Review Week Comments and Feedback.

Today I'm gonna review weekly comments and the feedback I received. As a person who values feedback and doesn't take offense to it, I actually liked the feedback idea. I found the feedback I received was in great quality, I felt the feedback was fair and understandable. I also receiving comments as it made feel closer to my year, how they acted and how we would joke.

To be honest, after reading people's introduction blog, I started to hate my own introduction blog, everyone has a more interesting life, WE HAVE A WRESTLER! and me? I'm just a cub leader who like metal and generally focuses on their work rather then their friends. I thought about changing my blog and my introduction but to be honest, I forgot.

I found comments the most useful when it was easy to read, I hated when people would leave just walls of text, it's harder for me to read because of my dyslexia, in fact I had to get a RULER to read someone comment! Eventually I stopped reading the Berlin wall of text and remembered to returned my Brother's ruler, sorry Mark. I also found comments that talk about their game or their experience was useful. I felt it made the comment more relate-able and made their advice more value-full (Blogger is being weird with spelling, that or I'm an idiot.) in my eyes. 

Now, it time to discuss about how I gave feedback, obviously I gave flawless advice that people love and, okay all jokes a side, let's really get into it.

At first I didn't think much on commenting, just do this and get it over with, then I actually started doing it. I thought it was a simple task, I was wrong, I would spend minutes on someone's blog trying to find the blog I was supposed to comment before realizing that they used the wrong tag or didn't do the blog. So I back to the website, go to a different blog, hope to god that they did the blog and after finally a blog to comment on, I realized I had nothing to say.

A meme about Feedback, taken from Here.
I soon developed a plan, I would read the blog, then make points for the comment and finally write the comment. I tried to find positives and negative that I could write about in feedback, but this was sometimes really hard! There's was one time where I couldn't think of anything positive to say about the game and just wrote about the blog or how the person had good sketches ! I also had a situation where I couldn't think of anything negative to say about a blog and nitpick their game ! Oh I also had a time where i didn't know what to say about a blog at all and went back to the website!

I would try to be fair as possible but it was hard when you can only see the bad or only the good. Sometimes I felt like a complete jerk other times I felt like I was too soft.

Now it's time to look forward, I think I need to be more truthful, be nice about it of course, but, as my mam would say, "call a spade, a spade.". I also think some of my advice/tutorial weren't great, so I think I need to think harder about the advice I give and how I give it. I also think it might be time to make some changes to my blog and how it looks.

Unity tutortial 07

Another week, another unity tutorial this time I'm not following along with Jimmy Vegas' tutorial series and instead following another series of tutorial to learn how to put an inventory in my game ! In particular, this video  Unity Inventory UI Tutorial  which is a 3d inventory ! Thank god, every fucking tutorial I looked for inventory were for 2d games, not 3d. I did find a blog as well but when I did try to follow along, it didn't go so well so I decide to ditch that and found a 5 minute video. Working on my inventory, yes I'm using my JV tutorial world and turned off fade in, Screen shot taken by me. Now it's confession time and I thought I would say this : I miss Jimmy Vegas. Yeah his tutorial weren't great but some of these tutorial go really fast and you just have no idea what is going on. That's why for my next tutorial I did Jimmy Vegas RPG tutorial #024 Boss Ai  ! Unfortunately Jimmy's Video is part of a series and I don't really w...

Unity tutorial 06: Thanks Google and Unity!

FINALLY I'm done this unity tutorial ! Oh my god you have know idea how long this took me. First Chrome decided not to work, like at all, I don't know since it wasn't my wi-fi or laptop since Firefox work fine for me, so why ? No idea. Cheers Google ! Screenshot taken by me. Oh and the Unity video froze again , then it crashed. I feel you buddy, screenshot taken by me. So how did the tutorial go ? Pretty good actually, once unity stopped messing me around, I actually didn't have a bad time. I guess my only problem is this error which I can't figure for the life of me what it's on about: Null Reference ? What you on about Unity ? Screenshot taken by me. Seriously Unity telling me Null Reference is like telling me my Dad wants me, I've no clue what you're talking about. Anywho apart from this error, I feel like this was the most useful tutorial so far, the others were great for getting back into things while learning a few new tricks but...
