Game Design..

Today was my first class. The lecturer brief the history of game design.

Well, I am not a person who play games, so i'm not sure if I can do a good job in creating game.

There are few terms that I got to learn:

-Side scrolling

-1st person shooter (FPS)

-3rd person shooter (TPS)

-Hack and Slash

-Platform games

So before creating games there few steps that we need to follow:

1)Story mode

2)the experience

3)the anticipation

4)playability

5)Skills

As for today we created a simple buzzer game..

This is called as a buzzer game

I will soon upload the buzzer game that I created using flash.

That's all for today :)

Ah...3D Animation!?

Yea..this semester I'm gonna learn 3D animation!
Even my 2D animation is so-so. Don't know how I am going to survive in  this sem.
Anyways the software that I will learn to use is 3ds Max Design because my lecturer said this is much easier than other software.
So as for the first class I got the chance to use the 3ds Max. (getting myself warmed up with the software)
I also learned about low poly and high poly animation.
Low poly is a polygon mesh in 3D graphics that has lower number of polygons. This usually applies on games.
As for high poly, it is the opposite of low polygon. High poly is used in animated movies because of the performance as it makes look realistic.

Introduction

Today was our first class and it was kept short and simple.

My lecturer is a creative director of CUTOUT magazine, Jay Lim. He introduced himself by sharing all the things that he has been doing in past years and also now.
So as for our first class on digital publishing , he ask us to do some research on what type of magazine that we want to do. Oh yeah..we will be creating our own magazine! This seems fun and exciting but in same time it is quite stressful because we only have 7 classes with our lecturer. Thus really need to speed up and in the same time come out with a good magazine.
Hope to learn lots of things.

Internet Advertising

Today we learn about internet advertising in class.

So, online advertising can be purchased through any of these 3 ways:
1) CPM (Cost per Thosand) - Advertisers pay when their messages are expose to            
    audience. eg: 
2) CPC (Cost per Click) - Advertisers pay every time a user clicks on their ads.
3) CPA (Cost per Action) - Advertisers only pay when a specific action is formed.

Then I also learn about SEO ( Search Engine Optimization)
SEO is communicate to the search engines of  our intentions so they can recommend us
website for relevant searches.

Brand New Sem

Yea! Now I am in Sem 5. This gonna be a short term as there will only be 4 subjects.
The subjects are Digital Animation 2, 2D Game Design, Digital Publishing and Internet Advertising & E- Commerce.
Hoping that in this semester I will get to learn and explore more.
