 This week I have decided to change the topic "distribution and monetisation" with a topic called “positive effects of gaming”. Since looking through the chapters I realised that there is a lot of subtopics for “negative effects of gaming” and I realised I would be more interested to look up the positive effects of gaming. 

I have used the Matrix method but I have also used word document to gather my information and resources. The Matrix method is useful but I find it a little difficult to insert a lot of information so I use word document for that. 

The topic "Positive Effects Of Gaming" seems like a very interesting topic for the book and also I did see that a student from last year wrote some stuff on that topic but I feel like there are many approaches to this topic and also many interesting things to talk about. 

I have used sources from https://scholar.google.com/ (Google Scholar) which helps you find academic papers and is very useful to find studies for your topic. I also used the college library for resources and there are many books, articles, journals available on the website. 

I have also found many articles on "positive effects of gaming" with information that includes the positive coordination in people who game, their imagination works better, lower psychological symptoms and many more facts about the positive effects.

Before researching this topic I thought gaming has one side which is the bad side to it but after researching the positive effects I soon realise that there are many positive effects and I am very happy with this topic and hope to find many more useful articles. This topic will give an insight to the good emotions that gaming can bring.

Introduction to a future business owner

A picture of me :)  Hi, I'm Milena, nice to meet you. I am 20 years old and I love food, joking, well not really because I do love food but there's more to me than love for food. I can speak three languages, English, Russian and Lithuanian. I came to Ireland when I was five years old and got thrown into junior infants a week later not knowing any English and you probably know how that went. I did a lot of crying for the few first weeks because I could not understand one word anyone was saying to me but then I learned.  This is how to say hello in Russian and Lithuanian.  -Russian:  Привет (Pri-vet) Privet -Lithuanian: Labas (La-bas)

Game Vision Statement

Projects: Vision Statement vision idea/design document     A vision idea/design document is created to present a plan that you have for your game. In this document, I will be expressing my idea of the game. I have decided that I am very interested in the game that would be called “Shooting stars”. I had game ideas like "shoot the starfish", shoot rings onto a big starfish, or shooting bubbles but I like the sound of shooting stars. The name "shooting stars" reminds me of the night, calmness, and overall peace. This game is all about relaxing your mind and destressing but also could be a challenge. The game genre is shooting.  The gameplay starts of with a beautiful dark night sky, some relaxing music playing in the background, and possibly some sound effects of shooting stars like some “SWOOSH” sounds or any other sounds that "shooting stars" could make. At the bottom of the screen, there is a shooter or a shooting station. The shooting station would have ...

Game Design

Game Design Public domain license Link to image Game design seems hard yet after reading a few articles you soon realised how easy it can be to design and create a game. In my mind to create a game you have to be a genius with all of the knowledge of coding but after reading a post by Angela He" From Zero to Game Designer: how to start building video games even if you don’t have any experience"  you realise that in order to create a game all you need to have is an  idea, information about what kind of game you want it to be and the purpose, characters, some experience playing games, and some passion.   After reading the class reading task I realise you can create a game by drawing a simple line on a paper and dividing it into sections forming a challenge for the character. The next step is to choose a character and the enemy for example I chose an apple as the main character and a girl as the enemy. The apple runs away from the girl because the girl loves apples and there...
