Games Testing

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 to improve.
Example
Red and Green sucks on your page it looks stupid and i don't like it (me being colorblind I feel I have  right to say this )
instead of that you can rephrase it,
Did you know that Red and Green is a struggling point for most people with specific kinds of colorblindness you don't wanna eliminate their ability to enjoy your work do you?

This way you eliminate the harsh personal hatred for what they have done and you give them an easy and understandable reason to why they might wanna change what they have done.

Another side you wanna understand is that some people just don't like criticism even if it constructive.
Some people enjoy doing what they do because it looks good to them and they enjoy it.
So try not to get upset when you phrase it correctly and they ignore it. at least u can rest easy knowing you tried to help in a positive way!

Games Stories

Hey guys! Today I read an article on  What Every Game Developer Needs to Know about Story Overall it was an extremely good read and i would recommend, although some parts I got lost. Mainly cuz i'm extremely tired and sick :) enough of me complaining lets get into it! what was it about?  Story in games and why the hell is it so important. to show why?, the post takes a dive back in time to look at old formats of story and why they worked, in an effort to show us how to make them work for games a relatively new art form. The facts are the facts and funny enough if you look back (nice rhyming there) in time, the change from movie to games seemed really fucking strange and i am pretty sure some people laughed at the idea of movies/stories being shown through games, but you can flip that argument on its head because movies are just advancements of plays. The first attempt to make movies into stories absolutely failed. The camera was set up in the form of a viewer so f...

Unity Tutorial 05

Hey, Today I watched a reviewed unity tutorial 9 , 10 and 11 . Unity tutorial 9 was an interesting introduction to sky boxes, lighting and wind zones. sky boxes seem to be very aesthetically pleasing. Using the TGU sky box pack the person doing the tutorial brought in many templates to use for the sky which effected lighting in the world. using certain settings he was able to increase decrease lighting, shadows textures. the wind zones was an interesting look and i learned that using wind zones you can create a sense of movement in trees and grass. but you can also change it so that when you are within a certain radius the trees and grass will then react to your presence. secondly i watched unity tutorial 10. this tutorial thought us how to pick up a weapon and how to use fade screens. using the code public class we wrote for the Collection of the gem, we can copy and paste this to allow us to collect our axe. Then we learned how to do fade screens. fade screens are prett...
