For my Multimedia module, I will be given assignments every week on different days. These assignments will be leading up to our final project, which is developing a 3-D game, using the software Unity 3-D.

Readings
The readings that we have been provided are to give information about how to use Unity 3-D. The readings will also be part of the lectures to help clear any confusion and to ask questions to the lecturer.

Unity 3-D is a game engine that is used to create various styles of games such as 2-d, 3-D, VR etc. 

Personally, I am excited to be creating 3-D games, I played many 3-D games growing up. Some of my favourite game developers are Square Enix, Bioware, Sega, Nintendo and Sony.

To use Unity we will have tutorials sent to us. These will gives us a start in getting use to the tools and how to use different techniques. 

Blog Comments

After our assignments each week, in class we have to read each others blogs and provide them with feedback. Doing this helps ourselves get inspiration from each other. Not only from the topics, but how to layout the blog.

For our project, every week we will be doing something towards our final project. For the start of the project, we are required to brainstorm ideas for what the game is going to be. This will include doing research, learning about games that we have an interest in, coming up with our own ideas etc.

Every week in class, students will provide each other with feedback about the game being created in Unity. This is useful when making the game as you can learn more from each other and understand how to criticise work.

University can be very stressful, especially when trying to meet deadlines on time. Having hobbies while in college can be very beneficial for your stress and overall mental health. This is because when you are stressed it is difficult to concentrate and a lot of the time stress prevents students from reaching their potential.

It is important to have hobbies in college. When starting college it can be intimidating for many students. A way to help with that is making a group of friends with common interests.You may discover new things about a topic you have in common. Many colleges have clubs that students can join. For example, there are sport teams to join, different society's such as the anime clubs, music, religion, art, photography and many more. Clubs and Society's can be found on many colleges websites.

Having hobbies outside of college is important. Many University Students have hobbies that would relate to their field of study. Digital media students for example, tend to use a lot of what they learn in class for their own projects. Digital media students a lot of skills that can be applied to social media such as creating websites, making videos or even doing design pieces using the tools from college. It is a fun and interesting hobby to have, whats better is that you can start to market your work.
Here is a link to my gaming blog post where I discuss my favorite game.

Hobbies can lead to your career goals. The majority of peoples goals stems from their hobbies and interests. Finding a hobby that you really enjoy and that you can keep doing for a long time is always good for when you are searching for a job. It shows you are passionate and dedicated.

Workshop 1

On the 18/7/19, I took part in a workshop about Multimedia Development. During this workshop, we were told to reflect on our previous year and to write down what worked for ourselves during the year and what could you improve on for the next year. For what worked well last year I wrote, getting my any work/tasks given completed as soon as possible and to have questions prepared.


There was also problem solving activities that seem very basic, but when having to come up with an answer was difficult.

The topic for this activity was based around traffic lights. It was a test on problem solving.

The activity was enjoyable. Mainly for the fact that I myself don't drive and do not know anything about traffic lights, it really surprised me. I did feel like I learned a bit about how the lights work.

Working in groups is okay for myself, however others might not be comfortable with it, especially working with new people.

To start I sketched out a flowchart, showing which cars would drive first and to essentially find out what will happen at the traffic lights.

Favourite Game

Final Fantasy X

Final Fantasy X is a game about a boy named Tidus. He is from a metropolis city named Zanarkand. In Zanarkand he is their famous Blitzball player. He gets his good rep from his father, Jecht who was also a star player before he mysteriously disappeared.

Zanarkand is a city that was known for its bright city atmosphere. It known within the game as "a city that never sleeps". This is because of the cheery atmosphere and blitzball, being the only fun activity in the game.

One night Tidus was set to play a blitzball match against another Zanarkand blitzball team. Everybody from Zanarkand was there to watch. Blitzball was the known as the only form of entertainment and a distraction from the crazy things that happens in the world. During the blitzball game, everything went horrifically wrong when something emerged from the sea and attacked all of Zanarkand. Tidus woke up after falling from the attack, when he woke up he met a man he knew named Auron.

When Tidus asks Auron what is he doing, Auron responds by telling him he was waiting for him. Tidus, being confused by everything happening proceeds to follow Auron. When Tidus tries to get some answers from Auron, Auron tells Tidus to look. What he sees is a huge water sphere with a whale-like species on the inside. Auron says "we called it Sin". Tidus is confused, when suddenly creatures from Sin emerge. Tidus tries to wave his arms to get them away, when he falls Auron hands him a sword. Auron says that it is a gift from Jecht. Tidus and Jecht then fight through these creatures.

When too many creatures ambush the two, they decide to his an electric bomb to get out fast. After this bomb falls the two begin to run. Tidus almost falls to his death, begging Auron to help him. Auron takes Tidus and tells him "this is your world now".
