Feedback Strategies

Le Strategy of Feedback

 

For this week's reading of feedback, I went on to read Be a Mirror which went over the different ways you can give feedback which includes 'being like a mirror'. When I think of a mirror, the mirror only shows whats in front of it with no judgement, which is what that type of feedback is based on. If you don't mention the mistakes that the person makes and instead just highlight what they did do, that could show them what they really flourished in and what areas they have room to improve in and that will also lead to a growth mindset.

 For me personally, I've always been in a fixed mindset until recently. I tend to keep a growth mindset especially when it comes to drawing and I think that will also help in other aspects such as college and my future.

The second article that I read was Why Do So Many Managers Avoid Giving Praise? which went over the reasons why you don't hear praise from managers and the article even showed some statistics and we know that if they give statistics, then it's legit. From this article and personal experience, managers try to avoid giving praise and more focus on the negative feedback which they believe would help them improve where in retrospect wouldn't have that effect but instead make them think about it and impact them differently. I was even surprised to learn that most managers like to avoid giving direct critical feedback. I'd say if workplaces introduced a review system aimed at improving people's growth mindset, work would flourish more and even be less toxic

Overall, I do believe feedback shouldn't focus on the negatives but really focus on what the person does well and help them improve upon it or whatever they are struggling with.

  What I enjoy Hola 'tis me. I'd like to talk about what I enjoy doing in my free time and my future aspirations that I have. A thing that I've been getting more and more into is music. Music is a daily part of my life and sometimes it is hard for me to get by without it. For example, I always have to listen to music when I'm doing work or sometimes when I'm playing a game where game audio isn't important at all. My artists that are on heavy rotation are The Weeknd, Kanye West and Jay-Z as they have most influenced my life through their music and their personalities. Music has also inspired my future aspirations. Currently I can't choose if I wanna go into music as a career or animation as I love drawing(although I'm not too great) and have always wanted to improve on my skills. Those are like my dream career paths and I honestly should be working much harder to work towards my dream job. I want to eventually leave Ireland for Japan or somewhere where bu

Understanding Game Design

  Learning Game Design Fundamentals After reading "What is a game anyway?", it gave me a new perspective of what a game actually is. I've always had a straightforward way of thinking about it. I always knew it was an art as there are so many masterpieces of games out there, but there are so many different elements that actually make a game what it is. In order for a game to function as a game, it has to have rules, activities, goals, decision making and so many more aspects. All of the games that I have played or that are out there have these elements and are the reason why they exist. I have also learned that people have different interpretations of games and what they are, but to me a game is where you get to forget about the outside world and immerse yourself into the experience and enjoy yourself. Learning how to come up with ideas whether they are good or bad is also essential to game design as you have to go through all of the options you have. After reading "T

Alpha

Setting up the Menu   For this week and to try to make this game look more like an alpha build, I fixed the camera issue I had in my previous sessions. I had to delete my previous scripts for the camera and created new ones which finally managed to work. The only thing that I couldn't really get right once I fixed my main camera issue is the clamp method to adjust how far the player could turn and look up but overall I got what I wanted. I also managed to set up the pause menu for the game so that the player could enter the settings or quit the level if they wanted to. The thing that I had a problem with was because the key to fire is the left mouse button, and to select one of the pause menu you need to click the left mouse button, it fires the arrow even though the game is frozen and it's something I'm currently trying to fix. The things I need to fully add are the fire arrows, the in game hud and the main menu and after that I would say that the beta build would be final
