Tim's+Project+3+Reflections

1). What was your individual process like for this project? How did you approach the first part, the article annotation, and was that process different from what you did for the the third part? Which part of this project was most difficult for you? The more research based article annotation or the more creative based game script?

My process for this project was really easy because we had alot of class time to understand what we were suppossed to be doing. This really helped me get together all my thoughts and make the best project possible. For the 1st part of the project I read an editorial that interested me alot. I found it easy to annotate it because I was very interested in the subject of the article I was reading and had strong opinions. The part that was most difficult was probably the script for the game. I have trouble being creative and coming up with stories so it took a while for me to figure out a story.

2). What did your Wordle tell you about your time with Minecraft? How has playing Minecraft influenced your game script? Did you use Minecraft as a example when writing your script?

My Wordle helps show the troubles and successes I have had with Minecraft. Playing Minecraft has helped my creativity problems because i can use it to base my script off of. I sort of used Minecraft as an example. I didn't use everything that I did but I included some small things that happened that I believed would make a great story.

3). What went into your process for creating the game script? Did you think about other games you have played or we have discussed in class?

When I went into creating a game script, I basically sat down at once and just thought of an idea until I started to get rolling and then kept going until I felt that my script was good enough. I didn't really think too much about other games once I found out the basis of my story.

4). What advice might you give other students working on annotating articles, writing blogs or drafting something creative like the game script? What roadblocks did you face and how did you get past them?

I found it easy when I picked one of the things to do, just sit down and do as much as you can at once. It helps you get on a roll when trying to be creative or when you have an opinion on something. You also want to go back at a later time and re read it to make sure that it all makes sense. A roadblock that I faced was with creativity. I found it hard to create a story but I just kept brainstorming until I developed something good and just kept rolliong with that.
