Personally I felt this was rather boring due to the fact there was a limit to what you could 

Code which was the characters movement. Also I didn’t really like the fact it was repetitive 

 

However I personally feel when actually creating a game it would be elements fun as there would be no limit of what to do i.e. what weapons a character can use and what it does. 

 

 I found nothing really difficult about it as I felt that it was actually easy as you was only coding the characters movement. 

 

On the other hand when actually creating a game I think that it would be difficult as there would be no limit on what you could create. 

Concept Art:  

I really enjoyed using the touch pads as it is a very inventive way of how to draw. 

 

 However as this was my first time using this feature I found it difficult to use and I was rather bad when drawing. 

 

 But over time when I get used to using the product I should become quite good at it. 

 

It is easier to draw by hand compared to on the computer as well. 

 

Writing: 

When Writing I feel that it would be cool when creating a game, as it is down to you what the story of the game is and what the characters say and how this is then linked further on in your game. 

 

Also you would be in control of what your background and scheme of the game looks like to incise and grab your audience in to wanting to buy your game. 

 

However I feel that this would be very difficult as you would have to make a lot of key decisions and it could go either good or terribly bad. 

 
I would like to be taught how to do this as this is important when becoming a game designer as it is good experience so you can become better and create better ideas.

Games Writing
 

·         I liked the way it was explained and how it is different to writing other things. 

·        I learnt that the writers are usually brought in after the game has been made/ nearly finished. 

·         I learnt that the writing for games is very difficult due to restrictions. 

·        I also learnt that game writing can make the game design difficult too.
 

Programming
 

·         I enjoyed the game I played. 

·         I learnt that it can be quite easy to program. 

·        I didn’t like how tedious the game was because there is a lot of repetition and it seems boring. 

·         I would like to learn how much programming goes into one game.
 

Concept art
 

·         I enjoyed looking at the concept art that others had made. 

·         I liked creating my own concept art. 

·         I didn’t like using the graphics tablets. 

·         I found it quite difficult to create concept art.
 ~

Art + concept art: 
 - I found it hard as I am left handed. 
 - It was uncomfortable but I do want to do more so it can help me become more comfortable.
 - Need to practice as I can’t seem to draw with the tablets, but I do want to learn how to do it properly through the use of YouTube as it can help me through the use of the tutorials.
 - I would like to do more of it as I will get the jist of it and will become more comfortable of the idea of a drawing tablet. 

 

Programming: 

 

-          It was joyful yet difficult to grasp. 

-          It was confusing to a certain degree. 

-          I learnt that characters has certain capitalization that they needed. 

-          Learnt about the different data Patterns and layouts. 

* Say what i enjoyed and what i found difficult.

Game Writing: 
- I find it difficult to come out with ideas for this. 
- need to plan out the ideas so I am able to write about a plot summary.
- It was okay once i got an idea to write about. 
- Writing games isn't my strong point in this.

Game writing
 

·         I liked the way how you can make the story to a set theme 

·         The video made the writing easier to understand 

·         It doesn’t need to be that long because the dialog is very short 

·         It needs to be good because the game writing is nearly never finished so that it still has a good story   

Programing 

·         It explained how to use code and what to type 

·         It made it easy to learn from the code game 

·         It was easy to get into then kept on challenge me 

·         It was putting code in to a different explanation 

Concept art  

·         I enjoyed looking at the concept art/art work 

·         I didn’t like the graphics tablets that much to do the art work 

·         I found it difficult to make the design on the computer 

·         I liked that I could make it my own concept

- 1.      Always work from the background to the foreground and have multiple sketches of character or object in different positions and perspectives. Also as an Artist you need to be able to self-develop and research various parts of art to improve.

2.       Have a steadier hand to make my lines more precise and accurate on a graphics tablet, don’t feather my lines as this looks messy draw 1 solid straight line to make a clean piece of artwork. 

3.       Finding and using various tools to improve my drawings and give them different features. Also I have difficulties finding the correct brushes and filters which could enhance my drawings. 

4.       Digital art is used to create different visuals of the game and to create multiple ideas of what the game would look like or could’ve looked like.
Programming:
1.       Programming is the coding form used to create a game and its animations such as moving a player the code would be Player_Moveup and this is vital when creating a non-static game.~
 

2.       The positives of coding are that it makes a game animated and playable which makes the game interesting and appealing. 

3.       There are a few negatives of programming these include that it is hard to understand and code, as well as if an error is made it is very difficult to fix the issue and resolve the game. 

4.       Learning and optimizing each code and place them within the correct order and understand each codes purpose in each part when programming.

Game Writing:
1.       Game writing is when you create the characters origin stories and backgrounds as well as writing the overall plot for the story of the game.~
 

2.       The positives of games writing you can be creative as you want to be as there are no boundaries therefore meaning you can have the story the exact way you want it. 

3.       The negatives behind game writing is sometimes it is difficult to imagine some of the events that occur within the game and it can be difficult as sometimes your mind can go blank. 

4.       The improvements I could make are being a little bit more creative with my stories and characters backgrounds, also add more interesting events to make the player happier whilst enjoying the storyline.

Art:

·         I found the graphics tablet difficult to get used to as I prefer drawing with a pencil but after practicing over a few sessions I really got used to how it works.

·         After watching the concept art videos, I learnt that a lot of work goes into getting the drawing to the best of its ability. Lots of drawings were completed on the same thing meaning this takes a lot of patience and a high skill level in drawing to get them to be at a professional level.

·         In the video I learnt that drawing the setting first and then the characters is a better route into completing the whole scene at professional level.

·         Creativity plays a big part on getting the best drawing possible because coming up with unique ideas will do the best in attracting gamers.

Game writing 

·         This is good because it allows you to create a story for a game about whatever you want. This means it is useful to have a creative mind.

·         This is also good for people who enjoy writing and are good at it.

·         For me this wasn’t very fun as I don’t like writing pages of text.

Programming 

·         I found it quite boring to do the coding program as it’s not something I’m interested in.

·         Another reason to why I found this boring was the fact that you needed to keep writing the same thing over again. 

·         Although I found it boring it has been setup well for beginners who want to get into a coding career.

1. Using the attack mode on to the target enemy and using the coordinates as well as the seeing code where your character can see the enemy to lock on can be hard especial if the enemy are in groups or not.

2. Moving the character you are given is simple on telling the character to go left, right, up and down but it can get tricky when the y/x comes by where you have to go different ways instead of a straight line and not to get the character hurt or killed.

3. Having the character say stuff to trigger it can be hard on when to start the words and how to since you don't won't the character to say more than one sentence at once and having it in the correct way so it don't get all mess up and  confuses the player while playing.

Game Writing   

1. The story got to make sense and is understandable to the gamers on what's going on and to make it feel like a quest as the way the story explained. If it get's messed up or confusing then the gamers will have less interest not only with the story but so bad that they won't like the game play and feel more like a chore to do that won't feel great and less like an adventure that feels rewarding.

2. The story and dialog has to make good impressions that make that character or feeling feels like it's really happening because if there is little to no understanding why then it doesn't feel like an uproar on why that charter is like that or why show this feeling right now when it doesn't need to be there.

3. Motivation is a key point that will make the gamer buy the game or not and that is what the cover on the back of the game box and the instruction manual have as it is on of the first thing the gamer will see other than the box art and the title of the game. It needs to be interesting and exciting enough on what the plot and how it links to the game play for the gamer to buy the game.

Game Art
1. The art of the game box will be important as not only do the cover on what the picture got to be impressive for the gamer to buy but also on how the title which in many cases has to draw by the art team to make the title theme to the cover art as well as the game itself to make as promiseable as possible so that the gamer isn't lied to and that what the art cover shows is there in a way related to the game as well as the title. This is because if it's not then the gamer would be disappointed and may want a refund from being lied to about what the art looked like and what it should of have which it didn't.

2. The art got to look how the developers want it to look. For example if the developers want it to be pixel like an 8bit or 16bit game then the designers need to make the settings and the characters be pixel and look convincing as a pixel game and not a strange pixel art that isn't convincing at all not only to the public but also to the developers and the game idea team how came up with the idea that the game should be pixel. 

3.  The art in the land needs to be like the character in most games so the character can fit in it and it feels like it's really their land their in or where the character is going of an adventure really feels like the experience of exploring. Some games however have the character a little different to the world there in. For example in the paper Mario games (not the main Mario games)the characters are 2d where some locations are 3d which still fits in on the way the designers uses colours and shapes to not make it completely out of place where the 2d and the 3d shouldn't be together.

4. Editing by using Photoshop or GIMP by using real pictures of location or land marks and editing them to the game where the character can go in or see as well as the player. This can be really helpful when it comes to edit certain stuff like houses and trees and has some style to it as it can make it look nice and to have a different look and feel to the picture that was taken from.~
