Self Evaluation

Learning Outcome 1 - Understand a range of methods and skills:

This assignment was my first time experimenting with many things including: Game maker, animating sprites and editing sounds. I have thoroughly developed my skills throughout this assignment. i began the course with creating my traditional drawings which was easy as i just needed to find a game i enjoyed, i decided to pick borderlands, then create a pixel version of a character and object. As i progressed, i turned those by hand drawings into a digital version and later mixed my ideas i had with my borderlands pixel art with either; Space invaders, pacman or breakout, which required some thinking and creativity to produce.

I also attempted and successfully created sounds that would replace sounds in the original 3 games including the splash screen/main menu. For the main menu music, i chose an Iron man instrumental and edited by having a fade in to the beat, which it didn't originally have and increased the temp and pitch, therefore, making it sound almost completely different.

Communication:

Throughout this given assignment, i have voiced my ideas and even issues, on my blog, with a tutor or my peers. I have included print screens for every one of my blogs to show evidence of my progress on a task and included a few print screens of my issues i had along the way. I have also added photographs of my traditional drawings and included them into my blog to have 2 copies of my work. 

My communication i have used in this assignment has helped me gain more experience as if i had issues with a game or creating an animation i would voice it to a tutor or peer and work through it. i also asked for feedback on any game i created or drawings and some would be critical feedback therefore helping me change anything wrong with my game(minor bugs) and made my drawings more eye opening.
