Introductiones



 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 business thrives in what I want to do and I know I'll make it big.





I'm also really into anime and games and that's also where a lot of my time goes into when I don't have work or college. My favourite anime has to be Parasyte and my favourite game that I've played this year has to be Death Stranding as both of these things have an amazing story to them and just a gift that keeps on giving whenever I revisit them. I've always been into anime and is one of the main reasons I'm really into drawing and why aspire to become an animator. I always doodle around on paper and since I just ordered my drawing tablet, I want to get more serious with it and experiment with it more.



Anyways, that's all folks!

    Hi Justin! I honestly don't know what I would do without music as well, I'm really into old school hip hop and Jay Z has some amazing albums. I hope you end up getting your dream job in Japan cause I feel like it's the most safest place out there. I know a guy who lived there and he could leave his stuff on his seat and no one would take it. -Anna

    Hey Justin, I also need to listen to music when I am doing work. I like to have some nice music in the background, it helps me with the college work. It’s nice that you draw, it is a nice way to get a break from the screen and don’t worry it’s all about practice. Wish you Goodluck in your future job, hope it works out for you.

    Hey Justin. I'm with you on the music need - I can hardly work without something good in the background. I nearly went into music but so many people said you lose your love for it which is sad but hey, not everyone is the same. I've never been able to get into anime but I do hear a lot of good about it. Hope you're enjoying the year so far. I'd say you're looking forward to when we work more with audio soon!

    Hey Justin! It was cool reading about your music taste and how you like to enjoy it and how it has impacted you. Listening to music during anytime where it can enhance an experience is amazing especially if you're fighting a boss with your own cool backing track or working out to Ye. I think it would be interesting to see your music inspired animations and where you will go with it when you make it to Japan. Good luck with your plan man!

    Hey Justin
    I really enjoyed reading your blog. It’s cool that you started with you introducing your music taste and your favourite. This was cool because there is a lot you can tell from someone’s music taste. Although I wouldn't be too inclined to listen to these artists I would still bop to their most famous tracks. I also think your career plan is pretty cool. If you do go into the music business in Japan, I'll definitely keep an eye for your name 😉. But if you go into the animation realm, I know who I'll be asking to make my movie.

    Hey Justin! Really interesting post :) It is gives an insight into your life! I would be the same with music, I usually always have some playing even if it's just in the background. Honestly don't know what I'd do without it, although we have VERY different tastes hahah. I love a bit of pop or like indie pop. I've never actually seen any anime shows but I see loads of people raving about them! I must give them a shot! Hope you're keeping well, best of luck with the rest of the semester :) -Megan

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
