Games Testing - Catherine Emelyanova
The gameplay of my game created in Unity3D.
Hello all!
For this week's final reading, I will be discussing the topic of "Feedback". Also how giving and receiving criticism is important for development, especially with big projects such as game development. The readings I will be discussing are http://theclosetentrepreneur.com/giving-criticism-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly. For those who are interested please take a read of the article and let me know if your opinions on this topic or options on my views.
In the reading, it describes how many of us can be self-conscious about giving criticism. This is because we don't want the person in which we are reviewing to feel bad about the work they have done.
However, in some cases, such as giving criticism to where there can be improvements made are important. If you work on a project and you have spent lots of time and effort, we tend to expect that we will get feedback that is generally positive. However, you should take into consideration that not everyone likes the same as you and that you should be open to criticism.
Criticism is a good thing. I feel most of us tend to see criticism as something that is negative. When you take criticism and apply it to your work. For the most part, it can improve your projects. Usually, you don't have to make so many adjustments.
In the reading, it says "Giving constructive criticism can lend much-needed assistance to an individual by giving them feedback on things that can be improved and issues that can be avoided."
That is all for tonight.
Feedback is always helpful if you would like to leave any comments.
All is welcome.
well a good day to you Catherine,
ReplyDeleteI must say that I am very impressed in the way that you have described this topic of Game testing and the way you write it out and explain it is very well done and excellently crafted blog post that you have made here. i think that you come up with a good point that it can be hard to come up with criticism and that many feel self-conscious when we receive some poor feedback from others (I mean I know that feeling from the past couple of days and from the past and let me tell you it really upsets me when it does happen because it can make you hate yourself for that you feel that you have made such an effort and then you can make a small mistake that can spiral into much bigger problems in the future and it is soul crushing) but it can help you find the error when you see it and then it can hopefully all work out in the future. I look forward to reading more from yourself because you have some very interesting ideas that you have crafted here and some very interesting blogs as well.
Cheerio!!!
