Review Progress
Looking Back
Looking back at my progress during the course of the entire semester I feel that I have learned a lot and progressed well with my blogs and tasks. I’m happy with my progress so far with my blogs and with my consistent commenting and with my Unity progress. I feel that my weekly routine works for completing my work; I do the majority over the weekend as I have the most time them and do bits throughout the week which has been working well for me. I have enjoyed doing the project assignments a lot as designing a game and making it come to life is very rewarding despite the hard work and I hope that my end game will be functional and similar to what I had planned. I haven’t really been doing the extra credits but I will look into doing some more over the last few weeks to get more marks to reach my desired grade.
Looking Forward
For the second half of the semester I want to try and get ahead of my work as much as possible when I have the chance to so that if I ever need to skip some blog posts or tasks I wont lose out on points. I want to also start doing the extra credit options more often in the future to ensure I reach the points I want to get. I want to avoid leaving things until the very last minute to do and have them done ahead of time to ease my stress and give me some time to breathe. I also want to try and avoid the issues I’ve been having with Unity by taking extra time to do it in college (or when I get a new laptop my problems should be resolved). I'd love to try making my own models and assets in the future as I feel it gives me a lot of creative freedom and I can create things that are in my vision for my projects.
I found this picture while Googling motivational pictures of dogs and thought it would fit here. The ladder may symbolise something but the doggo inspires me moreso than the imagery of the ladder.

Hi Kayleigh,
ReplyDeleteYou're right, the doggo is the key to this image. Everything else is irrelevant. Well done on the progress! It's been a challenge keeping up to date with everything and not falling behind, but you seem to have managed that quite well! I'd love to use Blender as well to create my own models, but I didn't think there was enough time to do it this semester! Hopefully soon.

Hi Kayleigh!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your progress this semester. I think everyone at some stage will leave everything at the last minute due to procrastination but we all learn to deal with it eventually once we get use to the rhythm of things in college. Good to see you have everything sorted for the next semester!
A new laptop will definitely be recommended. Who knows if assignments in the future could get more demanding for our hardware? As long as the laptop is within a certain budget and works great, you'll do fine in the next semester.
I recommend Blender if you're going to make your own assets and models. Do make sure to read plenty of tutorials and guides on it because it's not really an easy software to use. Blender is technically just scale-adjusting in Unity but with extra steps. Many extra steps.
Good luck on your project.
And have a nice day!
