Review Week: Comments and Feedback

The majority of comments I've been getting from other students have been positive and very helpful. I found the comments on my game process most beneficiall. I thought there would be more criticism on my game but it was the complete opposite. Getting comments off others gave me a chance to see my game ideas from someone else's perspective and not just my own. They gave me points on how to improve or ideas on things I could add that I may have not thought of myself.

I didn't really write many feedback comments on other people's blogs,  I wouldn't know what to write or how to give people points on improvement for their game process. Everyone seemed to have a good idea of what they wanted to do with their games so I wouldn't know how to add or improve on them.

I know the main point of the blog comments was to connect with others and get to know them but  I still felt a little awkward writing comments. However, on the few blogs that I have left comments, it was interesting getting to know people through their blogs and to see how others were getting along with their games. I did struggle thinking of what to say and  not ending up repeating myself on some of the blogs but it was still an interesting experience.

For my introduction blog, I never really know what to say about myself so I don't think it was that interesting and I probably could've thought of a better way to write it. I felt like it was really basic compared to other people's introductions. However, having an introduction blog was nice and really helped getting to know people. I didn't think I would, but I enjoyed blogging and seeing people's comments.

In the future, I would definitely try to comment more on other people's blogs and work on giving better feedback on their ideas. I would also put more effort into the appearance of my blog.

Week 9: Reading and Writing

When I first started doing the readings, I found them pretty difficult as most the time I didn't know what to write for the blogs or I wouldn't understand the readings. However, as I did more I got better at typing up blogs about the readings, or at least I'd like to think I got better. I still struggle with some readings but overall, it was a nice experience writing blogs.

Blogging was something new that I've never tried before and I honestly thought I'd hate it but it wasn't the worst experience. With other classes, they'd give readings but I wouldn't really read them, I'd quickly look through but not really pay attention but having to write a blog based off what I just read made me pay attention to details in the readings a lot more which made me learn a lot more too.

I think my favourite reading has been the latest reading I did which had to do with game fun. I learnt about the different types of fun and even though its basic knowledge that everyone has different preferences in things, it informed me about why we have these preferences and how it relates back to our ancestors which I thought was very interesting.

I don't think I have a big accomplishment for this class, I wish I managed my time a bit better and stayed on top of my work more but I'm happy that at least I tried something new and didn't completely give up on it. In the future, I definitely will try a lot harder to keep up with the work.

One of my favourite images from my blog is the one shown above. It's a screenshot I found online from the game "Corpse Party. I like it because it brings back memories to when I first found the game and how much I used to like it. I loved the story and the game style, although some scenes or parts were kind of disturbing, I still really enjoyed it.

I look forward to maybe doing more blog posts. I kind of enjoyed doing them, even though I didn't do all the blog posts I was supposed to do, I'd feel pretty accomplished when I'd actually do them, especially after really long readings. It would always be such a relieving feeling getting it done in time, especially since I tend to leave things til last minute.
