Feedback Strategies

 Feedback Strategies  In my read through this article it said that 21% of people avoid giving negative feedback. In this it tells me that the other 79% do give negative feedback. I don't understand why the other 21 % don't give negative feedback. I feel negative feedback is required so that people can fix issues and stop doing wrong and do better.I think negative feedback is a key aspect of improving work from people because if you don't give that feedback then the person will think their work is okay when in reality it may not be up to par with what they should be doing. Article link ( https://hbr.org/2017/05/why-do-so-many-managers-avoid-giving-praise ) In the second article I read I found an interesting word called feedforward, when looking at the article it explained that feedforward can come from anyone who knows about the task at hand. I like this because it means that you will learn about a certain objective from a person who knows a lot about it who has gone throu...

Game Idea Research

 Game Idea Research From my previous blog, I have given some thought on what I wanted to do. I decided to go with the following idea taken from my previous blog "For this idea I want the player to experience an open world like in GTA where you can drive around in the cars of your choice. In this game I want to create a map where there are coins or some thing scattered around the map. The map will have ramps and building with hidden coins. There will also be score which will award the player with coins currency which they can later use to get faster cars. An example of why you would want a faster car is not only because It's faster and cooler, but it will also allow player to get other coins that only a certain car can obtain. Let's say there is a ramp with a coin in the air. A slow car cannot reach the coin but a faster and better car can reach the coin. With the coins you can also customize whatever vehicle you have. Inspiration for this game are the stunt jumps scattered...

Unity Tutorial 02- My Experience

 Unity Tutorial 02- My Experience  This is a blog where I will be speaking about my experience following the Unity Tutorial 02 assignment. Since the first tutorial that I did for this module I found it fairly straight forward where everything seems to flow nicely. I was able to easily follow the guide and have close to no issues when doing so. The only issues I ran into is forgetting to type "private float" and other simple spelling mistakes in the code because I try to type fast. Other than those mistakes I didn't have much trouble this week.  I enjoyed these tasks as it made my game be more player friendly. By player friendly I mean it allowed me to gain control over the vehicle like allowing me to drive with W and S and steer with A and D. This simple mechanic allowed me to enjoy the process of code a bit more enjoyable because seeing the end result was very fulfilling.  I hope the future tasks I will be doing are as fun as this one because this one was my favouri...
