Exit interview

Exit Interview

You have reached the end of the course. 
Some assignments you may have enjoyed while others ...

Question 1: Which assignments did you enjoy and especially why?

  • Anatomy park minecraft project: because we were allowed freedom on how to do the assignment, and I already knew how to play minecraft.
  • Game journalism: because The Long Dark was an interesting game which had a lot of interesting content to cover.
         


Question 2: Which assignments did you struggle with and why?
  • Minecraft anatomy park project: although it was fun, it was a little too fun and I ended up srewing around too much.
  • Flappy bird: The coding part of the game was very tedious for me.



Each year this course changes flavour and explores different software.

Question 3: What innovative idea or software would you like to explore?
  • making simple games.
  • VR Technology, but that would be difficult to cover.

Now look introspectively at yourself.  

Look at your effort. 
Look at your distractions. 

Question 4: What should you have done to do better?

  • not play games with the people around me, and do more of the work at home to catch up.


Question 5: Sum up your experience in IT


  • My marks were not that great this year, but it was still interesting and I think I learned some valuable things.

Game Journalism - Fishing





Before you can fish, you have to find (or craft) fishing tackle.
Once you have the equipment, you need to find a fishing hut with an ice hole to fish from.
After fishing for an hour I caught a tasty bass ridden with salmonella.

Game Journalism - Day 2



Found a bow in an abandoned shack, is better than a rifle because you can retrieve your arrows.


A lichen hanging from a tree, not sure what it's for though.

I broke my wrist so I could not use weapons

A trailer camp I found

You can equip clothes that you find and wear multiple layers

sleeping heals your injuries


a lamp is useful at night, but I think it increases the chance of wolves finding you

I almost starved to death but grape juice and a chocolate bar saved me



Opening the safe in the cabin takes patience

The entrance to another part of the map, I died shortly after from a wolf that spawned right in front of me, very unrealistic!!! 😡😡😡
