Final Evaluation


I am disappointed. I sit here, typing frantically, whatever comes to mind, as I try and finish before the deadline closes. Hopefully, I won’t be too late. Yes, what I have created near the end of the project was rushed, unwanted and likely a marginal failure. But that does not mean I have not learned. I improved – I did better than what I was like last year. Unfortunately, I didn’t complete everything, even though I thought I had, which is what leads me to this moment in time.

However, this is a sign of improvement. I worked more during the weeks than I usually would, and because of that, I feel like I’m improving slightly. Getting out of the habit I’ve been in for years is difficult, and will likely take years to get out of, but hopefully, by the time I finish this course, I will have overcome my difficulties as a student and will be able to move on to being a developer.
I apologise for this final evaluation to be short, but I suppose you could consider my journal a partial evaluation as well due to the time I created it. I also apologise for the mess of words I have created here, as I am writing as much as I can in the minutes I have left.

Yes, I am disappointed, but I am improving. Hopefully, one day, I will not be disappointed in myself like I have been so many times.

Task 5 (Fairytales and their uses)

There are thousands of games out there that can fit into some of Propp's functions - which one to pick, however, I had difficulty doing. I decided to pick a game that isn't too well known for it's story (in fact, it's a little criticised for its story) due to it's 'cookie cutter' ideas and presentation. This means that it should fit quite well into Propp's functions, and that game is Destiny 2 (the base game, not the expansions).  The set up is rather typical for modern action games. The player, returning from an unknown mission, comes to the home city to find it being invaded by an unknown enemy force. After landing and fighting through a variety of forces, the player discovers that the one leading the assault is on a large ship. After encountering the main villain, the player is defeated, stripped of their powers and left for dead. Afterwards, the player leaves to retrieve their powers and figure out a way to defeat the main villain, which they do, ...

Week 8

Image
For the final week, I only did a couple of things. This is where I started worrying about the work I needed to produce (not just artwork, but also journal work, which I hadn't been keeping up with), and started thinking about extensions. However, while worrying about that, I did manage to do some work, and wasn't absolutely horribly behind like I usually am. I created a little drawing deciding on the back of the character, where I imagined her having spider legs being able to protrude from her back. Along with that, I also created the start of the model sheet (the front view) and the character sheet drawings. Design Doll was heavily useful for this, especially with the Character Sheet, as i wouldn't be able to do anything as interesting in terms of poses without the use of the software. However, this was when I realised I was behind. It may not seem like it from this journal, but I had done no journal work and barely any of the tasks or essay. Because of that, I ha...
