 Introduction to...ME!

  • what were your biggest accomplishments last semester? - My biggest accomplishment from last year was that how I got through my first year of college from just sitting in my bedroom. Looking forward to being on campus for the years to follow.😁💜




  • Did I travel over the break? - Yes. I went to Croatia to a music festival called "Dimensions" it was amazing. Listening to music in a crowd was something I really missed.

  • Favourite music? - I wouldn't have one particular person/genre of music I like the most, I enjoy listening to techno and rap. Peggy Gou, MGK, Jaden are just three of my long list of artists I like...

    Hey Linda, loved getting to know more about you ! I love Jadens music too and his sister Willows music is so so good. I've heard of Dimensions before I bet it was an unreal experience, here's hoping more festivals and gigs in the near future !

    Hey Linda! I must say fair play on getting through the first year of college at home online! That is honestly a difficult task and you did it, this pandemic affected us all in some way. I travel to Croatia every year when I go on holiday, it is beside Bosnia which is where I am from and I go to Dubrovnik which is a beautiful city.

    I also like how optimistic you are about what's going to unfold this semester. I must say that is quite a good characteristic to have especially when times get tough, you need to always have your eyes on the prize. I am kinda the same on a favourite music genre I am not too picky with it, I also really love techno and rap. MGK is quite a good rapper but my favourite one right now is Kendrick Lamar but all time is Tupac Shakur.

    Hey Linda
    This is a really well put together introduction post. I like how it's short and simple. At least one of us managed to get through first year by sitting in their room I gave up in semester 2 boy did that come bite me in the arse over the summer I'm still amazed I got into 2nd year. I'm glad you got to go away last summer the furthest I went was Belfast. I really liked MGKs Tickets To My Downfall album. My favourite song is Bloody Valentine. I'm glad one of us got the hang of Adobe Illustrator. Best of luck with this course.

    Hello Linda,
    Hello Linda this may be late since its November at the introduction is in September well I was reading through your introduction and it seemed really fun because it's unique and it looked really professionally like a social media type of thing and I could see you love travelling over the break you went to Croatia and you had a music festival I have never been true one and I can see you out of the picture of it's interesting your favourite music our techno and rap I kind of also enjoyed pop hyper pop rock pop Very interesting so far and I like the seed that you chose of the colour very interesting I don't really listen to Machine Gun Kelly and I do know Jaden makes a song I thought he just a film actor because I did see one of his movies which his dad acting, After Earth. And I thought it was a good movie but my parents don't like it

    Hi Linda, great introductory blog post.

    Congratulations on getting through first year online. I suffered during the second semester but I think I’ll get on better now.

    Great to hear that you went to a music festival in Croatia, hope you had a fantastic time!

    Great to hear that you enjoy using Adobe Illustrator, that will be great for Nicola’s work

  Alpha For this week, I wanted to add a few more bits to my game, the first thing I did this week, was I wanted to have a moving cube that went up and down as part of my course but I found the tutorials I came across very very long and I didn't want to spend that much time to only add one moving step into my game... I may find a few 'roll a ball' games on the app store to get inspiration for other obstacles and stuff to add instead. The next thing I did in my game was that I added background music. I am debating whether or not to add the music I selected to a menu screen instead of play mode as it could cause some people  to get distracted. I may replace or swap it out with a very quiet nature sound, like of the wind or something... screenshot I have since got rid of this layout above. But will keep to the theme of having a water feature etc. screenshot screenshot I think I'm meeting my weekly topics when it comes to my game and hope to start finishing the entire thing

 Four Possible Game Ideas. Game 1: For my first idea for a game it would be a ball balancing game. You have a starting point and have to make your way to the end without falling off. Each level would get more difficult when you level up. I think this idea would be not only really fun to make but it is simple yet exciting. I would make it visually pleasing the eye and have coolest details included as it could be a simple game to possible build so I could have more time in designing the objects and what the player sees on screen. It is the sort of game that has you biting your lip as it makes you want to complete each level to get further. I think this would be a game for all ages that would be effective. I have taken inspiration for this idea from the simple board game I use to play as a child. The game at a closer look can be found here: Click me .   It would be 3D style path and you can choose your ball of choice, or even unlock more types of balls (if I can make possible) . Using you
