Analysis


(https://www.gamespot.com/a/uploads/scale_super/1568/15683559/3133099-playstation.jpg)

For this weeks reading task we had to further analyse our topic. Since my topic is "The History Of Gaming Consoles" I decided that this week I was gonna base my research around the Playstation. First thing I did was I looked at an article on the history of Sony as they are the company that invented the Playstation. While I was reading this I discovered that the founder of Sony was Masaru Ibuka so I decided to research an article on him and add that information to my book as well as the history of Sony. I then looked up an article on the evolution of Playstation which included information on the history of each Playstation as well as their notable games. This book writing is starting too get a bit easier however I still am struggling in some areas with things such as review matrix's and referencing although I am learning lots of new information about the history of gaming throughout the process.

Introduction Post

  My name is Eoin Harrington. I am 22 years old. I am in 2nd year in creative digital media in TUD Blanchardstown. The photo above is a picture of myself (and a pretty good one might I add). The best classes I took last semester were digital photography and storytelling and narrative. I enjoyed digital photography because I have an interest in photography and it was fairly easy and I passed it. I enjoyed storytelling because I have an interest in filmmaking and it is what I want to do when I am finished this course so I ended up with a basic idea of what it was like to actually make a film as our main assignment was to make a short film and I then passed it which made me very happy as I now feel like I might actually be good at it. I enjoyed introduction to digital media as well because it was interesting learning about the evolution of digital media and I enjoyed doing the essays as they were interesting topics. Web development was an interesting module however I did find it very chal

My Favourite Game: Grand Theft Auto Franchise

 GRAND THEFT AUTO ( https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/logo-grand-theft-auto-game-samsung-tablet-grand-theft-auto-gta-action-adventure-video-game-series-created-david-113844972.jpg ) My favourite video game franchise is the Grand Theft Auto franchise or as it's otherwise known GTA. Grand Theft Auto is an open-world action-adventure video game franchise where you play as gang members who mainly specialise in car theft hence the title Grand Theft Auto. The first Grand Theft Auto was released in 1997 and its most recent title Grand Theft Auto V was released in 2013. Grand Theft Auto V is currently the best-selling video game of all time. The franchise consists of seven main games and four expansion packs. I like the whole concept of these games. I like that you have the choice between playing missions and completing story mode as well as a really enjoyable free play. One of my favourite things to do during free play is police chases. My favourite game in the franchise is Grand Theft Auto

Game Alpha

Image from my game This week I have continued working on my game like I have been doing every week. So far I have been enjoying the process of making the game. I decided since I have limited time to just make my game simple rather than stressing myself out to make a brilliant game. So far I have my player moving and my crates disappearing however I'm still having issues ending my game. Strangely enough when I type in my game over code my crates just disappear without me even moving my player. Once I manage to end my game I feel like I will be ready to wrap it up so the sooner I get these issues fixed the better.
