Feedback Thoughts

Feedback Thoughts The first article I read was 'Why rejection hurts so much' by Guy Winch.  This article was very well written, a lot of what he said was mostly common knowledge. I liked his advice at the end though where he told us how to boost feelings over social connection. I've never been told how to deal with the feelings of rejection so this was very useful and I might try some of them out sometime. I also didn't know that feeling hurt from rejection is a survival instinct, I found that part of the article very interesting.  https://ideas.ted.com/why-rejection-hurts-so-much-and-what-to-do-about-it/ The second article I read was 'A Simple 5-Second Habit to Rewire Your Harshly Self-Critical Brain' by Joel Almeida. I liked this article much more than the first, probably because Joel Almeida was writing from a personal experience.  I think  REBS (reality-based self-congratulation) would be very good habit to get yourself into. I...

Game Brainstorm

Game Idea's Game idea 1 : When thinking of ideas for my group project under the theme change I thought of a possible game idea under the given theme, Change. I wanted to make a game on Global Warming. I want to personify a tree and behind him have a different plants and/or animals from the rain forest or maybe just the tree's small children and have a rich evil man throwing plastic bags, burning fuel, spilling oil etc. and the tree has to catch them/inhale them in order to keep the endangered animals/tree family safe from the man. I hope to make this a very simple to use game, with very few  controls. I looked up 'Games About Climate Change' and stumbled across this article. It gave information about causes. I was interested in the game descriptions that they used to teach  kids with.  https://www.legendsoflearning.com/learning-objectives/global-climate-change/ One game was called 'Preventative Measures' I started to  pla...

Unity Tutorial 01

UNITY TUTORIAL 01 Welcome back to my Blog, In this blog I will discuss my thoughts on my first Unity Tutorial by Jimmy Vegas. I had never used Unity before. It is a very similar layout to Blender so I didn't find the controls as difficult to get the hang of as I did when I first used Blender. I think it's easier to use than Blender, everything is more accessible and there doesn't seem to be as many hidden menus. Though I'm sure when we start doing more complex things on Unity it will be just as difficult as Blender.  Jimmy Vegas was very clear and his tutorial was very easy to follow along with, he explained everything he did really well but didn't dwell on anything for too long. I stayed engaged and didn't get bored, which I often do. It's a really cool software, Although I do like how we were just given packs to download but I would be very interested to learn how to make a tree and different terrains and textures...
