Technology in Multimedia Development

-
This module so far has been quite unusual to me because we have all created a blog (this one!) and have written a few posts like an introduction and a post about our favorite game. I have never had a blog before so this is really strange to have one for a college module, but definitely not in a bad way.
We are going to use Unity3D in this module and I'm very excited for it. I've heard of it but I've never used it, but I am familiar with its uses and the things you can make with it. I think we are going to create a simple game and I think it will be my favorite part or one of my favorite parts of this course because I've always wanted to be involved in the making of a video game. I would definitely want to learn how to make use of this program properly and to be able to demonstrate some kind of competency with it.

We are also going to use some image editing programs which I think are very simple to use as I have used them many times before so I am not too worries about it.

Graphics creation tools will also be used and I am unfamiliar with them. We will use them to create some programs and I'm looking forward to it, although I've never done anything like it before.

"Padlet" is a site that lets you do various things as I've found out through a couple of minutes of research as I've never heard of it before. It lets you do things like organise notes and create a moodboard.  I'm very intrigued because this sounds a bit like a mix of Moodle and Pinterest.

Here is the full list of technological tools we will make use of in this module.
I'm very excited to continue this course as I love working with technology.

Introduction

This is a little introduction post for this blog as I continue my course into the semester. I think CDM has been interesting so far. It's quite different from last year. Last year, the best class I took by far was Photography, it was so fun and I loved taking photos in such an artistic manner. I loved going into the studio and using the flash and playing with the lighting and setup. It was a really interesting module and I'm a bit sad we don't have it this semester. I'd definitely love to do some more photography again because it let me express myself in so many unique ways using various techniques taught to me in the class. I'm not sure I'd like a career in photography after I leave college but I will say its very fun so far. This is a very early photo of my cat Bella I took when starting out with my DSLR camera. I'm glad I take so many pictures of her because I like to look back on them! My goals for this module is to be competent enough in Unit

Final GDD

This week, I have finalized by GDD ( https://www.dundoc.com/project/4800/9ci821tfu4 ) and made a good few changes to it. I have expanded on a lot of concepts that I have written about, and updated the concept art. I have also included new pictures which give a better image of the kind of game I want to make, including the atmosphere I want to invoke in the game. I used this picture to show the sort of scary, moody atmosphere I want to implement into the game. I also made some changes and added to the gameplay descriptions, giving more specific and detailed explanations.

Game Design Document

This week I have created a much more in depth GDD, expanding on my Game Vision Statement. I put a lot of thought into creating this vision. I have included information such as the controls, what kind of art style the levels will have, and weapons I have done this on a site called dundoc.com which specialises in creating game design documents. I have laid out the necessities of the game, beginning with the story and characters and continuing on into the art, levels, and gameplay mechanics. Here is the link to my own GDD:  https://www.dundoc.com/project/4800/9ci821tfu4 My Game Design Document.
