together to overcome. Strategy and chance; with strategy-based games they put a lot of control into the players' decisions they can make that affect game okay or their odds of achieving the goal. Also, it based on the chance the play...
