I found Seven ways to crush self-doubt  to have some vary good advice. I agree with number 1, I should not try and compare my work to someone else and just focus on doing my one my way. I also agree with number 5 set goals that are within my control to be rather good advice and something that I will do in the future. I also number 3 be vulnerable to a trusted community, I ask what my friends think of my work so far all the time so as to get there opinion on what could be improved upon. Another link I found useful Silence the critical voices in your head  and how they suggested to see ever thing in a glass half full point of view trying to find a positive to everything, However I do sometimes find that difficult as I can be a bit pessimistic when it comes to work but in the future I will try to find more positives and be a bit more up beat.

(my brain storm for game ideas)   The first game idea that I came up with is a racing game, it felt like a rather good idea since so far the only tutorial we have done in unity involved cars, where you as the player will take control of a car and have to race along the track in the limited amount of time the is given to you by me and you get a point for each lap that you complete in the given time. I got the idea to do a racing game after seeing a walk through of Mario Kart on YouTube so the style will be similar but much more simple due to my inexperience with unity. For my layout I was thinking, since it was inspired by Mario Kart and they are known for their crazy and odd environments, the background for the game would be outer space and if  possible  have the track going around the sun. As for the track its self I figured that I would make a relatively standard race track with it starting off with a few different obstacles like crates and...

While I was doing unity tutorial 1, I found the video instructions to be very helpful. I enjoyed putting together the small game it helped tech me how to add and remove objects from it, as well as add and change C#Script however in order to do that I had to download Microsoft Visual Studio which took a while to finish but once it had it was very easy to add and change certain things about specific objects in the game. It also taught me how to make objects fallow the physic of gravity and collision which I thought was going to be much more complex but was actually very easy all I had to do was add rigid body to the components and nothing more. However lesson 1.3  took a bit longer not because it was hard but because the internet at the time was not working well so the instruction videos took a lot longer to buffer but I feel it was also the most impotent as it taught me how to handle the camera and make it fallow to vehicle...

WHAT IS A GAME ANYWAY In the paper "What is a game Anyway" it uses informal language to describe to me what a game can be and give me example. One such example that was given was "Three to Fifteen" the author explains how many players there can be, the objective, how progression works and how to win. The author then went on to explain critical vocabulary, which is essentially the describing of a game to people. Next they went on to what defined a game with a list of peoples different opinions on what that means a few examples are a game has “ends and means”: an objective, an outcome, and a set of rules to get there" by David Parlett another is "A game is an activity involving player decisions, seeking objectives within a “limiting context”" by Clark C. Abt. (image of the paper link to hear) THE ORGANIC NATURE OF GAME IDEATION The next paper "The organic nature  of game ideation " was written in a much more  academic style , the paper starts...
