Multimedia Year 2

Hey guys! hope everyone had a good week, this week as part of the Audio team I was tasked with creating a list of essential audio to present to Chris and James. The list goes as follows: General ambience Planes birds gunfire fire wind rain war-cries soldiers chanting soldiers marching character specific  breathing walking dialogue injured noises specific to weapons reload gunshots (upon research I found 3 specific weaponry that was commonly used during the 1916 rising) bullet impact (miss) bullet impact (success) empty clip interact noises door item collection item delivery ammo collection weapon pickup Thanks to Ian Cudmore! for suggesting the use of  BBCs sound effect files  which features a lot of the sounds necessary to our project although I don't want to use just assets created by other artists I look forward to creating a lot of them on my own ! Talking to Chris, James and Trevor on the aspect of music we all agreed that when it came to

Hey guys! Today i did some testing of my game along side some more development, i cant currently access the college due to injury so ive had to make do with the laptop i have at home, unfortunately the laptop does struggle with unity but not so much to a point where i cant continue my progress (thankfully) all is going well and i am flying along with the game, due to some events i am a little bit behind but am doing work everyday to catch up. i am now finally happy with the overall look and feel of the game, although i was having some issues when it came to the bow. in some instances i would grab my bow but for some reason it wouldn't equip from time to time, this was a problem of my computers doing its beautiful job at deleting all my hard work ! but a rewatch of the gem tutorial and axe tutorial from jimmy Vegas was all i needed to be back on track! now i need to add, targets, when i watched some tutorials they seemed quite complex but im sure after a bit of hard work il

Hey guys! today i am watching unity tutorials on how to further enhance my game. i started with a unity tutorial on the basis of creating a bow styled like Hanzo's from Overwatch  linked  here , in the tutorial we learn two very important aspects i want to include in my game, charge speed and charge max.  After this i watched a small tutorial on how to add a timer to your UI linked  here , it used a specific script that was attached in the videos case to the car in his game. a very important feature he showed was a start timer and finish timer which is very necessary for what i wanted to create for my own game Other then watching new videos on the bow and arrow aspect i have been going back and re watching all unity tutorials to try and get a better understanding of the entire process. i feel going back and re watching is really helping as there was a lot i had missed and a lot i hadn't really picked up and memorized. this way going back i can ensure that any m

Hey guys! Today I read a super interesting article on Giving criticism AND IT SUCKED! no i'am only joking if you read the article linked  here , you will probably relate more. Its actually a super interesting read and if you haven't read it by now, you have probably lost 4 marks and if you had you would agree with me that its pretty good! Its funny to see that even after reading the post i am still using pretty good as a way of responding to something which isn't a great sign. The post speaks about the importance of correctly giving good criticism as apposed to bad criticism but what defines good and bad criticism. Have you ever given someone criticism on something only to be told YOUR WRONG.. or F--- YOU MAN/dude/women/thing. that is probably because you don't know how to give actual constructive criticism. a good example of this is the fact that humans tend to use personal likes and dislikes in their criticism instead of giving feedback that people can use

Hey guys! Today I read an article on An Underappreciated Key to College Success: Sleep This article is extremely interesting and honestly pretty helpful  here  is a link to anyone looking to learn about sleeping habits, I seriously recommend this read if you personally are struggling to see the purpose in sleeping correctly. A very surprising fact that is mentioned In this article is how little colleges really pay attention to the fact that sleep is a huge factor In peoples ability to work hard and pass. some colleges even offering 24 hour library access, which is almost encouraging all nighters. a survey taken showed that 60% of people attending college actually want colleges to speak on the importance of sleep and how to manage it. some facts show that up to 16 hours without sleep actually sees the brain begin to lose function and when that is taken up to 20 hours without sleep a person can act and feel the same as someone who is legally drunk.
