Game Testing


I think this was a good article to read about giving criticism as it is what we are doing at the moment by commenting on other peoples alpha and first playable blogs. It tell's us how beneficial it is to get good and bad feedback without being biased. It gives some examples of how to tell someone that there work isn't good by saying something that they could improve on instead of pointing out specifically that you don't like it which i think was a great and helpful thing to have in their article.
I also agree that when it comes to game testing that you should get someone that is in your target audience to try it out instead of a random person as their feedback will be the most valuable. I think testing someone's could be fun as you get to tell them what you most enjoyed and liked about it and what you think they could improve on, you could also give them some ideas that they could add to it that they wouldn't have thought of. It would be the same as if someone was to test my game i would like their honest thoughts on it and see if they have any thoughts on what i can add to make it 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.

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.

First Playable

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...
