Analysis

This week I have decided to look at prehistory of play-to-ear approach and found 2 sources that I have decided to study. 

The second source consists of 77 pages, I understand that I had to find 66 Sourses, but the second source was worth attention and the fact there is a lot of quality studies included into one source I was tempted to work with it. 

Conceptualizing “Games for Good” as 

Cognitive Technologies by Academia, author of Rudy McDaniel 

This article the author looks at the history of game purpose transformation. In older days video games were mostly for commercial entertainment purposes and now the situation is changing dramatically as games can be a useful platform for learning and studding and in general is teaching people to evaluate a variety of new skills. 

 

ROLE-PLAY GAMERS AND NATIONAL GUARDSMEN COMPARED 

By GARY T. ROSENTHAL and BA RLOW SOPER 

Also, I read about the old stereotype of how gamers were looked at. 

Studies showed that gamers used to be considered unsociable, emotionally unstable, and not enthusiastic about education. Instead, new research showed that it was completely opposite, and that gamers and non-gamers are similar in many important ways and even more focused and motivated in some areas where there is a competitive spirit and reward system involved.

    Hey Svetlana, Hope the readings are going good and you are finding some great information on your topic! Do you consider academic readings hard to understand ? Personally I have to find a good few readings to get my answer and what I searched for but also some of the articles are too heavy and hard to understand. Your topic seems very interesting and I cant wait to read about it in our book.

                                                                                   Hi,My name is Svetlana and welcome to my Multimedia development blog. I am from Moscow, Russia, but have been living in Ireland for the last 20 years. Studying at The Third Level was always my dream, but I had to wait for the right moment. My son was a professional tennis player and It was a full time job for me, so I said to myself, when I am free , I am studying and here I am in TU Dublin and I love it. Hope you will enjoy my blog and I will learn how to do it properly. I am a very creative person and have lots of hobbies, not sure whether it is a good or bad thing ;) My main hobby is learning new things, that is probably why CDM was my choice. I love photography and believe I am pretty good at this.  I do commercial photoshoots from time to time and love working with models and creative make-up artists.  Web design and everything connected to it as well are my favourite things. Last year I opened the

  my image This  week,  I figured out how to use Unity asset library and how to create a scene that I wou ld like to have as a platform for my game. So now my player is moving side to  side,  I have quite realistic  forest with trees, I also know what I am doing next week. For next week I would like to place a proper player  not just a  cylinder  that is  moving,  then I will organise falling objects from the  sky, I know what code to  apply,  so it is  going  to be just coding next  week,  so I hope my game will be working next week and all I  must  d o is to clean code and double check whether everything works.   T hat is my plan for next week.

Game Design Document

Project Design Document           I would like to present my first  Project  Design Document for the Multimedia Module  that is aimed to help me to be able to prepare a well  organised  plan and get me ready when it comes to  start developing my first game      Why do we need to create Project Design  Document?   Preparing all the documentations ready before you start designing your game  is normally thought to be the most boring part of Game Design, even  game designers mention it in their tutorials, but it does not have to be. The well organised  Project Design Document can help you and your team to have a better  understand  what you are expected to. Produce at the end  of the  entire process . It can speed up your  work and  avoid the obstacles that can appe ar during Design.  So,  referring to your Document can be a quite useful tool .       Project Design  Document Sections:     The name of the Game   Location   Back story   Obstacles   Objects   Sound   Goals   Unique aspects
