Week 8 Reading and Writing

Looking back at my readings, My first thought that comes to mind is that I could have put more effort into my readings. I know I found it hard to come up with 200 words and knowing that I couldn't reach that I just gave up. I feel like I could make a big improvement on my reading's by putting in more effort and sticking at it till it's done, whereas before id go to do it then get distracted and keep going back and forth and forget what I had just read. I do find it hard to sit still and read, I have never been into reading, I find it very boring and a waste of time as to why I find it so hard to do this module.

Looking back on all the work I did on my project it is the opposite to my readings it went from doing good to nothing. Which was defiantly the wrong way to go about it. At the start I had many ideas about what I wanted, I still struggled with coming up with a good amount of words but I had tried my best. When it came to the blog's that had to be very detailed with a big word count it threw me off doing them. I ended up leaving them till last second and then having to rush it. I know it's going to be very hard to improve on this as i will never get over the fact that i have to do so much and I feel like I will never be able to write many words, but if I want to do good in this module I will have to start doing more work on my project blog's.

I have tried to do some tech tips to try and get some marks to make up for not doing some of the project work.  It's very small marks compared to them but it's better then nothing.

My favorite picture that i have was the animal crossing one from one of my reading's, I liked this picture the best as it brought back so many memories from when I was a kid playing this game. It used to be one of the most popular games back in the day. I wish i still had a Nintendo to play it for old times sake.


I'm looking forward to seeing if I can improve on my work over the coming week's and will hopefully get more mark's to make up for the one's I have lost. I'm hoping that I can some how just sit down and get as much work done as I can without getting distracted.  After looking back and seeing how bad some of my post's are I think that will be some motivation for me to do better.

Introduction to me

Well....my name is Chloe Traynor, I am from Wicklow and live up in the mountains in the middle of no where. I did a 2 year multimedia plc course in Blackrock to get into the second year of this course. I've been into computers since I was very young as one of my older brothers was a techy guy and showed me the ways.  I went on a J1 to the USA for the summer with 2 of my friends and it was the best experience of my life so far. you meet so many new people not just from America but from all over the world like Bulgaria, Thailand, Taiwan and Australia. We worked in South Carolina for 2 and a half months working in a restuarant where every one was super friendly and loved us just cause we were Irish. we then went travelling all along the east coast of America to Washington DC, Philadelphia and finishing off in New York. we seen everything there was to see in each of the states and by the end in New York we tried not to blow all our money so we just lived off of the euro saver menu in

Game Vision Statement

Introduction The Extreme Wilderness is a first person shooter game for PC that you are in a 3D open world and must survive the danger's. Description It start's off with you wake up in the wilderness with nothing so must venture your way around the map to collect different item's such as wood, a gun, ammo, health packs etc. with some of these item's you can kill the dangerous animal's before they kill you. With wood you can make a small little base to keep safe, or to even build a path way up onto a mountain. If you find a health pack it will restore all of your health if you have taken damage from something. Your health bar will be visible on the screen as well as the amount of ammo you have. The longer the game goes on the harder it will be to survive as the danger's become more frequent. You will be able to find different weapons across the map. There will be thing's such as a building that will be guarded by security and will try to kill you if yo

I downloaded a assets pack from the asset store called 'citizen of the forest'. I thought this pack would be handy so as I could add some buildings with detail like for instance to add different set's of furniture. I was thinking maybe I could add into my game where the player can take a nap in the bed to gain health back. I then downloaded some asset's from Jimmy Vegas's site. I used his package with the tree's and grass. I Decided to go with this as I've used these asset's before so I know they work good. I Downloaded a gun from the asset store and attached it to the FPS controller by watching a Jimmy Vegas tutorial on YouTube. His tutorial show's how to attach an axe to a player so I'm going to have to find one where it shows me how to make a gun shoot. I have been making my game between two different computer's which have different version's of unity and i keep getting error's here and there which is very annoyi
