Starting Out

The project group task that I’m currently working on is focusing on how gaming has changed over the years with the introduction of monetisation in gaming. It means that now in gaming, there is a lot of actual money spent on video games themselves. Spending real money on cosmetics items don’t boost you at the game at all.

For this project, my group all have different roles to play. The amount of people that are in my group is four people. Their names are Cian, Harry, Anthony and finally me. The name of our project that we are focusing on is Player Agency and Interactive Narrative. What Player agency is about giving players the ability to affect and change the game world through the agency. The player would have the power to influence and change what would be happening in the game as it would provide them control on what would happen next.  

For this, we are looking at different ideas that are related to our topic that we have to focus on this could be PC games, Console games, Digital Augmentation board and tabletop games Augmented reality and play, Mobile gaming and Monetisation in gaming. In the group, we all have a role to play. We all have to do a voice recording in under one minute, talking about all the different topics related to the Player Agency and Interactive Narrative topic. Also, we will be using Adobe Premiere Pro as the editing software to edit our voice recordings. It’s split into four parts they are:  

  • Editing- Cian would be then editing the audio and the voice recordings in the Adobe programme that we have chosen on doing our project in. He would also be editing the intro of the video and the outro of the video itself.
  • Comparison- Harry would then compare two games and how they both tell their stories and how the player would interact with them. 
  • Player activities- Anthony would then have to work on interactivity, skills, active engagement and immersion. 

As for what I’ve mentioned above, I’m focusing on monetising things in gaming itself. Other related things would be DLC (downloadable content) and FTP (free to play). Right now, I’m researching games related to the topic that I am focusing on right now. I do have some ideas mainly because I’ve been playing games nearly all my life and it has changed over the years some of it is good some of it is not so good at all.

Looking Back

This week I finally wrapped up the group project I had to do over the past few weeks. This took a while to do with all the research that everyone had to do to get everything right and ready to go for this project.  My room with Microphone/IPad Pro using GarageBand  Shot by an iPhone camera  For this project, we had to shoot a video talking about how gaming has changed, and it's good or bad. What I mean by that is that in terms of being good would be that the graphics of a game looks good and detailed. There’s a lot of content in the game itself, and with the evolution of technology, game developers can quickly implement and build up their games. The wrong side of this, however, is the continuation of microtransactions which can lead to gambling which would lead to children’s parent's losing their money because they are spending it on weapon skins and clothing items for their character in a game.  That’s what I generally talked about for this project and how I did it ...

Revising writing

This week I had to read some readings detailing how to be good at reading and writing essays. They are listed below, which are Writing strong paragraphs. Paragraph structure This reading mainly focuses on what is a paragraph and how you go on writing one, and what not to put in a paragraph. This can quickly be done by splitting it up into three paragraphs such as the beginning, the middle and the end. A paragraph would usually be around 250 words that would mainly consist of approximately five or six sentences. The beginning section would usually consist of an idea which would have to be the critical information first before anything else and must be explained very clearly before moving onto the second paragraph. It is also known as the topic sentence. The second paragraph would mainly consist of explaining the idea that was first introduced by the topic sentence. Only this time, you would have to provide evidence of the concept and some examples and define why it is relevant. It is al...

Rewrite #3

Image
Changes For this week, I have to rewrite my blog for the third time. Which blog? The Media ethics blog. It is currently one of the best blogs that I’ve written. Also, it has the most comments on it, which is around six comments with good positive reviews with one criticism saying that I should expand on my thoughts on the videos in the blog that I had to review on.  For the changes, if I’m going, to be honest, I haven’t changed anything much. I mean, in rewrite #2, I’ve made the necessary changes overall which there isn’t much that I can change. If it were another one of my blogs that I could make changes to, it would’ve been good. However, I can only think of two changes that I can change, and they are: Fonts:  I never really have used any of the fonts here, so I thought, why not and mess around with fonts to see if I can find what I like and will probably use the one that I will like.  Subheadings: I have added subheadings already, but the only difference that I’ve made...
