So I learned how to use a new modifier as the title implies it was the lathe tool. This tool is pretty neat because i can draw a 2d shape and attach the lathe modifier to it and it spins the shape around an axis. This is helpful for creating table legs, chair legs, and turns out it makes good chess pieces. I am glad that i have gotten this tool under my belt because i have a feeling it will help me in the future with modeling interior design of rooms or the suspension for bridges.

So now that i have the basic game pitch. I have decided to add to it. The helicopter will take off from the base and have to find the soldiers. when the helicopter lands to rescue to the soldiers, they will run into the helicopter. However there will be a twist the helicopter will only be able to hold 3 passengers at a time, so the player will have to fly back to the base and let the soldiers unload from the helicopter before being able to take off again.
This post is really about nothing that major because it is just to recap the entire quarter. We started this quarter using Adobe Audition which I have come to like and have gotten really good at using it. Then we made the jump from Audition to Premiere which is video. I have made some videos and I'm in the process of creating more. I hope to continue the video process as learning new techniques can only better one's knowledge.
So last week I volunteered at E.K. Powe's game night. I would like to review a game I played there: Twister. Twister is the game where you have to spin the spinner and then put what ever body part it says onto that color dot. It is pretty fun it tests your flexibility(I'm grateful that I'm a runner so I'm flexible). It was very fun until I had to do a split while my hands where on to other dots. Lets just say I'm not as flexible as where the 2 girls who said they did gymnastics. But overall it is a good game and I like it. A tip of advice though don't ply it against gymnasts.
Over the last week I have finished up working in Audition. I have found that it is really easy to use. I like how the layout of the program is. It makes access to everything you may need for a project very easy to find. I am really excited to continue using it for audio production because it is a good tool to know how to use. Next we are starting to move to video so I'm looking forward to a new challenge. I have heard a rumor that it is very easy to use like Adobe Audition so I'm hoping it is.
Over the last few weeks my team and I have been creating a game for the Durham/Chapel-Hill LightRail project. Today it was due. I'm pretty sure that it is not totally complete however, I had to take a leave of absence today for a family emergency so, I am not up to speed. I wish we could have worked as a group better on our communication skills. And I wish we had what every game designer wishes they had more of, time. I wish we had more time so we could make the game better and more detailed.
Full Sail University seems like a great college for someone who is wanting to pursue a career in the arts. I like how they have hands-on experience/learning instead of always being lectured at. But it is not the right college for me, as I am looking for a university with a good law/criminal justice program. I want to pursue a career in law enforcement or the Coast Guard.
Over the last few weeks I've been researching copy right laws and game designers.I have learned that there are a lot of laws that go around designing video games or any work really. I find some of it cool while some of it disturbing. There is a double standard to game designs. it seems that the people/or companies that get sued for violating copyright are the small ones. While large gaming companies can get away with it such as Rockstar gaming. Then there are other games that use logos and other things that if found out they get sued instantly. So why should Small companies get sued while the large ones can do what ever they want?
Last week I had to make an infographic about the video game industry. Originally I was going to do Afghanistan but after some research I found that only 3 or 4 cities have internet. I guess in other cities the wires are used for other things. I also learned that they love to play paintball. So they use rubber pellets until they turn 21 then they get to use real bullets.(Sorry about my little rant, I rant when stressed and tired). So at the last minute I decided to do Poland. Turns out that Poland has a growing game industry. They are most known for "The Witcher " series. They follow the PEGI European rating scale and have a free market with no banned videogames.
Thank you to Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator because knowing how to use these are great for making advertisements for games. I can also plan out games that I want to create. They come real handy when you need to create an Ad for a game. It's can create the rules to a game and many other essentials that you need in a game.
