Our game presentation is very important and is a big thing to my team. We want everyone to like us and be interested in our presenting, instead of been bored and wishing ours wouldn't last a long time. My team has been practicing to have a great presentation, by speaking loudly also have a clear voice. Although our clear voices will be important in presenting we will be giving body features to interact with the audience, and take turns reading and presenting, so each team member will have their time to make it fine. Our team will also try to make as much eye contact as possible and give the audience our full attention. We want our audience to enjoy our presentation as well as our game, so my team will define everything about our game and we expect good question from our classmates and audience to help them understand parts of the game that we didn't clearly go over. We wish to ourselfs a great presentation day and to our classmates. We all have faith in you, and can't wait for that big day to come so we can show off how much hard work that we have put in these games. We hope to see you there with your shiny eyes open and your cleaned ears ready to listen.
In Globaloria we have been working on our game demo's. Game Demo's is sorta like a short powerpoint, except you work on flash and a game demo tells you what the game is going to be like. In our game demo we will be explaining our gameplay, who our audience will be, who the characters will be, and many other things. To get the audience more interested in the game we will have to use design and animations, although we have worked very hard on getting these things finshed, we can still make changes to it and make it a better game. Text is a thing that every game should have, and my text in our game is yellow and blue to match West Virginia. Most or every game has screen shots, well our's does to, we have already taken the shot's and inserted them in our game. The screen shot's gives the viewer a little bit more about the game and how it will be played. Our game design is also finished, and to match the West Virginia theme, we have inserted a sign of WV on it. Even though our game sounds like it is almost finished we still have plenty more to finish on it, that will take hard work and a interested person to do it. We want to make designs move around and create an effect to our game design. We also need to put a playable scene in our game so that the audience can interact with our game in a better way. Our WV sign is pretty and it will catch your eye, but we still want to atleast put little icons of WV on it so that it will make our theme look better and more prettier. If my team can acomplish all of this hard work I think that we will have a great game, and a super amount of players who like to interact with it. We all can't wait for this game demo to be over with so we can see what a great job that we have done on it.
In Globaloria today we watched a video about students persenting and they told us what to do while presenting and they also told us what not to do while presenting. The students decribed every step inch by inch and it was very informational. When I say every step I mean that there is many certain things that you need to make sure you do or say in a presatation but there is also many things that you need to make sure you don't do or say. If you say the wrong thing it could mess up your presatation or it could get you off of track and make you stumble over your words. Presenting is very important and something you should always remember to do is look at the judges and make sure not mumble and get nervous because there is nothing to get nervous about. Mumbling is the very important thing you should make sure you don't do, because the audience or the judges may not be able to hear you, and they would grade you good on your presenting. Another thing that is important that you need to make sure you don't do is not to bring your paper right in front of your face nor you shouldn't hide your face with your paper. Using big words will make your prsentation better and more intertaning. Speaking loud and clearly will also help your presenting. Presenting is very important you just need to remember the things that you need to do and what not to do, and if you follow them rules I bet your presatation will be the greatest ever.
Wow, it's almost thanksgiving, and I can't wait! Thanksgiving is full of joy, and I am so thankful for it. This week is our last week of school for Sandy River then I will get to spend a whole week with my family and friends for Thanksgiving. I am so thankful to have friends like I do and the family that I have. Thanksgiving is going to be different this year but it is still going to be full of love a joy. The change is good because my family and I get to go to my aunt's house to have our Thanksgiving dinner, instead of them coming to our house. It is going to be so fun because we get to spend all night with each other and go shopping on Friday. Thursday is going to be the best though, because we are having dinner with each other and some of our family friends is getting to come also. I am just so thankful to have them people in my life to love and cherish. Oh and don't forget about my church family, we give out food to the families that don't have a lot and can't buy a meal for their Thanksgiving dinner. I am just so thankful to have church family as great as I do, and to be able to help with a helping hand. Thanksgiving is just so awesome and I can't for it to come around every year.
Well, the mini game wasn't the easiest or the funniest, but in the end it was pretty good. I wasn't the best uploading it, and getting the code, so I had one of my globaloria friends to help me. She was excited to help me and learn me how to upload the mini game. The way that my friend Hannah helped me, she gave me advise that showed me and explained to me how to get the code and upload it. After that it was a little better and I understood it more. I am so glad to have a friend like her to explain things to me, and in the end the mini game wasn't so bad after all.
My team members is great. We agree on most of everything, although there are some tiny things we argue over. Arguing is a habit for sisters though, yes I said sisters. My partners ended been my bestfriends, sister, and other half. So when we argue it's because we are sisters. Although we have improved alot from the begining of the year, I just think that we have got older though. On our game we agree on almost everything, and we try and give each other the same amount of work to do on our game. So nothing really is a problem now. I am so thankful to have friends as great as them and to have them as my partners. I wouldn't change anything for them and I love them to death. And been besfriends I think that our game is going to be great.
Although flash is fun and very helpful to our game, it is hard and a big challenge sometimes. Buttons is the easiest I think also creating scences with different key frames. Animations and coding is the biggest challenges to me and it can make our game slow sometimes because I have difficulties with them. Finding the codes is easy but the hard put is setting it up. Setting up the buttons is really fustrated to me. After practice and learning more about the coding I think that we could set it up great in our game. The one thing is, learning how to set them up. Overall I think we will get good with it, and our game will come together. Flash in awsome and I love to work with it and even with the challenges that come with it.
