Week 8 Comments and Feedback

Reflecting on the feedback!

Feedback in: 
I must admit, I am surprised by the quality of the feedback and comments that I got on my blog. I think most people won't really try, but I was wrong. I got a lot of very positive feedback and they are nice to read.

Feedback out: 
When I comment, especially on game ideas, I try to give somehow constructive criticism and give the students some ideas that they can implement or maybe expand on. I try not to sugarcoat anything, because I know it won't be too helpful. There are times though, when I have hard time trying to find someone to comment on, as the randomizer gives me people who aren't doing their blog or those who have 10+ comments already. 

Blog Comments: 
I don't feel that blog is a space where I connect with people, but I did learn some things about others from their introduction posts.

Looking Forward: 
In a lot of cases, the feedback is forced, which isn't a good thing, so I would probably change it so that there is only either feedback homework or comment homework each week, instead of both.

Introduction - Hey! I don't bite.

Taken from  DeviantArt Hello!  My name is Adriana, though it is too long and I usually go by Ada. I am 22 years old, studying Creative Digital Media. Previously I had studied two years of Architecture and Interior Design in Blackrock, so if you ever hear me talking about architecture and furniture - now you know why. While I have finished the two years with total of 4 distinctions and few merits, it wasn't exactly what I wanted to do in life, but nonetheless it was a fun experience, as we got to design various of spaces - rooms, houses, garages, shops and so on. Apart from the boring course work, the biggest adventure was the travelling to Blackrock. I had to take two trains, and sometimes a bus to get to college, which usually meant waking up at 6am. I am not a morning person, so it was the biggest pain in the world at the time... but there was something soothing in taking the train. Maybe it was the journey, maybe people, or temporary calmness? I don't really know. Movin

Final GDD - Witch's Apprentice

Link to the DunDoc ...After completing my DunDoc , I feel more like a botanist than a creative digital media... I will never look at the plants the same way again. Anyway, I updated my document with a lot more information - including descriptions and image references for the characters, as well as the offers of the merchants, so hopefully they will feel a little more human-like now. I included a whole list of plants that will be available in the game, as well as gemstones and rare, buy-only drops from creatures. Now you can also imagine how the map will look like - with somehow detailed village layout, and the surrounding landscapes. System specs, sounds, game flow chart... all added in! So, enjoy?

Source So for this week, I been working again on the Game Design Document. This was mostly to make sure that the document is full of informations about my idea. It sadly takes a lot of time that could be used up for doing the actual project, but at least making the presentation is a bit more fun than just writing all the text on a plain white page or on the DunDoc website. Speaking of DunDoc though - the interactive story will be very strongly based on what I wrote on that website so it might be worth checking out - Click! If everything goes according to the plan, I will finally start doing the story this week. If things slide back, I will just abuse the easter break to do it, since then I will have free time and a good few other projects will be already done at that point.
