This was my first lesson week it was to famliarize what to expect in this lesson.
Just to prepare us for our Journey to come.
We started going through what is game programming general and the type there is That the list I wrote. We also looked at Progamming jobs online through Linkdin and site called Game map shows all the Game dev jobs in the UK. Also mention salaries and what the requriment(What the employer looking for) and is the type of job is what you're Looking for.
We had discussion to figure of what type of Progammer would you like and fit you. Reason is that there're many different type of progamming and you might not know what you want to focus on later or you might know exactaly know what you want to do or change your mind later on during your journey.
So help us have better exactly what we're getting into to. It starts of some one ask you questions to get to know what you want to get out of it. Like I chose Gameplay Progamming and answers some question and from the feedback and back and foward I was able to understand theres more to programming and what I want to do with it in games. And learned theres more to Gameplay programming in general and Its umbrella to others thing used game(play) progamming and that I want to code function for the game to play way it I want to and need to do.
Thats why I have list shown in the right, that I want to learn I game programming.
On this day we went over analyzing games, for this lesson we had to write as statement about what you like and dislike about the game you chose, like from mechanics , looks, features etc. We went played games to help us analyzing it , you could choose any game to play or choose game you know well or watch gameplay video. Here I chose game I know somewhat well and here screenshot of my statment written on padlet.
This get us thinking why company chose this gameplay or approach, what we could do to make better or have inspiration etc.
